He's loving the new 'freedom' of not having all the extra weight to carry around. It was a pretty thick coat! LOL! <BR/><BR/>The pic...My two brothers aren't in the pic. My youngest brother wasn't born yet, and I have no idea where my middle brother was taht day. In the pic, you'll see two of my many cousins and the other guys are childhood friends. Mind you, they were all like brothers to me. <BR/><BR/>Do you and your sisters still do the annual photo session? That would be neat!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251507898309184477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-46960894148947871092007-09-10T00:33:00.000-04:002007-09-10T00:33:00.000-04:00My god, C, what did you do to Chance?

That pic reminded me of my sisters and me in our annual photographing session when we were kids... we all had the same "bowl" haircut - and even worse, we even had the same dresses on. Up to this day, I can't tell which is me in that darned picture (and neither can my mom).kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164089059043119234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-83354872524291827252007-09-09T09:01:00.000-04:002007-09-09T09:01:00.000-04:00Uncivil:I tried that before!

It's amazing that his coat has grown in a bit and is evening out already and it's only been 2 days! <BR/><BR/>I'm so happy to see you blogging again! :) Can't wait to hear updates on Baby #2! :)<BR/><BR/>mrinz:<BR/>Thank you!

I tried to snip them off, but kept going and going...and before I knew it, he was <I>naked</I>!!!<BR/><BR/>I was snipping his coat for over an hour! Crazy! He didn't even move. He just stood there. He probably knew that it would be futile to resist, so he just let me do my thing.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, a professional would be ideal. A friend recommended two groomers on the island. I may just check them out next time! LOL!<BR/><BR/>I honestly didn't intend on cutting his coat all the way down like that.
