So we took James up to the groomer yesterday to get some length taken off because he was getting way shaggy. We tell the lady what we want and she says no problem. We had James over and her face drops. She just looks at me and says "I'm sorry but his underfur is matted." I'm just like... ok, so unmat it, whatever.
I was mistaken. Here's the breakdown. If a dog's fur is matted its basically dredded and nothing can be done with it. It becomes painful for the dog because it gets tight and its like his fur is being pulled out. The only cure?
Shave him.
So 3 hours later, we got back and pick up our little guy. He comes out and his fur went from 2 1/2 inches long to 1/4 inch. Oh and the best part, he didn't like the idea of them shaving his head... so they didn't. He looks like a lion and not in a good way. I'm not going to lie, I cried. I'm over it now. Now we can laugh about it.
I'll get pics as soon as I can. Unfortunately he's at the vet today getting snipped. He's had a hard couple of days.
