Not for me, still waiting for the salons to open, but for my dog, whose long black hair gets rather hot in the summer. I tried taking him in for grooming in the past, but I really like his shaggy face and legs, and that is what the professionals would always trim first. So I’ll stick with my unprofessional cut, where I shave his back, neck, and belly, and leave his wookie feet and beard. I did have to trim his ears this time. He managed to get matts at the tips. Aw.

Photographing black dogs is a challenge. That is all.
