I've been shopping for a groomer and I think I found one. She works at PetCo, here in Milwaukee. I'm so glad I walked out of PetSmart last week, when the girl came in looking like she just woke up with a bad hangover, LOL Trust your instincts!!
After
he looks amazing...I finally found an amazing groomer, after two others, one of which shaved him to the bone around thanksgiving (cold)...I no longer fear that he wont look like an entirely different dog...hes got a standing appointment....no tangles, no knots and he always looks great!
such a handsome boy! and you were so smart not to leave him at Petsmart.......they are famous for shaving EVERY dog down to the skin.....they did it to my baby when he was a puppy, and I cried the whole way home! He was a little matted, as all baby doodles get, but to SHAVE him all the way off and make my gorgeous boy look like a rat@&^#$&y I wanted to kill SOMEbody! Now we also found a wonderful groomer....a good groomer makes a world of difference, doesn't it?
Beau's sister lives in Milwaukee....maybe you know her? Her name is Molly, and she belongs to my friend, Bill James (wife is Cathy). They have lots of kids, and just had another baby girl.
