LOL, I'll bet every Yorkie owner on YT clicks on that headline.

It broke our hearts, but Jillie's matting had just gotten so bad that her first trip to the groomers was a complete shearing. She was fine on her back, but starting at the sides she looked like she had dreadlocks.

In addition to puppy hair being tough to manage, we made the mistake of bathing her the first couple times before making sure all the mats were out. I since learned that's a no no. And the groomer chewed me out for not brushing more, too. She did a pretty good job, but I was a little disappointed she trimmed the hair on the bridge of her nose. I guess I wasn't clear that I wanted the face left alone. Oh well, it'll grow back.

The good news is the groomer said she did very well in the grooming. She even said she has a lot of confidence. That's my girl!

So here she is, in the buff just as our Alaska winter sets in
