My mom chopped off Chloe's show coat I am so furious right now that I need to talk about this... :mad: I have been growing Chloe's hair for almost 2 years now and my mom has always complained that SHE doesn't like it. Today, I left Chloe with my mom and when I came back I find all her beautiful hair CHOPPED OFF!!!!!! :mad: She even cut it crooked! Her chin is so short now and half of it is round, the other half is square. I don't know what to do now but I am so furious with all of this. I don't even know how to fix this cut and I'm sitting here looking at Chloe and not liking what she looks like at all. |

Oh dear me what a dreadfull thing to have happen. Were you actively showing her - or just wanted to keep her in a long coat? I would even out the chin hair - even out the cut all around her body - then have a very long discussion with your Mom. Yorkies don't shed so I am at a loss to see why your Mom does not like it? Maybe try to find out why from her point of view. But the lovely thing about hair is that it will grow back in and that un-solicited cut might even stimulate the hair to grow faster.... |
We had the opposite problem here. I cut Max's beard short and my father was mad at me. :D Take heart. Chloe's hair will grow back quickly and have a fresh look. I think Max's beard benefited from the big cut. Even out the unwanted cut and make sure Chloe knows you think she is beautiful. |
Wow your mum is way out of order. It isn't her business to change your decisions with your dog. Does she do this sort of thing often? I wouldn't be talking to her for some time. She should pay for groomers to fix the bad cut. |
I'd warn mom she'd better sleep with one eye open cause you feel she in need of a new hair-doo herself. |
:mad: omg I'd be so furious. She had no right to do that. If you post pictures maybe we can help you fix it. All you really need is a pair of hair scissors and thinning shears, you can get both at Sally's. You might have to reteach her to accept grooming, if that's the case just brush her as usual and build up to a few snips. Make to tell her she's beautiful. I had Lola groomed by a groomer once, the cut was horrible, she blamed it on 8 month old Lola, and I had to reteach Lola to be groomed. |

lol never thought of that |
lol that sucks, at least less maintenance work now. |
Im sorry, I would be upset as well |
I cant even imagine how your feeling right now that your MOM cut your pups hair off!! I cut my own pups hair off and I was so mad at MYSELF. It started as a trim just to even her out and it just got shorter and shorter. I was trying to save money but ended up in tears, I was horrified. The good news is that it is growing back fast and Im happy to take a little break from all the brushing. Im sure your pups hair will grow back fast too. |
I second the option of giving your mom an unwanted haircut, but then I have one or two vengeful bones in my body. At very least, I would make her pay for this, and any other needed, groomer visits until it is back like it was. You might also let her read this thread until she realizes that she has no right, no reason and damn sure no talent to be the one to just arbitrarily go hacking into the hair of your dog or any damn one else. |
Now listen very closely what I say..... I would be absolutely FURIOUS that she had the audacity to mangle my little babys hair........but I want you to think about what I am going to say. That pups hair will grow back, and probably, in several years, you and your momma will be finding the humor in that little escapade..... And one of these days, although you absolutely can not see it now, one of these days, a very long time from now I pray, you will be sitting alone, (remembering the past and all the things that you two experienced), sitting and remembering your momma, WISHING you could dial the time clock back and have all those years with your momma again.....even the things she did that drove you absolutely ballastic....... Think of this as one of those crazy memories, file it away to be a warm and loving memory years from now....a memory that will actually make you smile..... |
I would be so pissed. I would never find the humor later. The hair will grow back. But why does you mom watch your dog?Because of work or school??? She was outta line. Mine would never watch my dog again. I dunno if you have that option. But a similar thing happened with my Daughter. Grandma..my wifes mom. use to watch my daughter. I brought her lunch I wanted her to eat. She would listen to they way I wanted he to eat and be raised. So she lost the privilege. I convinced my Wife to stay home and raise our daughter the way we wanted.My daughter is better for it. imo The reason I would find humor later is because she did something against my wishes. Not her dog. Not her decision. |

The hair will grow back, but her mom needs to learn to respect her choices too. |

Thank you all for the comments, at least I know I'm not wrong for being mad at what she did. What makes it even worse is that she never even apologized for what she did and she's actually quite happy with herself and how she made my dog look.. because SHE likes it. I'm so upset because for almost 2 years I was growing everything out all nicely and now it's ruined. :( |

Yes. And I do think it is okay to let mom know you will get over it, but you would like assurance that it won't happen again. If she gets defensive, giver her some time to think it over. |
Upsetting! Why was your Mom watching Chloe? |

OMG!!! Wouldnt you tho!! I miss my momma soooooooo much.....I would let her cut every hair off every dog I have here, hell shave the cat!! pluck feathers from the parakeet!!! even shave my OWN head, if only I could spend just one more day.....well maybe a month if I am going to give up all that hair!!! with that precious, kind, wonderful, loving soul! You just wont appreciate what is REALLY important in this event, until she is no longer with you...... Throw a fit, kick a tree, throw a tantrum, and then quietly kiss her on the forehead and leave it..... |
Your mom knew your preference and should have respected your wishes; her likes/dislikes though noted, do not give her the 'right' to just arbitrarily change something...Maybe take her out for lunch and express just how very important it is to you that she respect your choices and that when it comes to your little girl, absolutely nobody, no how is permitted to trim, clip, or bath her, period! I, too, was growing Piper's hair and expressly told groomer to leave the hair on her head long...When I went to pick her up, the hair on Piper's head had been chopped and I mean chopped--uneven, chunky, horrible (and everyone who saw her questioned her "do"). Probably a couple months passed and I took Piper to a different groomer, explained situation and requested bath only. Well, when I picked up my girl, I was stunned! She was clean and fresh, but somehow her hair looked longer than when I dropped her off...Turns out Tammy simply worked her expertise and evened-out the choppy and just "cleaned' Piper up in general. I was ecstatic! Find a fabulous groomer and I'll bet you'll be "over" your mom's goof-up in no time!! |

I say if you are an adult, not living with mom, and mom doesn't help pay for anything she has absolutely no right and she should apologize. Not only does it sound like she didn't respect your wishes, she doesn't respect you by not apologizing. |
How terrible, hope she realizes how this has effected you both. Hope Chloe wasn't stressed out over this. |
Nobody is saying "Hate" your mom. Stop talking to her. But by doing something against your wishes is wrong. I dont live my life the way my mom says I should. Missing your mom or not talking to her is off topic imo. Mine mother inlaw fed my kid garbage. So by not doing as I wishes she lost the chance to watch my child. I would do the same for my dogs. |

I found out that my mom had severe mental issues later in my life. I knew something wasn't right but no one ever addressed it. I hope this isn't an ongoing thing with her. |
I would simply tell mom that her terrier privileges are now revolked. Do not leave your dog with her, do not let her socialize with the dog, nothing if it can be avoided. She needs to learn respect. |

I had to laugh. . . You brought up a memory I have not thought of in a long while. My little, rubenesque Italian Grandmother. (Father's Mom) we lived in a mother daughter home with them. The most sweetest person in the world. She would crochet and sew. She would sit in her chair with a hasic in from of her. As kids, and even as teenagers, we would sit on the hasic and lay our heads on her stomach. she would brush our hair or play with it. Not paying attention, she proceeded to take her scissors and cut my bangs. She felt they were too long and they were in my eyes. I jumped up, mouth open, and was very upset. I ran upstairs and told my mom. That is all I remember of what happen. She has been gone for a every long time now. And still when I think of that story I smile and laugh. . . Like you said a loving memory. . . Thank you so much for letting that memory pop into my mind today. I needed that laugh. |
that sure would be upsetting especially if you are an adult and take full financial and physical responsibility for your pup. Is that the case, or are you a minor living at home with a pup your parents bought. |
