She is still very pretty, naked thou. I bet she is getting a new wardrobe, and now with the summer around the corner you will feel more comfortable. Her hair wil grow back soon.

ldenise · 04-15-2006, 07:53 AM

I am glad you are not upset too much about it all. the hair does grow back. besides that, you are more in love with her and not her hair ...right?
I have only had Buckeye groomed once. that did it for me. Yorkies are beautify any way they come. IMO

LaLoca1 · 04-15-2006, 07:59 AM

oh my.....you must be the nicest person in the world, because I would have been so upset! They would have to call the police and drag me out of the store, because I would be yelling at everyone. It is true, she is adorable no matter what. Still...

to that groomer!

yorkiepip · 04-15-2006, 08:12 AM

I too would have been totally p***ed off.
She is still cute thou

When she need groomed again do try it yourself its not as difficult as you think it will be and im sure you'd do a better job than they've done

twinkie · 04-15-2006, 01:07 PM

I would have been so mad! I mean your baby is still super cute and I know you will still love her either way, but I know that they didn't need to take such drastic measures in shaving her entire body. Oh well, her hair will grow back so I guess it can't be too bad.

Enikuo · 04-15-2006, 02:37 PM

Oh wow! That's terrible. She is still pretty though.

Rhapsody · 04-15-2006, 02:47 PM

Thanks everyone! Ya'll are so great! I'm almost positive that woman did that to Rhapsody because of my reaction in the difference that they said they were going to charge me. . .

I just got off the phone with the district manager. . . and I'm happy to say that I'm getting a full refund and I got an apology.

I didn't expect that, and I'm very happy that Petsmart took responsibility for what had happened! Very professional!!!!

lexi'smom · 04-15-2006, 08:13 PM

Wow
i am glad you are getting your money back
the upside of this is at least it is not winter, and hair does grow back
I on the other hand would have cried and cried
keep clothing on her and make sure she doesn't go out in the sun without clothing you don't want her getting a sunburn. She is still a cutie.

PetSmart sucks!!

PetSmart Sucks!!

PetSmart Sucks!

But believe me, they're not the only ones that do it!! "They" all say it's better for the pup. It's kinder to the pup. When actually, IMHO it's only better, less time consuming, and a whole lot easier for THEM!!! (the people!). I had the same thing happen to me and it was done by somebody I've been using for 3-4 years!! Mine had hair on the top of his head that went down about half way to his butt. When she got done with him, he loked like she put a bowl on the top of his head and cut around the base of it!! Needless to say, I was miffed! She shaved his enire body down to skin!! Poor guy. Talk about nekked!! He loked like a hairless----something or other!! It's been over 6 months now and it is just now starting to look like he HAS hair! He's still got the bowl look. Dont know how I'll ever get THAT fixed. Yes it will grow back, yes I still love him. But even HE was embarrassed when someone saw him. Thank goodness it was cold out then. He loves sweaters and clothes, so it was easy to cover him up. But she'll never do him again!!

Good for you! It pays to call up and express your concerns!

ssmiles1980A · 04-15-2006, 09:54 PM

aww soo cute

kristyrae77 · 04-15-2006, 10:09 PM

Just give her 2 weeks, and she'll be perfect. I hate getting Emma (my maltese) cut to because they make her look like a poodle, but 2-3 weeks later she looks just perfect!! Don't be sad!

red98vett · 04-16-2006, 06:35 AM

OMG HOW FREAKING CUTE ! oh no...I know they cut short but it WILL GROW back and how cute is that lol - Chanel had the SAME thing done by a groomer - I think it's a yorkie MUST to have a bad haircut lol - poor baby - she'll really need her dresses now and no knots !!

lexi'smom · 04-16-2006, 10:59 AM

I showed my husband the b4 and after photos and he said she is still a cutie pie but he would be pissed.

We need to get updated picts of her, i am sure the hair will grow back in no time

Connie · 04-18-2006, 07:59 AM

Man oh man...what a total difference! She's darling either way, but how disappointing for you and I don't blame you for crying...I would have too. It makes me mad when groomers do this. There is really no reason for it and I think it's probably laziness on their part...easier to just shave it all off and get on to the next dog! I'm glad you got a refund, but I think they should have also given you a gift certificate or something. Little Rhapsody is cute, even nekked...and thank goodness it will grow back. She must look sooooo very tiny now!!!
