Firstly, Dozer is very embarrassed about this picture.  He hates it when his hair is cut this short… the girls have been known to call it his “skinny dog cut.”

Secondly, I should be embarrassed about this picture, but I’m not.  There’s a reason that my outfit has so much swag… Mother’s Day.  This picture was taken at the park at Salt Creek Beach on Mother’s Day 2016, and I’m exhausted.  At this point I’ve navigated three little ones (and Dozer) through an action packed “day” (meaning “week”) of making their Mom feel as special as possible, and I’ve surrendered.  The irony of it all, is that nothing I am doing/wearing in this pic was intended to be ironic.  It is exactly where I was at in that moment.

Dozer loves to hang with me regardless of what I’m wearing or doing, and I love to hang with him regardless of how ridiculous his current haircut is.  Happy National Dog Day, Dozer.
