Poor Murfi.....she will grow to like it in the heat one would think. Unless.....she figures she can stay inside with A/C all the time. LOL!

That last response should have been “pro” haircut. She stays out until mid day and then gets to go back out about 6PM when I get home. When it is really hot this summer, we will take her to the lake and let her swim. She LOVES the water.
