The Amazing Shrinking Nellie

Nellie got her haircut yesterday.

Sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with the language barrier. So when the groomer asked "shot?" I assumed she couldn't really mean that and she must mean "short". Generally I try to define "short" through various hand gestures, pointing, and then repeating original hand gestures (as if you can clarify gestures). Well, yesterday I just went with it and replied "Ano" (yes).

When I brought her home, Lydia's response was "Nellie is so small!" She's really thrown off by it, because this morning she went and peered in Nellie's cage asking "Is Nellie still small? For how long? For ten more minutes?"

This is giving me an idea. If I shave my head, will I appear as if I've lost 1/4 of my body weight? I do know a good groomer who apparently has a magical clippers...
