Well if I ain't just kicking myself HARD in the butt! What a total IDIOT I was for not coming here and reading all these posts FIRST! I just picked up my baby from PetSmart about an hour ago and I can tell you the minute I saw him through the window...the VERY FIRST words out of my mouth to my husband were, "OH MY GOD......NEVERRRR AGAIN!!!!!!!!!". My baby went from a beautiful little Yorkie (that needed a haircut, lol) to a CHOPPED UP/SUPER DUPER SHORT looking Schnauzer!! I cannot EVEN believe it! I feel like I left my cute little baby there and came back home with someones Schnauzer!!!!! I almost started crying!! I am just sick to death about this.
My husband and I were EXTREMELY specific on EXACTLY what we wanted done with him. We even brought in THREE pictures for her to go by!! While my husband was holding him, I even took (with my own hands!!) the parts of his hair that I wanted "TRIMMED". I mean I honestly COULD NOT IMAGINE having been more SPECIFIC!!
The whole reason we took him to PetSmart was because of the whole "being able to watch through the window" thing........STUPID. The "groomer" told me that she wouldn't be starting on him for a while because she still had some work to do on a Cocker Spaniel, so my husband and I left to run up to his work and we were gone for all of TWENTY MINUTES and when we came back she had already started the CHOPPING. I swear I almost lost it completely right there in PetSmart!!
Needless to say I will NEVER AGAIN in my life take another animal of mine to that place. After being as specific as I was, and I STILL got exactly OPPOSIT of what I wanted. I even SPECIFICALLY told her, "I DO NOT want him to come out looking like a Schnauzer". And thats EXACTLY what I got!! For (right at) $40 dollars I could have gotten a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better job done on him SOMEWHERE ELSE! And I will next time. Although since this was his VERY FIRST hair cut EVER, I am pretty much TRAUMATIZED about getting his hair cut again. Don't know what I'm going to do..
BTW, Does anyone know about how long it takes for some of the hair to start growing back? I can't stand it!!!!!
P.S.- I have posted before and after pictures so that you can actually SEE what they did to my poor little baby!! The before pictures were taken, literally, 30 minutes before I took him to get groomed. And the after pictures were taken about 30 minutes ago. It is so hard for me to even look at the before pictures now! Just look at that precious, puffy little teddy bear face!!
