Will the real Cocoa please stand up!

[Richard Crowe]

We had Cocoa groomed today and we think that Maureen, of Ye Olde Poodle Parlor in San Marcos, CA, did a great job; especially considering the terrible coat condition in which Cocoa arrived.  Cocoa was necessarily clipped short, including her ears because she was so full of mats and tangles.

Maureen told us that Cocoa was one of the nicest and most cooperative dogs she has ever groomed.  Of course, we know just how nice this darling girl is.

Maureen was able to save some of Cocoa's doodle beard which will, along with the rest of her coat grow out nicely...

I have loved this girl from the moment I met her but, honestly had trouble looking past her ratty coat to see the diamond in the rough beneath all those mats..

She is a lovely girl now but, we think she will bloom into quite a beauty with some TLC...

Thank you, Richard, for what you and your wife are doing for this beautiful girl.  She's so lucky to be a part of your household, however brief.

LOL, she does resemble Big Bird! Muppet Doodle!

Here is another shot of Cocoa before grooming but after Judy had trimmed her face a bit.  I think that she looked a bit like Big Bird from Sesame Street.
