I now know that I need to groom him myself. I am still in shock over all of this and you can tell that he isn't taking it well himself. When we got home I put him out in the backyard to run around with my kids and he just sat their howling. I brought him in and just sat with him on my lap and just kept staring at him getting more and more angry and this dumb lady.
I'm even more upset that his black is gone, althought I knew it when I saw all the gray I was hoping it would come back. I'll love him to death no matter what color he is, but that's it for us and groomers. I'll wait for the coat to grow back and just maintain it myself. He is calmer and more comfortable with me at home anyhow.
My kids were trying to comfort me (8 and 6) saying "mom it doesn't look that bad, it will grow back" although they know he looks horrible they were trying to make me feel better because they saw how upset I was.
It's a lesson I have learned and something my stevie will never go through again.
