"Look a new Simon!"

The other day I took Simon to the groomers because his coat is just so thick and gets easily matted. Unfortunately for him, having two kids leaves me little time and energy to keep it looking nice. (It also makes him look thinner and he needs all the help he can get.) When I picked him up and brought him home Zachary asked me "Who's that?" and pointed at Simon. Totally didn't recognize him. Which is funny because I've had Simon shaved a number of times. After he realized it was in fact Simon he kept saying, "Look a new Simon!" I found it humorous so I thought I'd share some before and after pictures of our sweet doggie. In the first picture (where his hair is long) it was spring of last year so that is why the grass looks so nice a green. His hair is also brushed and looks quite nice!
