Thanks everyone for your bad haircut pictures... they certainly did help! I never realized that dogs got badly hurt at the groomers. I feel fortunate that my guy just got a bad haircut. He doesn't seem to mind it too much now that a few hours have gone on. We took him for a walk a few hours ago and everytime we passed someone who stopped to pet him I felt the need to say, "He just got butchered at the groomers today! He doesn't normally look like this!"
Stedmans Mommy - I read your post after your Petsmart experience. Our dogs look like they could be siblings! The coloring and the faces are so similar. The way they did Stedmans face is the way they did Howie's face another time that I brought him in. That should've been the last time I went there.
The more I think about it, it seems to me that our babies are getting such bad haircuts because the groomers have to crank out the baths and haircuts so quickly. They can't dedicate the time to properly brushing them and combing out any tangles so they just shave them down. I had to wait for over 2 weeks to get an appointment just to get his hair cut.
My big concern now is his chewing and itching himself. He's doing it on his "private parts" and his legs. How do I get him to stop?? |
