Well, Tila went to the groomer on Thursday. I was anxious the whole time she was there, I was hoping for the best. The groomer charged me $45, because I wasn't getting the yorkie cut and I wanted it shorter because it's too hot for her to have her hair long this summer. She said since she would have to use the buzzer thing I believe that it would be $45 instead of the $30 she first said. Fine. I called her once to set up the appt. and then once a day after to ask what the yorkie cut was and tell her once again that I wanted it shorter on her body, the pads of her feet done, and around her eye's and not to touch the top of her head because I wanted it to grow for a future top knot. I told her twice before Tila's appt. that her ears needed to be trimmed and shaved because they were flopping a little and may be getting a little heavy. I also told my parents who were dropping her off for me, to tell the groomer what I wanted once again. The groomer said, "Oh, yeah I know she's been calling." What?! I talked to her twice. So Tila comes home and the groomer cut her eyebrows a bit, her body is cut all choppy and just looks horrible. AND, AND she didn't even touch her ears!!!!! And the hair on her neck was still quite fluffy.The only good thing she did was around her eyes. I was soooo sad. I went to the city today and got myself one of those little trimmers and did her ears myself, I've never groomed a yorkie and have never done ears, but she looks TONS better. Oh, where oh, where are all the good groomers gone? I'll post pics tomorrow of what I did to her ears.
