Though I haven't posted in ages, some of you might recall that my otherwise delightful, exuberant collie isn't very fond of being groomed and was kicked out of Petsmart's grooming salonSince then, I've brought her to my vet for sedated grooming...but today's grooming session reminds me that I really need to find a groomer skilled in both long-haired breeds like my rough coat girl and pups that aren't thrilled at being groomed in the first place! The vet assistant who handled Bijou's grooming today basically clipped her from head to toe -- my poor collie has no mane, no skirt and no real "rough collie" look to her anymore! She looks more like a smooth collie that's a bit unkempt, or maybe some kind of a fox. She's still pretty, to us, even though now I feel embarrassed to take her to our county's Dog Fest next week!
You can't really see how poorly she was clipped, but my little Bijou no longer has any fur on her rump! She looks so strange but she seems happy, so we'll just be grateful she's clean and trimmed up and we know her hair will grow back (soon, I hope!)
