Fur, Fur, Fur no more

This past week has been pretty hot. Bella seems to be over heating after being outside for just a short time so we had a hair brained idea to shave her hair off to help with the over heating issue. It was quite an event.

You see, under the guard hair that she has, she has a soft matted wool kind of hair. Human trimmers didn't like cutting that out. We finally had to go to the farm store and get animal clippers. Are they different you ask?

Well, I am not sure but I know that they seem to cut better and longer than the human clippers did. Anyhow, she got shaved. She was really good during the cut and even let us trim her more on Saturday when we noticed that there were still a few long hairs on her belly.
