Summer Shave
Teke, a seven year-old half Chow / half shar-pei mix, enjoys his summer shave down by Amy Karr at the The Fenton Towne Clipper Wednesday afternoon. "We shave during the summer because of the heat. It's like wearing a fur coat, " said Teke's owner, Elaine Gramke of Fenton, who says Teke's hair is shaved during the summer after Teke would gain weight in the summer because he would not be as active due to the heat. As summer approaches more dogs are coming in for the shorter cuts to cool them down.
