Today I worked on my very first groom (outside of Teddie and Velma) and I must say she made my jaw drop.
This is a dog that Angie watches after and takes to be groomed when she can. The owners don’t take care of her and they keep her chained both inside and outside the home. So she becomes a filthy mess to say the least. Since Angie was going to set up an appointment for her, I told her I’d ask my boss if he’d mind if I came in on an off day.

So today I took her up to the shop around noon and with a little help she came out great. Here she is.

What do you guys think?

Is that a polar bear?

Seriously, she looks amazing! What a difference a groom makes.

I'm calling my hair dresser for an appointment!

Teddie, what a great job you did, especially on her face! I especially like way you clipped her ears. She has such an expressive face now. I groom my poodles and I used to groom my shih-tzu and for me the face is the hardest part.

She's a very cute dog. It's a shame about her situation.

I think you did an awesome JOB. I've had maltese and would be happy with the job you did. Makes me sad to see her before though.
