Ok, so he was getting scraggily.  His paws looked like poodle paws and his hair was so long i couldn't see his eyes anymore.  I decided he needed a haircut.
 
 
 
Before

 
 
The lady at the grooming place asked me, shave him and clean up his face?  It sounded like a plan to me, and I told her to go ahead.
 
What a mistake!!!!
 
When I picked him up, I was in shock.  I had no idea he was so scrawny under all that fluffy hair! 
 
My kids are still in shock. 
 
They can't believe this is our puppy!
 
mom!  what did you do?  He's SO UGLY!!!!
 
Never again!  i swear it!

    Oh my.... what happened?!.... poor pooch!... well atleast it will grow back... here is my suggestion... next time tell them to just reshape and trim off okay... dont shave the poor pooch again.
  • beyondtheveil said on May 24, 2007....
    secret- I don't see the problem. I think he looks fine.
     
    And he'll thank you for making him cooler in the summer.
  • uniquely-ironic said on May 24, 2007....
    Oh poor baby!  He looks kind of embarrassed.
  • secretlife said on May 24, 2007....

    mommy:  i've been feeding him ever since i got him home!

    sweet:  i know, i keep telling everyone it will grow back!  take my word, poor oliver won't be getting shaved again!

    beyond:  LOL....oh beyond, where'd my cute little puppy go???

    unique:  wouldn't you be embarrassed if someone did THAT to you?

  • queenparanoia said on May 24, 2007....
    oh poor puppy =( he stilll looks cute though!
  • gingersoul said on May 24, 2007....

    Secret......dont do it again!!!!  Poor baby!! ....LOL....

    My friend has this huge furry cat ..she shaved him for the summer...he is too ridiculous ..i cant even look at thim..and i think he knwos it ....lol.....

    he hisses at me now...i would be pissed off too if i were him....

    Your puppy is still a cute pie but before he was a lot better....lol..

  • satyr said on May 24, 2007....
    I'm laughing, SL.  He looks funny, and pissed off.  But he's still got a cute face.  The rest of him will catch back up to his head.  
  • Artemis223 said on May 24, 2007....
    He does look embarrassed!  I must confess to a little laughter at his expense.  I bet he will be cooler, though - and it isn't nearly as frightening as my recent lip waxing incident.  Perhaps I should send your doggie a picture of that so he can feel better ;)
  • secretlife said on May 24, 2007....

    queen:  i think he looks like a mutant!  these big eyes in a huge head.....and this little skinny body!

    ginger: honest...i'll never ever do that again.  every time one of the kids see him, they say, oliver, you're so ugly!  and even  my husband says, that's one ugly dog!

    i had this done monday afternoon....after i got back from one of the doctor appts.  i really didn't want to bring him home!  i knew everyone was going to want to kill me!  he growled and snapped at all of us that whole night, and still his personality isn't back to normal.  i swear he is officially traumatized!!!

    satyr:  i told you it was pathetic!!!  i can't believe how long and skinny his legs are....you know those birthday cards with the dogs and cats with the huge heads and huge eyes?  that's what he reminds me of now!

    artemis:  go ahead and laugh......we're all certainly getting some in at his expense...lol after the horror fades, all you can do is laugh!

    what'd they do to your lip?  dare i ask?

  • allaroundgirl said on May 24, 2007....
    lol...poor puppy, he must feel naked! I still think he looks cute.
  • polarheart said on May 24, 2007....
    Aaaaw, he's a darling!!  I like him both ways. . .he reminds me of my doggies in SA (we had to leave them when we came to the UK :( - I must try find a picture!
     
    Their hair really does grow quickly and soon he will lose the "shaved" look, so dont worry. . .I think they enjoy a cool coat!
     
    Luv Polar
  • mobil said on May 24, 2007....

    Hey SL, I am with Beyond here. I don't see a problem, he's going

    to be much more comfortable in the heat and honest, I don't think

    he looks silly. Maybe because I did that to my dogs in the Spring

    too haha. He looks fine to me..............Winter, fuzzy, Summer

    shaved......

  • skald said on May 24, 2007....
    Poor little thing but he´s still sweet is he not? 
  • secretlife said on May 24, 2007....

    allaround:  we've been keeping his winter sweater on him.  he does look very naked!

    polar:  i hope you can find a picture of your SA doggies!

     

    mobil:  i think he looks positively ridiculous!  Beyond silly....

    i won't do this to him again.  i feel like i've emasculated the poor little thing.

     

    skald:  see!!!! even skald who is always diplomatic says he's a poor little thing!!!!

    yes he is still sweet, but he is much cuter with his hair!

     

  • mom said on May 24, 2007....
    SL- What breed of dog is he.  He kind of looks like my dog in the face.  I had to admit I laughed really hard,  he looks so pitiful but adorable at the same time.  He does have that look that says, "Wait till you're sleeping."
  • secretlife said on May 24, 2007....

    mom:  he's a cocker spaniel/poodle mix...a cockapoo.

    yes, i've recognized that 'i'm gonna get even' look in his bulging eyes, so I keep him behind a closed door in my office while i sleep! lol...you oughtta hear him growl!

  • mom said on May 24, 2007....
    He is so sweet.  LOL, I am sure he probably sounds like a gremlin or a munchkin when he growls. I have a Shih Tzu and he looks like yours when he is shaved and he has a growl that sounds hilarious.
  • Lioness said on May 25, 2007....
    SL, I honestly think his long hair suits him best. =) Yeah, it'll grow back in time.

    Ohh.. there he goes again.. He poses better than I do! Arrggggh!
  • mom said on May 25, 2007....
    lol, yeah and he looks better in short hair than I do.
  • Lioness said on May 25, 2007....
    lol mom, he can go bald and still look better in picture than I do!  Good thing I can't see his dimples.
  • Dicconzane said on May 25, 2007....
    Hehe. Reminds me of my dog whilst she was still with us.
     
    As for getting even... I'm sure he'll find something suitable to chew soon enough.
  • redrocks said on May 25, 2007....
    mom!  what did you do?  He's SO UGLY!!!!

    I can't imagine how guilty u felt!!!
    Be cool!! hair will grow soon!!
  • ErinTryin2bStrong said on May 25, 2007....

    Secret, he's still GORGEOUS! All I hope it's not winter over there, he might catch a cold, if it's summer I'm sure he'll appreciate it ;) ~ Erin

  • evil_twin said on May 25, 2007....
    Hey, I think he looks just fine! I see dogs like that all the time. It's the new look in canine this season. Trust me. He'll fit in with the other dogs at the park. And like other have said, he'll be more comfortable when it gets warmer.

  • flytimes said on May 25, 2007....
    lmao that pic is sooo cute and all the above words soo funny. when i saw the title "shaved" i was expecting something else..:( fly ;)
  • secretsubmission said on May 27, 2007....
    Hey secret, don't feel bad it's better than what my dog's groomer and I call stupid as hair cuts in ref to the ass out furry vested cuts people have done to their poodles. For some wierd reason they think it is sooo cute but I always think how stupid would I feel walking around with just my ass out and leg warmers on. So I always get my toy poodle the teddy bear cut or the cut your dog has now and I think she likes it.
