Heather had come to stay with me when she was 18, and we ended up rescuing a couple of dogs. One of them was this amazing mix that looked like a cross between a pit bull and a Dalmatian. We thought, “What’s the best way to make this dog even more adorable?” shave its hair, of course. I’m not sure who thought this was a good idea, but it quickly became a delirious afternoon of fur flying everywhere.
Heather was determined to turn this dog into a Dalmatian no matter what, even if it meant shaving every bit of fur to make it happen. The dog didn’t like the clippers at all and was growling through the whole ordeal. Still, there we were, clipping this dogs hair, determined to make it look like a Dalmatian.
Finally, we were so delirious and nervous that the dog was going to bite one of us that we started chanting: “Pitbull, Dalmatian, Pitbull, Dalmatian!” and laughing so hard we could barely breathe. It was like one minute we had a pit bull, the next we had a Dalmatian, and the whole thing was a hilarious, furry, hot mess.
Maybe you had to be there to get how funny it was… but we laughed so hard we cried.
