I think its so nice that your bf thought enough to try. He found something that he knew was important to you, Chase, and tried to do something nice for him and you, getting him groomed. Sometimes its the thought more than the actual results that should be appreciated. Chase will care less that he looks like a lion as long as he still gets loving
and I would thank bf a lot for the thought even if i asked him to never get him groomed without consent again
Hope Chase grows back real quick for you both!
