So Izzie has been to the groomers today (& they've done a brillant job so we're really happy). Sorry for the long message to follow!
Not sure how many of you know but last time we had her groomed (mid December) we had a lady come out to the house with a van to do her, as mum hasn't been too well this felt like a good option as we didn't have to travel to drop her off somewhere & pick her up.
Anyway, the lady didn't do what I asked, which were;
1. To cut her legs much shorted because they were too long as were matted because of things getting stuck in them on walks
2. Shave under her tummy because again it was really bad with things getting stuck in there from walks & she doesn't like us touching it whe it's matted
3. Sort out the matting on her bum because it had gotten pretty bad
There were other things I told her which she did try to listen to, however the 3 most important things I asked her to do were as written above & she didn't do any of it! Her legs were left the same as when she went in (she said that Izzie didn't like her doing her legs - YES I KNEW THAT which is why we needed them doing because she wouldn't let me!)
But now for the worst part... She came back in (3 and a half hours later) to tell us that she'd noticed Izzie had a cut on her & she 'thought' she had taken the top off of it again. I've never heard such rubbish in my life! The cut was really bad, she'd pretty much sliced a piece of skin off of my baby (it was still attached but looked bad). I'm almost positive that she'd decide to start trying to shave under her tummy & she'd immediately made a mistake & cut her right near her front leg, so decided not to go any further with her tummy. I was pretty angry about it.
So anyway we went back to the place where she had her first groom in the summer last year, lovely people. She was shaking on my knee in the car & really didn't want to stay when we dropped her off
(obviously due to her bad experience) however rang the lady about an hour later & she said Izzie was fine & she now looks gorgeous & is all de-matted & very short, but this time we will keep up to her coat as best we can so it doesn't get bad again, but will use these groomers in the future
So a couple of pictures of my baby (although not brilliant because she was a bit sulky when I took them - bit of clipper rash I think, not bad just a bit red so he wasn't happy lol).
