The conversation might run something like this.
Chloe: "Hi mom, so glad you're home. I need a haircut."
Me: "Chloe, I'm so sorry. Things have been so busy with looking for assisted living facilities for mom & stepfather. I really know you desperately need a haircut. When I came home this afternoon, you greeted me with one of my wool socks in you mouth instead of your flat fox squeaky toy."
Chloe: "My I feel sheepish. I thought something was a bit off. I couldn't find the squeaker, and it tasted like a sheep with toe jam. Can you please pencil me in for a full shave?"
Chloe: "Aah, that's better, found the squeaky and it tastes like my drool-still waiting for that haircut mom."
Poor Chloe (and poor you, not looking forward to having to do that for my parents). If it helps any, Apollo has only JUST started shedding......
