Wish Me Luck - With Pics
« on: January 08, 2007, 06:52:59 PM »
Hurley is currently being groomed outside and I am waiting for the groomer to bring him in.....

She wanted to clip his back and the top of his head!?!?  :o is this right????

I said no and in the end just told her to thin out his coat and give him a trim - I would rather have her do it again than wait weeks for it to go back.

Will post pics in a minute when he walks in the front door......


depending on whether it looks rubbish or not. ;)

Ok - Im just trying to find the camera cable so I can download the pics..... just my luck that its gone awol - or is it - I might just run and hide until Hurley goes back to looking like a bear!!

Its alright I guess. Just a major shock to the system now my hairy bear has gone. Some of it looks a bit messy and I dont like what she's done to his top knot he looks like a skin head who's growing it out.

She's also trimmed the little bit of hair that comes down off his willy.... I thought that was supposed to help them aim when they wee?!!!?!?!?

His ears definately look better but his tail which is docked looks like a maggot rather than a hamster....

OK - going on a hunt to find the cable and will download as soon as I find it!

This really isn't painting a good picture - you really need to get a pic on here fast before we charge you with crimes against cockers  :005: :005: :005:

I dont think I want to   ph34r  ph34r   :005:  I feel sorry for the poor lad.... they say that every cloud has a silver lining, at least with his poorly leg there is no chance of him being seen in public....

Funnily enough I still can't find that damned camera cable...   :shades:

Ok - here goes.

Next time the Top Knot definately stays - but I think thats because she's done a not so great job. Im not very impressed to be honest and will wait until the recommended groomer is free rather than be miss impatient pants and go to the first person's details I find.

Its not terrible but its certainly not great. In some parts there are massive chunks cut out....

My poor poor boy - how long til it grows back???

From this one you can see where he's getting a little podgy - its obviously from the lack of exercise... look at the maggot tail!  ph34r

She's butchered his head!!!! I think its all going to have to go now...   :o

I'm not going to offer an opinion as Jakey is going to the groomers tomorrow and if she manages to get him looking like that I'll be grateful (he has fear aggression).

I've learnt with Meg, after making many mistakes, that it starts to grows back in a couple of weeks.  So if something doesn't look right you don't have to live with it for long  ;)

Yes, he is gorgeous but maybe Im biased!!  :luv:  :luv: With hair like that - only a mother could love him!!!

No worries - to be honest I appreciate the honest comments. Serves me right for being impatient  ::)  >:(

We're a right pair with our hair disasters - at least he is confined to the house under vets orders.  ::)

He is lovely, the trimming is not too bad.
I don't know why some groomers leave a hairy throat and loads of coat on the chest ::)
