| Okay, what's wrong with me? Well I just went and picked Gleason up at the groomers from his first big boy haircut and they told me he did wonderful and he was just beautiful but it took everything in me to keep from crying. I knew he would come back looking all grown up but I didn't realize how it would affect me. All his baby curls were gone and he just doesn't look like a puppy anymore. I know I am just being silly but I didn't realize he would look SO grown up, he's just 8 months old. I know I am just being silly because I knew he wouldn't come back with his baby curls in tact. I guess I should have waited a little longer to get him groomed but I really did think I was ready. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, you poor thing. I had that happen with my skin baby. He went from curls to a military haircut. I could have died. Show us some before and after pics. Remember he's still a baby!

| There's nothing wrong with you. I did the same thing the first time my skin kids got haircuts. It's just a phase of their life that they've outgrown, and it's hard for us Mommies to let them grow up! Hugs!! |

| OH NO! I think MOST of us on here had the EXACT feeling you are having after the first grooming! When I went to pick up my boys I barely recognized them!! My fletch went from black to silver with ONE grooming!!! I was almost in TEARS! They were 11 months old and did not look like my babies anymore, but like little gentlemen! Don't worry you get used to it!!

| Funny as it may sound...my HUBBY freaked more than I did after Tino got his first groomer cut! I was just so happy to see him (it was the longest I had ever been away from him). Hubby was like "what happened to our baby???? He looks so grown up!!!".

| Thanks for the encouragement. At least I know I'm not alone. I'm sure I'll get used to it and will probably think its cute later on. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself. At least I took a bunch of photos this weekend. Thanks again. |

| That happened to me the first time Madison got her hair cut! I picked her up from the groomer and thought she wasn't my dog! It took me quite a few days to get used to it...she just didnt look like the little puppy anymore! But now I love it
