I am sooo upset.
When I went in, I showed Sandy (the woman who has groomed Kaylee before, and I was happy with) a picture of the cut that I wanted. I asked for four things: 1) Her tail to be left alone. 2) Her ears to be left alone, except on the inside. 3) Well blended topknot and back-into-skirt. 4) To be told of any and all issues Kaylee has during grooming, so that when I move to NM I can make her new groomer aware. She acknowledged and agreed to everything, even discussed some things to make sure she knew what I wanted.
Well first, I got her in at 8:30. I stopped back by at 1 to see if she was going to be ready soon and she hadn't even been touched yet. She mentioned a different groomer, which instantly worried me. Previous times I'd been there, I'd gotten there at 9:30 and had her by 12, and Sandy did the grooming. When I got her back, at 4, at first glance she looked good. Sandy said that Kaylee as absolutely no issues in any of the grooming processes... Which I would soon realize that If that's the case, whoever groomed her was AWFUL!
I went into the outside light, and in the car and started notcing EVERYTHING. The tail was left alone & the back looked well blended into the skirt to me, BUT....
They cut her ears, they didn't shave them, but they ruined her beautiful curles! Her head looks like a freaking DOG MULLET! There was little hairs sticking out from her paws that they missed-- including a big jut of hair on one paw that you'll see in the pics below they missed... A lot of the hair was cut uneven... They even missed a small matted area under her right elbow!!!
I cant even think of what else I had to complain about, I'm just too upset. The ONLY thing keeping me glued together right now is that I know her hair will grow back.... And when it does, I'm going to be going to a groomer that specializes in cockers until I can start grooming her MYSELF!!
I've never groomed a dog before, but I swear I could have done better! Her head is what ticks me off the most!! There isn't even really a top knot, when you look at her head from the top, it's like a short swirl of hair... Omg
But I do say, despite her crap haircut, she was so happy to see me and sweet as ever, and I just love her Oh So Much!!! :wub:
There are about 14 pics, so I just put them in a photobucket album. Click here to see the Pics
