Zach's First Hair Cut

Zach had his first grooming appointment today. He started the morning looking like this:

I was hoping that she could take him down to 1 inch. But he had mats that I did not know about. I knew he had some under his chin, because he really hates having his face combed, but I thought I had really done a good job of staying on top of things. Apparently not, the groomer spent a lot of time showing me the areas of his coat that had mats that I was not aware of, and spent time teaching me the proper way to brush, comb and demat (is that a word) his coat, so I can keep up with it as it grows out. I've had short haired dogs for 20 years and never had a dog with a curly coat, so I learned a lot today, and Zach got a COMPLETE make over - From shaggy to sophisticated

A shout out to Lynn at Wags and Whiskers in Albuquerque. Although it is short I think she did a great job and that he is a handsome Dood!
