Mr. Max styling his cool new summer haircut

“I like big mutts and I cannot lie…”

– I think he knows when he looks good

Thursday afternoon – and this turned out to be really great timing considering the sweltering heatwave that has hit for the weekend – I drove Mr. Max over to his friend Kayleigh’s place for his beginning of the summer haircut and grooming.

Kayleigh always does a great job, but this time she really raised the bar. We had agreed that Max needed more than his usual trim, and she managed to get the job done without compromising Max’s extra-cool and sophisticated style in the process.

At twelve years of age and over 100 pounds, Max looks – in my opinion – really great. And I hope the shorter haircut will help him deal with the excessive heat.

I am sure I must say this a lot, but I can’t get over how blessed we are to have such a beautiful, loving and sweet-natured dog as Max. But, there again, just about everything about our life here feels like it has been lifted from some Norman Rockwell painting.

This haircut provides the perfect opportunity for one of those “Before” and “After” photographs. Enjoy – DEREK

  1. Max is absolutely rocking that summer cut. He looks like he knows it too.
    I love how these everyday moments turn into something so warm and uplifting here. There’s something really special about the way you capture ordinary life and make it feel like a gift worth pausing for.
    Max definitely approves of this upgrade!
