Seems like Tristan has an Emo Swoosh for the forseeabke future, it's set itself.

He's gone Super Saiyan

I was attempting to trim Tristan's mohawk (1st picture, "before") so it wouldn't fall over his eye. I couldn't get it right.

When I was done, I took Tris to the grass to roll off any loose hair and shake out the wiggles, as usual.

HE ROLLED HIS MOHAWK OFF!?

I am so sorry, folks, I just couldn't get it right and I do need his hair out of his eyes right now. It's a good time for Tristan to have less hair anyway, with the continuing heat wave and burr season coming up next month. We'll start over from scratch; we've done it before!

You know it's wimdy when even Tristan's whiskers are flying.

Does Tristan grow that little white mohawk naturally, or do you have him groomed to emphasize it?

Oh I absolutely groom him to emphasize the skunk streak mohawk! (post about clipping Tristan's head)

When Tristan first arrived, he had a 4-month-old's show cocker coat. The skirt obviously couldn't stay and the bouffant was silly.

But would you look at that perfect mohawk? I only intended to keep it briefly, but I love it too much to remove it for long.

It... took some time to get it right...

... when it goes wrong, it's WRONG...

Occasionally I have to clip it off, but so far I have been able to let it grow back out every time.

And when it's right, it's perfect.

I have set aside this moment in time for

Tristan Hair and Eye Swooning

(Because Tristan requested to earn some treats, and Posing for Pictures was the first thing that came to mind.)

Tristan's little hairdo is so cute and so funny and I love it

Thank you! I love it too 😊 I apologize for taking so long to answer your ask. I was collecting pics and... well.

Here are some of Tristan's very best whipped cream topping pics, 2018-2023:
