By my calculation
Perhaps my reference to corn height was too obscure.
I wasn’t meaning any implication about pachyderm line-of-sight as expressed in the musical Oklahoma. (I’m not likely to quote anything from any Musical.) Instead I was referencing a familiar saying about corn being “Knee high by the 4th of July”. Thinking about it though, different growers in different latitudes probably have different sayings. The said saying applies well to Colorado and probably to a lot of Midwestern states, but may be less well-known farther north or south.

We were wearing the wooly look
…but we let Henry go too long without a trip to the groomer. They couldn’t get down into that mess of fur to give him a trim. They had to shave him and start over.
Annie on the other hand has silky hair. They combed her out. She got a wash and a trim.
Now Henry looks like a Saluki
…and Annie is our little wooly bear.
