We have a new volunteer with the Humane Society who is a dog groomer, she volunteers to take a look at George and see if she can get him evened out a little. I load George up and off we go.
Cathy takes one look at George and winces. While whoever tried to trim George before hacked all the hair off his back they left mats all over his tummy and butt. She also finds stickers embedded in George's fanny. Poor baby!
Cathy starts clipping George down and is shocked with the amount of dirt stuck in him. After the first clip we convince George to walk up the ramp and get in the tub. Wow! It's solid mud in the tub! It becomes apparent that Cathy is a perfectionist. She scrubs and scrubs and then spends 30 minutes blowing George dry. Just when I think we're in the home stretch she says he needs clipped again and then hand trimmed.To get all the stickers out of his tush Cathy has to clip him almost bald. George now has baboon butt! When we get done George is pewter colored with black spots! I think his top coat will grow back in glossy black but what a weird undercoat. It takes 3 hours but we leave with George looking odd but better and smelling great!
