Summer Cut

Yesterday Sydney and Cole went to to the groomers. Cole got his regular "style" but Sydney got a summer cut.

"Does this make my ears look big?"

Sydney's Hair Cut

This week has been crazy for all of us but we can finally see an end in sight. Thank you to those of you who have been praying for us as we take the Iowa tests. Tyler and I have finished our tests up today and most of the others only have a few sections left.
Recently our dog Sydney got her spring hair cut. My mom decided that she was so tangled that she needed ALL her fur to be taken off. We didn't want to spend the money on a trip to the groomers, when we can shave it all off for our selves. Right?... maybe we should have gone to the groomers. Sydney didn't exactly hold still for us so that made it very challenging. We could only do a little at a time so for a few days she walked around with three shaved legs and half of her skirt. Pretty funny! :-D Finally we got all of her cut and surprisingly she looks kind of cute! She doesn't look very much like a Schnauzer any more though!

Is that a smile?

"I hate pictures!"

Before & After

Sydney Before
Cole Before

As I have mentioned before we have two miniature Schnauzers, Sydney (female) and Cole (male). Our family has really enjoyed having them. They both have very different personality's which is so fun to watch. Cole is very laid back, nothing bothers him. Sydney on the other hand has always been very hyper and uptight.


One of the great things about Schnauzers is that they do not shed. This was one of the main reasons we chose this breed, however since they do not shed they have to be taken to the groomers periodically. We haven't taken them in, in quite a while because of how strange the weather has been lately. So not wanting them to get cold we waited. Today we finally took them! Here are a few before and after pictures. Do you think they needed a hair cut? :)
