| They nicked Coco's ear!!! Coco got groomed today and they nicked his ear. I'm am very sad for him. It was an accident. The man said he bled alot and put some stuff on it. He was very honest with me and did not try to hide it at all. He told me as soon as I walked in. Of corse the young lady that did him was there and apologized so many times. They only charged me for Pebbles haircut, not Coco's. I don't know why they have to go so close to the ears. Next time I will make sure I tell them to leave some on. They are soooo tired right now. They are sleeping, they had a busy day. My daughter will post some pictures of how cute they look, and a picture of Coco's ear. I have a HUGE know in my stomach right now. They really did a great job, they both look great. With Trixie getting spayed tomorrow and this with Coco I'm sick to my stomach.

| Aww...I hope Coco is doing okay now. Its always hard when our babies get hurt. Its a good thing the man tell you about it as soon as you got there and the groomer apologizes. I am sure they will be more careful the next time round. I will also be praying for Trixie tomorrow.

| Better to admit it then to try and cover it up. I'm sure Coco will be fine. Sounds like a honest mistake. |

| I have pictures of their haircuts in my album and the nic in Coco's ear. I am just worried about infection. Could I put antibiotic on it?

| I'm sorry they nicked your Coco's ear today. That was nice that they apologized, both of them. But still I like you would feel so bad for Coco. I'm pretty sure you can put antibiotic cream on their cuts, but I would check with someone else before doing that. I will keep your Trixie in my prayers for her spay surgery tomorrow. I'm sure she will be fine. The've had a busy day like you said and YOU have had a stressfull day. I think you need to have a drink. If you don't drink, have some ice cream or chocolate, that makes us feel better too.

| Wow, I've knicked ears before, but nothing like that. I would definitely put some triple antibiotic on it. He looks adorable! She did an excellent job on his face. I wish I could get mine to look that good!

| I just now took a look at the picture of the "nick" in Coco's ear today. OMGosh, that looks like a gash and not a nick. Feel Better Soon, Coco.

| It might not hurt to take little Coco to the vet to just be careful of any infection getting started. I know they say to trim the ears down like a third of the way but I have always left Kayla's long and let the hair hang over the ears. I think they look darling like that too. Hope that baby gets to feeling better. Poor little thing. You know that had to hurt and will be really sore. Like everyone said, at least they were honest with you, I guess that counts for something. Give that baby hugs and hope he feels better soon. |

| Aww, hope he is ok. Even groomers make mistakes though, even though he did get too close to the ear. At least he had the decency to tell you about it - I'm sure they'd be a lot careful next time! xXx

| Just saw the cut in your album. Poor little baby. I would definitely put antibiotic ointment on it. And at least they did tell you. I hate to see it happen, but having them come right out and tell you first thing must mean that it bothered them as well. |

| Coco's ear looks better today. It is not red at all last night it was red, like sore. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. He is such a good boy, I just can't see how they got his ear. He never moves or anything when I trim him up. I just think they were careless. I understand accidents happen. You bet next time I will make sure I tell them to leave some hair on their ears. I fully checked his whole body, Pebby too and there wasn't 1 mark so I do believe the girl jut wasn't paying close enough attention. She was very sweet and really apologized and pet him and told him she was sorry. LittleTrixie is at the vet getting spayed right now Mommy is VERY nervous!!!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Glad Coco's doing better, but I really can't believe they charged you for either haircut. I wouldn't go back to that place. Hope everything goes good with Trixie's spay!
