This is the longest LeeRoy's hair has ever been. I think it's positively gorgeous, but also messy because he sheds a lot and has to be brushed frequently. The shedding is the worst. His hair is all over everything in the house. I can't stand it. Also, he is miserable in this warm weather, even though we have air conditioning. He will lay on his side with his legs spread out, and just pant. He's not his usual energetic self, either. It got this way because my old clippers were worn out, and I couldn't replace them. Then we got Twinkie, and she plays so rough that I didn't want his skin to be easily accessible. Now he's got his bluff in on her pretty good, and I am not worried about that, so it's time to get rid of the hippy dog look.
He was actually shaking and rolling in this next shot. My camera caught it so perfectly it looks like he's being still!
Being groomed is SUCH hard work! My new clippers kept getting hot, and I would have to stop and let them cool down every ten minutes or so. Once, I found him like this. I thought he looked too sweet.
When I stopped for the last time, cleaned everything up, and went and turned on the faucet to get a bath, he ran and jumped in the tub! This is a dog who usually HATES to be bathed and protests with grunts and whines the entire time. Not today! He's ready to be fresh and clean!!! I just laughed and laughed at him.

I think his long hair looked beautiful! I miss you both!
I agree, but it shed like a cat, and matted very easily, and clogged the drain when I bathed him. Not to mention the way he sprawled on the linoleum panting pathetically. I will remember how beautiful it was, though. That was over a year's growth- almost two, come to think of it! I will probably not shave him again until next spring. We'll see how long it gets in that length of time. :)
I forgot to say I miss you, too!
