Buckles by David Gilbert for March 13, 2024

A born hairdresser…..

Somebody call the ASPCA!

A poodle cut! Someone called this yesterday!

Intervened a bit too late, Jill!

Buckles is going to have to hide under the bed for the next 6 weeks.

Poor Buckles, he knew the visions of doom were accurate.

destroyed Flea’s home

Many years ago I found an abandoned Sheltie cowering in the culvert under my driveway. She was so thin you could see her ribs, and huge hunks of her fur were missing. I took her to the vet who diagnosed her with the treatable form of mange, but he had to shave her down to bare skin. When he brought her out, she looked so embarassed. I went to the pet store to get her a sweater to help keep her warm. She loved her sweater! She eventually grew out a beautiful sable and white coat of fur and became one of the sweetest, most loyal dogs ever to share my life.

We’ve all been here, with the same choices: Hold your head up and live with it – Go in hiding for a few weeks – Adopt the ever trending buzz cut. (Bonus one: Use those scissors on the hairdresser, in ways not approved by it’s users manual)

Oh, poor Buckles!

No, Christina, you’ve done enough damage today.

Oh, Buckles! Those eyes!

I want to cry right along side you, Buckles.

Jill!

Time to buy Buckles a new coat, to preserve what is left of his poor dignity…and fur :-((

Well, it’s symmetrical and there’s no blood so-o-o.. he’s just not a poodle!

!!!!! DAVID !!!! you are testing the patients of the admirers of the precious Buckles , I pray that you can rectify this and fast !! : (

Maybe you’ll start supervising her now. Poor Buckles…check for any cuts she might have inflicted on him with these scissors, which she shouldn’t have had in the first place!!!

Christina is so cute!

Still, I’m impressed at Buckles for not resisting.

That’s why kids are never allowed scissors. Why did she give him a poodle cut?

When my child was little, she got up early and quietly one day and found some scissors. She had waist length hair. She cut her bangs to the scalp in places, cut large chunks off here and there, trimmed the dog, and also found a marker. I had new, very good furniture. She was about three. I asked her why she wrote on my new furniture with the marker, and she said she didn’t do it. I pointed out that she had signed her name on a white dining room chair. Then I had to figure out how to both keep her hair long and make it look decent, since her pictures were being taken at day care the next day. She also gave a Barbie doll a hair cute, and a stuffie, too. Considering her age, she actually did pretty well.

“B U C K L E S” …… You poor Boy ….. I hope you’ve got those winter sweaters handy ……… :/

Oh Buckles. That’s harsh

Maybe a little adult supervision is in order…could have prevented this quite easily.
