So, I took Howie to get groomed this weekend (it was spur of the moment thing, since my BF kept saying Howie needed a cut). To make a long story short, they said he was too badly matted on his sides and legs and it would be too much on him to comb out the mats (his skin would be irritated, etc.). So, they said the only thing to do was shave it and insisted his next coat would come in a lot better. My boyfriend also just convinced me to do it since it would be in Howie's best interest so he didn't have to have his hair pulled at, or his mats getting worse. I was EXTREMELY upset. I was just PMing Stedman's mom about Howie cut, and then now it came down to this.
Has anyone ever had to have their baby shaved? I'm hoping it doesn't take too long for his coat to grow in. They said to have it the length I came in with, it would take 2-3 months. But, I don't want it that long, so I'm hoping not more than 2 months. That's still a long time.
