Nightmare Morning

[minniemoomoo]

Thank you for all the words of encouragement. I still can't believe it when I look at them. Tori had thinner fur, and she keeps looking at me with big sad eyes, as if to say "what have you done with my coat?". I know it will grow back but it was a real shock. I will have my husband download a pic. They are still so precious to me, but I just feel that they blame me. I told my husband, they've had more treats today then they usually get in a week. Thanks again for the pictures that you logged and the kind words. All three of us needed them today.

I once had a golden and I took her to get groomed and I said DO NOT shave her. I come to pick her up and yep she was shaved. I asked her about it and she said I didn't shave her I just cut her, yeah right!! It is so hard to find a good groomer and there are so many bad groomers.

I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with a groomer. Sure do see lots of horror stories when it comes to groomers. To bad we can't stand there and watch to make sure they don't screw up!

Hope your babies grow their hair back fast! At least with summer coming, they'll be cooler, huh? Hugs to you!!!

I have a Bichon and a Yorkie --- and believe me -- a Bichon is a much more complicated grooming problem than a Yorkie can ever be. And -- over the years, I have had every grooming result imaginable. My attitude is that anyway my dog(s) are ever groomed is "not the end of the world." Most of the time, I am happy with the way they are groomed and other times, I think they look pretty "pitiful," and wait for them to grow out and start over again.

But - life goes on - it is not the end of the world!!! Hair grows back!!!

With luck - if you keep searching - you'll find the groomer that grooms your dog perfect every time!!!

I don't know why everyone is always so upset about the way their dogs are groomed. They are still the same dog and are precious and lovely and loveable regardless of how their hair has been cut.

Some of my favorite pictures of my Bichon are the times he got the "worst haircut in the world." Believe me, he could have cared less - it was me that was disappointed.

You really just need to find a groomer that cuts your dog the way you want him to be. And, don't we all know that no dog has so as many different styles and different haircuts as the little Yorkie.

I have more important things in life to worry than how my Yorkie is groomed. Regardless of his haircut, he always comes home - clean, happy, smelling good, and feeling good about himself. And, he's especially happy about just getting home and back to normal.

And, I have had a "few bad haircuts myself - haven't you??"

Again - just find a groomer that you are happy with.....and, sometimes this takes a while.

What about treating him to a very manly sweatshirt or sweater to wear until it groes back some...poor thing must feel naked!!! Same thing happened to me several times. Our big boy is a bichon/poodle mix and one groomer cut him like a show poodle. My kids couldn't stop laughing and I was embarrassed to take him for walks! My hubby said we should change his name to Liberace..lol! No offense to show poodles out there.

When Harley was a baby i had him shaved down and to tell you the truth i think his hair grew back much nicer, his puppy hair even tho you brush it all the time had knots underneath that i just couldn't get out, and now my little hair has the same puppy fuzzy hair, i even use conditioner on them they get weekly bathes but you can't stop the knots, there both getting shaved tonight when the groomer comes, cause summer time is here and the 90 days are right around the corner and i don't want them to be hot. Wait to you see how pretty there coate comes back in...

OMG, the same thing happened to Baxter 6 weeks ago. He was in for a puppy cut and came out looking like a shnauzer(sp). I said just a puupy cut to make his coat grow in nicely. It was awful. He had to wear a tshirt out cuz he got cold. But now 6 weeks later, he is looking better. The groomer called and he goes back today. Only for a bath and a ear hair cut. He had such cute bangs that could be put up, now they are starting to grow back. The only happy ending is that they do grow back.
