One reason I have been enjoying blogging is that it is a different creative outlet than the grooming outlet that so much of my energy is devoted to. But I had to share these images and the story. This Chow, when he walked in the door of our shop, was every groomers nightmare on four feet. He had matted, thick, oily, smelly coat covering every inch of his body. And for non groomer types, Chow's are notoriously difficult dogs to handle. The story was that in a divorce situation, he went with the husband. A long, long time passed, and the wife was called and asked if she wanted the dog back. The first image is what the dog looked like when she got him back. Several hours after we got our hands on him, he was nearly finished with his makeover in the second photo. Luckily for all concerned, he was a total gentleman for the entire process. He had a serious bounce to his step when he left us. This was a makeover story that warmed us all.
