Rat Ape Hybrid

We shave Ranga for 3 reasons (my justification):

1. He goes outside and it's 111 and he's usually wearing a bear coat

2. We have Ranga tumbleweeds overtaking our house.
3. If his hair gets longer than a certain length, he isn't smart enough to deal with it, and gets poop matted in his hair pants and we have to cut it off of him. I'm sick of doing this.
