Awww, poor Abbey! How awful! I have Max shaved down all the time (esp. for summer)...if she has the kind of coat he's got, they end up feeling like a little seal they're so silky-soft! I love it when he first gets done. Madison on the other hand has not such nice hair, so he can't get shaved like that...and the poor little guy; he's the one who gets matted so badly

Hopefully your BF won't be taking her wherever he walks her anytime soon!
