The warm weather is coming and the dogs are furry and matted. Grooming is a must before summer gets here. Last week I groomed my first victim and now he looks totally different. Oliver was first in line and its a dramatic change for him.
Fluffy Oliver not sure whats coming.
The first day of grooming went pretty well. I shaved down his whole body and got most of his legs done. I decided to not start on his because I was tired and I know he gets feisty when i groom his head.
Let me tell you, he is not an easy dog to groom. Especially, the face. He is a wiggle worm and doesnt stop trying to jump off the grooming table. Also, he hates the dog shaver near his face. As you can see I was able to get one side of his face done but not the other.
He has half a schnauzer looking muzzle.
He still is cute.

A few days later I decided to tackle the rest of his face. Instead of using the dog shaver I decided to use scissors. He cooperated better but still wiggled a lot.
With no hair left he buried under my bed covers to keep warm.
Vampire Oliver wants some bwood.
Even though he looks totally different he still is cute!

The finished product. Yes, its the same dog.
Now that I’m used to the shaved-down look, I forgot how cute he was with hair. Love the half-muzzle pix–lol. Great photos!
Oliver? Looks more like a black eye pirate Joe. I am always amazed at how skinny they get after grooming.
