What the hell?

So I take my dogs to be groomed the other day.

When I drop them off I say "Will they be ready by 4:30?" An emphatic "Yes." was the answer.

At 4:10 I call and ask if my dogs were ready. I was told they were ready for pick up.

So I get there at 5:15 to pick up my dogs. I walk in and I ask for them. I'm told "I have to finish Stitch's nails and then they'll be ready. It will only take a minute."

WTH?!?

Soooo 35 minutes later Stitch's pedicure was done and we were ready to go.

And then they bring out Gracie.

Both Hayden and I freeze.

Hayden's remark: "What....?"

My remark: "What the hell did you do to my dog?"

SHE WAS WHITE INSTEAD OF BROWN! THEY HAD SHAVED MY DOG DOWN!

The girl actually stopped and said to me: "Is this not what you wanted?"

Seriously? Whatcha gonna do? Put the hair BACK on? Give her extensions or a weave? She's BALD! And there is nothing you can do to fix it!!



So now I have a WHITE dog with a brown head and tail and a tan dorsal stripe. The good news is she seems much happier without all the shedding fur, but I think she is a little embarrassed by the way she looks. Notice the PINK skin showing through on her chest?

FFR: Do NOT ask for the Furminator for little dog. GOOD for big dog; BAD for little dog. Duly noted. Sorry Gracie.

WTF?
Poor Gracie, it's good to know that it will grow back soon.

Oh, poor Gracie. Cotton was always embarrassed when we would shave her for the summer. Course she's so old now the sound of the clippers would probably freak her so bad she'd stroke out.
