Hi there,

I'm sure your baby boy isn't ugly. You're just not used to seeing him with such short hair, is all. You'll get used to it.

I've had a bad grooming experience, too. this past June, I took Pixel in for a trim. Her hair was a little over 3 inches long then - -gorgeous, but too much for the summer heat. I told the groomer I wanted her hair shorter for the summer; obviously my definition of shorter wasn't the same as the groomer's. My precious baby was pretty much buzzed when she came back to me! She was in what I think was a schnauzer cut -- about a quarter inch hair on her body and a little more around the face, particularly around her muzzle. I didn't even recognize her at first! Pictures attached.

It took a good 3-4 months for her hair to grow back to a 2-inch length, but she was still my little baby. She was still the little sweetheart that she always was. Her hair was just very short, that's all. I bought her a little sweater for indoors when the air conditioning was on; she looked adorable in that. Believe me, you'll get used to it and his hair will grow back.
