Bwahahaha! Before I saw the pics I guessed from your "not what I expected" that he turned into a poodle, lol. It really is a pretty dog, though! Big and muscular, not like a regular poodle.

But I suppose it does work on at least one level. Nervous would enjoy styling his hair, just like he did with the mohawk.

Yeah, I think that's the only thing that might make it work. I mean maybe it's just a stray he styles like a poodle, lol. You could go as far as to substitute a black wolf for Wheezy at first, then show how Nervous styled the dog's hair into this wonderful poodle look. ;)
