| Bella in for her first grooming! I just got back from dropping Bella off at the groomer's for her first haircut. I'll post a review, and before and after photos after we get her back. We told them to do a puppy cut face, short hair on the body, and long on the legs (if they don't have to be shaved due to matting). I told my partner that she'll probably come back with her whole body shaved down to the skin and a mohawk on the top of her head, LOL . My partner said that if Bella gets a bad haircut, he'll hold down the groomer and give her the same haircut. Please pray for a good haircut for little Bella. |

| Fortunately, the groomer said that since Bella is a puppy, they will keep her there the shortest time possible, and we may be able to pick her up in 2 hours. We left her food and her favorite toys, and they said they would give her water and potty her as needed. I'm not too worried. I've read horror stories about first haircuts and seen some photos of bad haircuts, so I expect the best (because this is a reputable groomer with lots of experience), but I'm prepared for the worst. |

| She was at the groomer's for 4 hours, and they put a little bow in her hair, and my partner says she looks adorable, but he's afraid Bella will pull the bow out before I get a chance to see it or photograph it. The groomers said that she was a sweetie. I'm heading home now, so pictures will be coming soon! |

YT 1000 Club Member | I just took all three of my guys to the Groomer yesterday $$$ ! Since I take mine out Hunting and into rough areas so often, I have them all clipped to a #7 body (about 1/4" length) through the Summer months. They get LOTS of petting. That new growth coat is SO slick and petable !

| How adorable! Can't wait to see! Glad she was such a good girl, too! It's always nerve racking to anticipate how they will be when they go for their haircuts as puppies! Our groomer told us to wait until Jack can no longer see and then bring him lolol. I don't know how much longer he can wait though...he's starting to pant in this 95 degree weather and all his fluff might be too much for his reputation as a cool dude. lolol.

| Here she is, Miss America!!! I just got the before and after pictures uploaded, and I have to say that I am very pleased with my groomer!!! I thought she looked beautiful before, but man, what a transformation! Unfortunately, she got her pink bow off before I could take her picture, so now she looks like she has a topknot, but even so, she's spectacular! What amazes me the most is her color transformation. After they cut off her black hair, she was a beautiful silver/gray underneath. For all of you living in east-central Illinois, I got her hair cut at Pampered Pet Grooming in Champaign, Illinois. The workers were fawning all over her and taking their own pictures, and they said that she was a good little girl during the whole procedure. That's amazing to me, because she will hardly let me brush her, LOL! Without further ado, here are her before and after photos... |
