Well, by a curious happenstance I've been thinking lately of getting out the clippers and just taking off what's left, at least for the summer. I just gave the dog his summer haircut today (Cocker Spaniel unshorn since mid-December. OMG there was a lot of hair on the floor!) but ran out of time to do myself. I think this thread could tip the balance. Someone should start a ne thread in "Show us your pics" just for those who got inspired by this thread to shave, or clip to nothing.
