I’m sure most of us don’t want our picture taken while we are naked. Well, maybe you don’t mind it, but I sure don’t want all this…uh, glowing skin captured forever in a photograph. However, I took my best friend’s picture while she was almost naked and she wasn’t very happy about it. What she doesn’t know, is that I’m also posting it on my blog for you to see.
Bella’s Appointment With My Scissors
If you didn’t already know that Bella is my best friend, I guess you know it now. Regardless of our friendship, Bella doesn’t like me taking her picture and isn’t quite as tolerant as my photogenic daughter or mother. So when she sees the camera, Bella starts wiggling around A LOT. Obviously, that makes it hard to capture a great shot of her.
Even though it is tough, I keep on trying to take Bella’s photo and sometimes really get some great expressions on her face.
Let me tell you what Bella was saying during our little photo shoot…I mean, what Bella was thinking…
“No! I don’t want my picture taken because you’ve cut off just about all my fur and I’m naked!”
Bella, you’re not naked! I enjoyed cutting and shaping your fur to get you all ready for summer. You are so soft and you have to admit, you feel refreshed after that great bath Alyssa gave you with her wonderfully smelling sensitive shampoo. And Bella, you look so adorably cute.
“I don’t have to admit anything. Do you really think I look cute?”
Oh my goodness, yes!!! You are the cutest dog in the whole world! You know what else? I love that your fur is the same color as my hair. We actually match kinda like twins, except that you’re a dog and I’m a woman. You know what I mean.
“Golly gee! Aww shucks! Thank you! Thank you! I am glad that you groom me instead of taking me somewhere and dropping me off with all those other dogs. It is so relaxing having you cut my fur and that’s why I always fall asleep while you’re doing it. I can tell that you love me by the way you take such great care of me. I love you a whole bunch.”
I love you too, Bella. Thank you for being my best friend and keeping me company all the time.

Your dog is way too cute. My heart melted.
The Redhead Riter says
Thank you!!!
Cindi says
You dog is so sweet! I have a best friend too, named lindy. She listens and is very sympathetic and just so damn cute.
The Redhead Riter says
Thank you! What kind of dog do you have, Cindi?
Joan says
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Bella, you are soooooooooooooo cute! And your summer haircut is adorable! I wonder if I came over to your house if “Granny” would cut my hair too for summer! On second thought, your short haircut looks better on you, Bella, then it would look on me! And I certainly wouldn’t want “Granny” taking almost naked pictures of me! 🙂
The Redhead Riter says
I would be happy to cut your hair! Come on over! I will take pics and put them on my blog! LOL
Joan says
Redhead Riter, like heck I’m going to come over to your house and let you cut my hair and take pictures of me and put it on your blog! LOL
The Redhead Riter says
You’re such a fuddy duddy! I give great hair cuts and my readers would love to see your new hairdo when I’m done with you. (wicked evil grin)
Joan says
Yes, I’m sure they would! Unfortunately, I’m not going to give you a chance to show off your handy work with the scissors! 🙂
The Redhead Riter says
You have become so boring lately! What is wrong with you?!! Don’t you trust me? LOL
Skip_D says
Bella, you are so adorable, naked or not! Those are wonderful photos! And don’t think of it as ‘naked.’ with such fine, artistic photos, think of it as ‘nude’ instead! Of course, if you’re an artist’s model, & posing nude, you should be well paid for your poses! ;D
Joan, I’d trust Red to cut my hair. I’d even let her photograph me before & after! However, I draw the line at my beard. Nobody but me gets their hands on my beard! Well, not with scissors, anyway! 😀
The Redhead Riter says
Oh boy, Skip.
1. Naked or nude…I’m not posing no matter how much $$$ they paid. LOL 😛
2. Awwww…thank you for trusting me to cut your hair! 😉
3. You wouldn’t trust me with your beard! I’ve never cut off more hair than the person wanted cut off. 🙁
4. “Well, not with scissors, anyway!” *GASP* I’m not even going there. 😀

After seeing Bella’s haircut, which looks dazzling, I’m wondering if I’m not due for a shearing? Nah, I think I’ll wait a few more years to go back to my Halle Berry doo. The look in Bella’s eyes says you’re her best friend too, even if she feels a little like a victim at the moment. Thank goodness for forgiving BFF’s…
The Redhead Riter says
LOL Yes, she is forgiving.
mom says
Well, I am sure I would not like that “do” and we did not see your handy work? Uh huh!!! Poor little Bella. I bet you scalped her just like the Indians did! Joan, do not let her get those scissors on your nog!! She is not a professional hair dresser! Trust me! LOL
The Redhead Riter says
What the heck! I give great hair cuts and I’ve always cut everyone’s hair exactly the way they wanted it. Just because I’m not professional, doesn’t mean I don’t have skills. As I recall, I’ve even trimmed the back of your hair many times. Ha! 😛
Joan, I’m going over to Mom’s tonight to shave her head while she sleeps. LOL
Lisa says
How could anyone not just love Bella? So, so adorable! How old is Bella now?
The Redhead Riter says
Thank you! Bella will be 3 this year. Woohoo!
