Charlie: Bobble Head Hair Cut

The last time we took Charlie to get groomed we promised him, “We will never do that to you again!”

Charlie's Last Haircut (a little grown out)

Unfortunately we did not live up to our promise. I had put off getting Charlie groomed for a long time. Truth be told I hate how they poof out and style poodles (I know that they have to be brushed out like that but Charlie just looks so goofy). Finally it was getting so hot and Charlie’s fur was getting out of control that we broke down and took him in. Poor Charlie… his fur had gotten so matted that they decided to shave his entire body. No worries though they didn’t shave his head. Ugh!

So Charlie went from looking like this

to looking like this (what I affectionately call Charlie Bobble Head)

Neither Ron nor I have ever owned a poodle or a dog before, so we did not realize that you were only supposed to bathe them once a month. It is going to be hard not to bathe a white dog who loves mud more than once a month! Anyway, we have learned our lesson: have our poodle professionally groomed and bathed once a month! And Charlie we promise we won’t do that again! The good news is Charlie loves being shaved & cool. He has so much more energy and is incredibly happy. So here’s to you, bobble head Charlie!
