Cowlick

Learned something new today: what appears to be too close a shave on my pup’s leg is actually called cowlick.

Turns out it’s a term used to describe hair growth in different directions. When given a short summer cut, it becomes more apparent.

Interestingly enough, my body hair also grows in bidirectional swirls on my thighs and arms.

There’s something oddly comforting about realizing we’re not so different from our dogs—little swirls and all. Just nature doing its thing.

Except, of course, I’m nowhere nearly as cute as him! 😍
