IF you do anything at all, I would keep it to just a bath and a nail trim.... possibly even a hiney trim. DO NOT get this dog groomed without permission from the owners. If someone that was babysitting my Tatum did that without permission, I would be pissed. What if you took it to the groomer and something happened? Anything from the dog getting injured or even just a really horrible haircut that the owners ended up hating? I would not want that on my conscience. I have to speak from the human standpoint now..... a neighbor of mine that I trusted was babysitting my 11 month old daughter (many years ago) and took it upon herself to "trim her bangs". Of course she didn't take into account that my daughter's hair was very wavy and really bounced up when dry. Her bangs were SO short..... I was livid. I think I would not be happy either if someone took it upon themselves to make significant changes with my dog either. Just my 2 cents!
