Professional Dog Grooming, this is what you get…

My mum decided that Ricki, our faithful cross Maltese Papillon, after her 12 or so years of her existence (human years) deserved to be professionally groomed. So after a phone call to make an appointment, 1 hour grooming session and $60 for the service this is how our beloved dog now looks like.

Ricki’s looks have gone backwards hey? Aren’t professional dog groomers meant to make dogs look better the same way as you’d expect a professional beautician would give you a make over? I guess the groomer did accentuate Ricki’s Papillion heritage by making her “butterfly” ears stand out. But in turn making her look ugly. I’ve actually been nice with the before/after picture by only making Ricki’s head prominent, seeing as she’s on the wrong side of chubby and after a litter and her old age her breasts are prone to the Earth’s gravitational pull, and now all this is out in the open, showing. She used to be able to hide behind think hair same way the right choice in clothing hides a beer belly, but now with short short hair she doesn’t have that option anymore.

Oh well, it’s only hair and will grow back in a few weeks, well at least my mum is hoping.

UPDATE March 18, 2008: Mum is now over the denial period and is today referring to Ricki as “ugly”
