BB, I'll bet that if you took this fine looking animal to a groomer at "PetSmart" or a similar big box store that has dog salon services and paid for a nice shampoo, clip and shape-up, your friend would never ever ask for a favor again.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Now if I could just get him to sit still for a manicure, all would be good.
