My Dog Shaved My Head!š¶š¤£
It sounds impossible, even absurdābut I swear, my dog shaved my head. I didnāt plan it. I didnāt ask for it. It just⦠happened. If you think dogs are all slobbery kisses and wagging tails, think again. Mine, a mischievous little Boston Terrier named Benny, is a tiny whirlwind of chaos wrapped in black-and-white fur. And heās clever. Too clever.
It all started on a lazy Saturday morning. I was lounging on the couch, sipping coffee, half-watching a rerun of a sitcom while scrolling through my phone. Benny, meanwhile, was unusually quiet. That shouldāve been the first red flag. With Benny, silence usually means one of two things: heās asleep or heās up to something. And Benny wasnāt asleep.
I had recently purchased a cordless electric shaver. It was sleek, silver, and easy to useāperfect for trimming my beard or cleaning up my neckline. Iād left it charging on the bathroom counter the night before. Benny had watched me use it once or twice, curious as always. I didnāt think anything of it. After all, he was just a dog.
That morning, Benny trotted out of the bathroom with the shaver in his mouth. I saw him and laughed, thinking it was just another one of his toy-stealing habits. He likes to swipe shoes, socks, and once even managed to drag a whole pillow into his crate. But this time, instead of running away with his prize, Benny jumped right onto the couch⦠and straight onto my chest.
Before I could react, he dropped the shaverāstill buzzingāfrom his mouth and somehow pawed the switch to full power. The thing landed on my head, blade-first. In a flash of noise, fur, and panic, I felt a strange vibration on my scalp and then⦠nothing. He had managed to buzz a clean path right down the center of my hair.
I jumped up, startled, and Benny leapt down, tail wagging like heād just won an award. I rushed to the mirror, only to find a giant, bald strip running through my hair like a landing strip. It was jagged and uneven, but unmistakably bald. I stood there in shock, staring at myself as Benny sat proudly behind me, clearly admiring his work.
There was no saving the haircut. I tried to even it out, but Iām no barber. Eventually, I had to shave the whole thing off. My once shaggy head was now smooth and shiny. And Benny? He strutted around the house like he was a celebrity stylist. I half expected him to start handing out business cards.
Of course, I couldnāt stay mad at him. I mean, how could I? Every time I looked at my reflection and remembered how it happened, I burst into laughter. Friends didnāt believe the story until I showed them the picturesāme, bald as a cue ball, and Benny proudly perched beside the shaver, looking smug.
After that, Benny became something of a legend in my friend group. They call him āBarber Bennyā now. Some even joke about booking appointments. And to be honest, the buzzed look isnāt that bad. Itās low-maintenance, and now I donāt have to worry about bad hair days. All thanks to my mischievous little dog.
So yesāmy dog shaved my head. Not on purpose, probably. Or maybe it was. With Benny, itās hard to say. But one thingās for sure: life with him is never boring. He keeps me on my toesāand sometimes takes a little off the top.
