When I went to a groomer yesterday, who use to groom my previous yorkie and I really liked, I verbalized to her and gave her the "Petey Haircut Instructions" sheet which I had made up after a previous grooming experience where I had asked the groomer not to cut the topknot, which she cut into that visor thing anyway, which then basically sticks straight out of his forehead and hangs in his eyes within a week of being groomed. I had almost gotten his topknot all grown out and back to normal after dealing with his horrible hair and not much you can do with it for the past 3 months. His hair stays so much better when it is able to all be pulled up into the topknot instead of hairs going every which way.
Anyway, I was shocked when I picked Petey up from the groomer yesterday and saw how he was groomed. His bangs were cut AGAIN and now also in between his eyes on the bridge of his nose was cut!!!
I tried to stay calm. When I asked her why she did that, she said she had misread the instructions and that she only cut the bangs "just a little bit"! When I asked her why she cut between the eyes, she said she cut there because the hair was poking him in the eyes. Well it is nothing like what is going to be poking him now when they are growing out!
His body, ears, legs and everything else was fine. The instructions for his face were as follows, along with a picture of how he should look. Plus I told her in addition to the instruction sheet.
FACE – Please DO NOT cut around the eyes. Leave topknot, but trim topknot shorter. Cut face short on sides.
Does it really seem that confusing?
The one picture is how he is suppose to look and how he looked before he got groomed with his topknot almost back to normal. The 2nd two pictures are how he looked after coming home from the groomer yesterday. His face is butchered! So mad!!!!
