I've been deceived!

All this while i thought I had a Yorkie/Apso a la freaking mutt! This was Lenie about a month after i got him. Ignore the dirty floor, my imaginary maid failed to show up that day. You best believe he was fired! Lenie loved his little cow toy, he used to sleep with it back then.


This is Lenie last month after i did a hack job on his face. It was supposed to be a "trim", but let's just say Thank God you can't see his face. He's still a cutie though. I love his curls, he looked like a teddy bear. You need to see him dance with all the hair, he's the cutest.
Have you guys heard the saying that ignorance is a disease? I hope you believe it cos it's true.

So i decided to do the responsible thing and take him to the groomer, even though i had vowed never to do that again. The last time i took him there in December, i ended up spending $61 and i was very dissatisfied with how he looked. I don't have that kind of money to be throwing away.

Anyway, after giving him the hack job of a hair cut in April, he sort of grew into it, but i decided to bath him 2 weeks ago, and i let him air dry which i have never done before. I usually don't brush him regularly cos his hair is so silky and hardly ever gets tangled. Somehow, somehow sha, his hair got matted on his ears. I was able to comb one ear out, but couldn't get the matt out of the other ear.

So i got to the groomer and they asked me how short i wanted his hair, long and short of the story was i asked for a summer cut or rather i agreed to a summer cut. Hmm! After 5 freaking hours, i got a call to come get Lenie. I was missing the little guy. Everything just felt weird without him in the house. I rush down there, and was once again! shocked at the $51 bill i had to pay. When they finally brought my dog, i did a double take. The girl was rushed cos it was almost 6pm and she was grooming another dog, so i looked at the dog that she brought for me carefully cos i didn't believe that was my dog. The dog was so eager to leave and just pulled me out of the store, but when i got outside i had to stop and make sure it was my dog o! I couldn't believe what i was seeing.


This can't be Lenie! This is a freaking rat-chihuahua looking dog!!!!!! Apparently, summer cut means to shave the hell out of the dog, God forbid there's an inch of hair left. Here's the kicker, she left the tail all fluffy, exactly as it was when his body was full of hair. I was too shocked to notice that little tidbit until i got home.

Check out the fluffy tail. He was as miserable as he looked in that picture. I guess it takes some getting used to looking like a rat-chihuahua!

Dude was so ready to get to bed. I guess it's easier to forget how you look like when you are asleep. I'm still getting used to him looking like a lizard/weird looking mammal. Who knew that underneath all that fluffy hair was a whole nother scary looking animal. My dog doesn't look good without hair, but i bet he'll thank me for it when it gets really hot, and trust me it's disgustingly hot in the summer in ATL. I do like the way his face was cut though, he's still a cutie.
