What Did They Do to My Dogs?!?
I took the two dogs to PetSmart to be groomed yesterday – after all their camping trips and illnesses, they were pretty scruffy.
When I got there, they said that because the had some mats and their hair was so knotted, they both needed to be completely shaved down. I was so sad!
We really try to keep up with their curly goldendoodle fur. We brush them daily – even more so after they get wet. I guess we need to be a bit more diligent and brush them a few times a day – or take them in for grooming more than every two months…I don’t know.
Anyway, I knew that the dogs were going to look different with no hair, but I wasn’t prepared for how little dog was under all of Geddy’s fur…here’s Geddy last week on our camping trip…
And here he is this morning:
I’m sure he feels better without all those knots and this is great for the hot summer weather, but I had no idea how SKINNY he was! He looks like some sort of hound dog – or neglected puppy (and believe me, he is NOT neglected!).
Daisy was also shaved, but she’s been shaved before, so it’s not as big of a shock.
Here she is on our trip last week:
And this morning:
This is going to take some getting used to…
