My husband unexpectedly had the day off today so he thought that he would try to get Lucky in for her second grooming session since we adopted her in February. The only place that had any cancellations was Petco.
To give you a little background, Lucky had been shaved just prior to us adopting her and she looked ridiculous, not to mention she was very cold since that was February and we live in Wisconsin. Her hair finally grew long enough for us to have her groomed in June, at which time we took her to Petco. We explained the groomer that we wanted to grow her her long enough for a topknot so that we could keep it out of her eyes. So what did they do? They cut all of the hair that you would pull into a topknot incredibly short!
Anyway, after six months, Lucky's hair finally grew to a nice length and she looked adorable. We thought we'd give Petco another chance today, since they have several groomers there. We gave her new groomer specific instructions that we wanted a top knot and to keep growing her hair out. Well, my husband just called and told me that they got the top knot right this time, but they nearly shaved her body!
We do brush her fairly regularly and we had gotten most of the matts out of her before today except for one near the top of her back where we apply her Frontline flea medication. There was no reason for this! Now poor Lucky will freeze all winter!
