maneless dog
Took Dante to PetSmart to get him groomed before his birthday. (His first time being professionally groomed.)
They called and said they couldn't get the tangles out of some of his neck and could only shave it out - and asked if I agreed. Stupidly, I said yes.
Came in to find him completely without his mane. The best and fluffiest fur, shaved to the skin. Looks like a nightmare - huge fluffy head floating on a pencil neck.
Yes, I agreed to it, but I wouldn't if they'd said "Look, if we do this, he's going to look horrible. Are you really, really sure?"
Saffy said she had been working on those tangles and getting them out. Slow work, but she was making progress. She wasn't there when they called...
I can't outright fault them, since they did ask. But I brought in a beautiful dog, and got back a disfigured one that looks like it's had major surgery.
This really, really sucks. Looking at him physically hurts.
And the worst bitch of it is - the breeder warned us about this exact thing happening if we took him to a groomer. I completely forgot about that till after.
Why the hell did I say yes?
Fuck.
Happy first birthday, mutt. :/
