I am so sorry You guys had such a issue with petsmart... Corky goes there and they are very good with him. Always got the cut we wanted with no issues.

kmfull · 04-05-2012, 08:58 PM

Yeah this was like our 3rd or 4th time going there and there were no issues before...That was my April Fool's prank i guess..oh well

I actually think he looks REALLY cute! I was so glad to get rid of that puppy hair, that was always a tangled mess (albeit, a bit sad, but still... short is sooo much easier to care for!) I keep Jackson pretty short year-round, with a rounded face.

As much as I love the full coat, with three dogs and 3 kids, my dogs are all shaved down here.

It's easier, cleaner and we spend more time playing than grooming.

I tried growing Elvis' back out but the funky growing in look look unkempt to me so he stays in a pup cut-I just love that look on the boys.

My foster boy is all shaved, even his face! He was picked up as a stray, and they say he was so matted he had to be sedated to be shaved. He's got a cute face, and will be even cuter when his beard grows in.

kmfull · 04-15-2012, 08:40 PM

aww he is CUTE!! and so little..my max is LOW like that too..i dont mind the body but i cant WAIT for his head and face to grow back..but i definitle see progress and its only been 2 weeks so i will be patient

Our first experience was horrible. I dropped a little dog off and DH brought home a squirrel.

kmfull · 04-20-2012, 05:45 PM

YES!! so you feel my pain..how long did it take for it to grow back

celstu1 · 04-25-2012, 09:17 AM

I remember the first time my boys get a 'puppy cut' at the groomer. They were about 8 months old. They still had black backs and tan legs and heads. Well under all that black their blue color was coming in, but you couldn't see it. When I went to pick them up after the first groom it was almost shocking. They did not look like MY DOGS! Maybe you are just in shock of your babies color change, but he is 6 months old and his blue should be coming in and the black should be leaving. I thought I hated their shave, but they had it done again and I loved it and now I have it done every time they get groomed. Its so much easier and they seem so much happier without all the hair!

kmfull · 04-25-2012, 09:47 PM

Thank you so much for that!! i needed to hear that..yeah the color change is A HUGE difference but it has been 3 weeks and i am used to him now..just want his face to grow back in more..but i can tell it is coming in and his hair is more silky than before
