Molly's in at the groomers.....
« on: April 21, 2008, 10:30:50 AM »
......................at 12pm!

I'm so nervous  :005:

She hasnt had a professional groom before, she has always been done by myself or the MIL, but since she was spayed last year her coat is really hard to manage now!

Hope it goes OK  :-\

I'll take some before and after shots for you all!

Dogs are natural optimists and believe if they stare hard enough and long enough, the icing on the cake could be theirs.

I know that feeling well.  When my 2 go in I'm a nervous wreck until I see them again  :005:

OMG I dont know what to say really - I think i'm in shock!!!!!  :-\

She looks sweet but I think her back has been shaved a little too short but other than that I think ske looks OK. Its strange to see all of her markings now as before they were covered with all her fur!!!

Here's how the hairy beast was before............

I think her markings are beautiful, and although it could be a bit longer it's not too bad at all  :luv: :luv: and she still has her feathers and ears and tail!. It's lovely to see pics of her too  :luv: :luv:

I agree. After all, it grows surprisingly quickly and she should be nice and easy to groom for now. What a pretty girl. :luv:

That's almost exactly how Tilly gets done and it does look a bit severe on her back and sides for the first week or so and then it looks really nice once it's grown out a tiny bit. I think Molly looks lovely, her colouring is gorgeous and as Helen said they've left her ears and feathers which is the main thing  :luv:  I love her expression in the 'before' pic though  :lol2: :luv:

She looks good Lucy. She has got gorgeous markings and they have left her feathers and ears nice and long.
As the others have said it will start to look less harsh in a week or so. I always like to be reminded of their markings because it reminds me of when you first get them as pups.
I take it back about that groomers. They have done a good job. Is it still a grot hole though?

Yes, Grot Hole is putting it nicely!  ph34r :police:

They were really nice though and I know myself, Molly isn't the easiest of dogs with new people but they thought she was wonderful!!

that's great. as long as the dog is happy and they do a good job that's good enough for me. I mean what's bit of grot at the end of the day  :005:
