New Look?
Dear Frankie,
At the dog groomer last week, Greta, a schnauzer, had a hairdo that rocked.
The hair on the top of her head was spiked with gel, and the hair on her sides was shaved into stripes.
My mom asked the groomer, “What’s with the haircut?”
The groomer said, “Her mom’s a biker.”
My mom drives a Mini Cooper.
Do you think she would let me get a haircut like Greta’s? I’m a poodle.
Rosalyn
Dear Rosalyn.
I doubt it. A Mini Cooper is a cute, feminine kind of car. Women who are feminine in style tend to like pale colors, ruffles, and bows. So, I think she would choose a traditional poodle cut for you.
On the bright side, although the haircut may be out, riding a motorcycle in the winter and on rainy days will be, too.
Best, Frankie
