I'm Not Speaking To You
Leave me alone.
How could you do this to me Mommy?
I hate that mean, horrible groomer! She clipped off way toooooo much of my hair!
My long, wispy curls are GONE!!!
Why did you take me to her? Why? You never had me groomed before!
I'm so NOT speaking to you - go take a picture of Marley - he has ALL of HIS hair!
I just want to cry...
And I want my long hair back....
And I'm not coming inside to sit on your lap either... go in without me!
I'll wait here until you apologize and promise to never, ever, take me to get groomed again!
I'm sorry Maggie - please forgive me! It will grow back! (I hope!)
Love,
Mommy
The things we moms do to our children and when they complain we tell them it's for their own good! I'm sure Maggie will get over it in time :) Hope you have a wonderful day. Rhondi

She looks adorable no matter what! Isn't it funny - they know when they look different and they usually don't like it! Of course you will keep us posted WHEN (not if) your home hits the page of that magazine! Love, Esther

Wow Kim can I identify with this thread. I just had Molly/Sadie groomed. The haircut turned into more like a "shave" haircut. Sadie (Welsh) doesn't look too bad but Molly looks like she is wearing long johns. LOL Short doesn't mean shaved - Oh well, live and learn. Maggie sure does have "expressions" - she photographs beautifully. Have a great day!
Hugs,
Connie

Aaaw! Give her a hug from me. She's still cute as a button though.

What a sweet photo essay. It made me giggle. She really does look anguished at her new hairdo.
Maggie, dear, I have felt that way many times coming from the Hair Salon. It will grow back in time. Hang in there and do forgive your Mommy.

Maybe that groomer wasn't so great, but all of Maggie's lovely coat will be back soon. Things grow faster in Florida. She's still a beauty.

That is funny...when we first had Maisy groomed, they mistook short for shaven...and she looked like a skinned chicken. PLUS it was a record cold day, about a high of 19 degrees! I rushed out and bought her a sweater. I think Maggie looks adorable, but those pups do act peeved when they've been put through the indignity of grooming!!

aww...poor little thing! i think she's still a cutie!

Maggie, but you look so adorable even without your curls. Mean mommy...don't worry sweetie, those curlies will be back before you know it. Hugs and kisses.

Cute, cute, cute. Doggie posts are some of my favorite. After looking at your Maggie I am sure my part chihuahua is also part dachsund. :)

Oh she is still so beautiful :-). Aren't pups funny about their haircuts, just like us?:-).
Have a wonderful weekend!!

that is too funny! i just love a dog's personality!! my cocker definitely acts different after she has been to the "beauty shop"!

Kim, you captured her thoughts perfectly! Miss Maggie is a doll face no matter what! Her hair will grow back. Duhgall's always does. We used to get the tail tucked in mood from him afterwards, but now he likes his "adventure." Hugs to you and Maggie,
Becky

Maggie, I can certainly relate. I got a haircut this week that I'm not too thrilled about either! Bad hair days (and hair cuts) are just one of the curses of being female, I guess. Don't worry though because you are still adorable, even with your shorter locks!

Kim...I think we need to get together on a new business venture...we need to create "hair extensions" for dogs...you know for those times in between shavings....lol...hey, if Jessica Simpson can do it...why can't we???
I know all too well those looks of disdain, disgust and dread...I get them everytime I have to take mine in for a bathing or grooming...my Maggie "punishes" me...by not speaking or reacting to me for several hours afterwards...and she's a Lab...she doesn't get groomed, just bathed and a nail trim....oh well, she adjust sooner or later...Dogs...they really do have personalities unique to each of them. My granddog has this kind of "hmmmmph sound of exasperation" when I don't do something exactly like she's used to...too funny...I seriously think she's part human.
Blessings...and let me know about that business venture...we could call it "Lassie's Locks" or "Doggy Diva's Dreads"....something cute and clever...LOL
Blessings...

hahaha, isn't it funny how our dogs get when they get groomed? Mine hates it too ;) rosemary

Isn't it funny how dogs seem to know when they've had a fur cut and how they seem to get mad? My dog does the same thing!

Sweet Miss Maggie,
My beautiful Ms. Bear, who was a spinster Rottweiler, always had a "defining moment" after grooming or vet visits. She would arch her eyebrow, refuse to look me in the eye, lift her upper lip, show her gorgeous teeth, and elicit a low, gutteral growl. It always took a cookie to restore her hormonal balance. I miss my Ms. Bear....

Oh, Maggie, Tobi knows exactly how you feel and has much sympathy for you! She hates the groomer who is in our vets office. As soon as I take her in the door and she sniffs around and realizes where she is, she tries to get back out that door fast!! Tobi is a Lhasa Apsa and has lots of hair. The problem is, when it starts to grow out the least bit, it starts to get matted. So grooming for her is a necessary evil!!
Please give Miss Maggie and hug from Tobi and me...IF she will let you!! LOL
Hugs,
Hope

Oh, Miss Maggie.....if only I looked soooo adorable when I get my "bad" haircut!! Don't worry, sweetie pie, your curles will be back before you know it. Gosh, Kim, all our doggies just cringe when they are getting a bath here at home. In fact, it is always a battle of the wills....
especially with our adorable bassett, Wilbur! Have you ever tried to get a "petite" (65 lb.) bassett into a bathtub when he decides that is something HE doesn't want to do???? LOL! I love Maggie's expressions! She is such a sweetie! Have a great day, Miss Maggie, and remember that your Mommy loves you verrry much!

Awwww, maybe a cookie would help! A BIG cookie!
