Stray Boy. Do you think he is a Multi-poo?

[Belinda Stevens]

Well some of you have asked to be kept up to date on the little stray boy that was posted on here yesterday by Donna after finding him listed on craigslist. I got him last night to groom him and I thought I would share the pictures. It is by far the worst I have seen as far as mats go. I am sorry that the pictures are not the best as the low light just didn't help out. He is about 80% done and I need to finish him up tonight. Many thanks to Jane for coming over last night and helping me!!!
BEFORE

During grooming. His back and legs were one solid mat.

This is part of his mat from his back.

Working on his back leg mat.

This is him this morning after a bath last night to work out some of the left over mats. It took him a while to get to sleep but finally it happened and we all got some much needed rest. He was VERY happy to see me this morning. I figured he would hate me but I think he was actually grateful.

The back of his little head....very curly boy.

Isn't he cute? Do you think he is a Multi-Poo?

I will post more after he is complete.

Belinda, Thank you, Donna and Jane for helping the little guy...He is so cute.

Belinda, I cannot believe the difference you made in this sweet boy! That was a LOT of cutting that needed to be done and I know he must feel SO much better! Many thanks to you, Jane and Donna for helping this little guy.

Belinda - you're amazing - so kind of you to take the time to help this little guy. I hope he finds a home soon. You do quite a good job with the grooming too!

I wish Belinda would host a grooming exhibition... I'll pay! I'm scared to take Oliver to a groomer (petrified, actually).

[Belinda Stevens]

Ahh you can do it. It's just hair...it grows back.

[Donna, Tony, Oliver,Henry & Joey]

Ok, I'll try. I may (or may not!) post pics of Oliver afterwards.

[Donna, Tony, Oliver,Henry & Joey]

Thanks so much. Belinda is going to let me watch how she grooms Stella and then I should feel confident enough to do it myself. My fear is not about how the cut will look, but how the groomer will treat my dog. We had a very bad experience which left my last dog (older chow & retriever mix) having seizures and nervous for the rest of her life. Having said all that, I do appreciate the offer and would love to have the name in case I get up the nerve to trust someone again one day.
