Aw, her "before" photos were completely cute (love that little ponytail on her noggin), and even her "after" pictures can't hide her sweetness! -- any pictures from the last few days so we can see how it's grown back? I completely understand how you feel though, I just took Bijou (a rough collie, but she's young so doesn't have too much fluff yet!) to the groomers for a bath "and a trim." In the past, they've just trimmed her feet, done her leg feathering and trimmed her tail a little bit and she's always come out so pretty. On Friday when I picked her up, they'd shaved behind her ears because they said it was sooo tight (I understood that, since they felt it was necessary for her comfort and safety), done a horrible job with her cute feeties (basically hacked away at the fur, not a tidy trim job as in the past) and they cut off all her pretty mane! Now she's the same length fur from the top of her head all the way down her back, without any of the "collie mane" that she was finally beginning to grow! Waaa. I liked the groomer as a person because she seemed to really like Bijou but in the future, I'll be sure to ask for someone else. I think the tip-off was when she told me that she'd be unavailable for the next month because she was going to be attending grooming school! (Um, wish I'd known she didn't have any training before before she got near my girl with scissors!)
