I don't live with my mom, I just let her watch Chloe because my mom wanted to see her that day... I didn't expect to come back to see Chloe's hair chopped off into a mess. She hasn't bought Chloe for me or paid for any vet or grooming bills at all. This is why this is so upsetting because she is MY dog and to have her in a show coat was my wish and what I like. I don't show her but I like the look. I think I'm going to have to deal with this now and get her a puppy cut because right now, a short face and floor length body hair looks strange
It's also hurtful that my mom of all people would do this to me knowing that I was growing her hair and how much time and energy I spent on maintaining it. She also has not apologized yet.. and I doubt she will but I haven't spoken to her since she did this. |
Thanks for clarifying that. Now don't go off the rails and cut that floor length hair. While it will take awhile for the facial hair to grow in a good groomer can even out the face.
I think it is much better to deal with your Mom and start the convo with her about your gal. And btw your Mom should pay for any professional grooming to correct her mistakes.
I think I would want to understand why your Mom decided to cut the facial hair - what was she thinking? And quite frankly unless it was a sound medical reason - I would very strongly state that you had no right to do this and now you will need to pay to make the chop job you did somewhat better ie a pro groomer. I would also categorically state that she is never to do this AGAIN or if she can not abide by your rules she will never have private access to your dog again.
