Before...And After

 Since we had such a long winter this year, one thing we put off was setting up a time to get our dog's hair cut. Because we have a poodle and because we don't know how to cut our dog's hair ourselves, we need to set something up from a groomer. 

If you have a dog that needs a hair cut, there's a good chance if you can find a groomer, they're weeks, sometimes months out for their next open appointment. That's what happened to us this spring, but since it was still on the cooler side, having long hair wasn't the worst thing for the dog.

Then, things got warmer.

For years we've taken Bec the dog to a groomer where we used to live. We love using her--she does a great job and loves Bec. When we called for an appointment, she was booked solid for weeks. It would be sometime in June before we could get the dog in. We couldn't do that to the dog. We asked our neighbors who they use and they suggested someone only about fifteen minutes away.

We tried her out and the experience was good for us, good for Bec, and hopefully, good for the groomer.

Normally, when the dog returns home, we almost never recognize him...such a difference. This time, because we waited longer than normal, the difference between before and after was stark, as the pictures prove.

Glad we could get him groomed...it's going to get warm soon.
