I don’t have any pets anymore, but back in the day grooming my dear dog was one of my favorite things to do. It was a nice bonding moment, mostly because she hated it, so holding her down established some very clear boundaries between us (meaning she would later shit on my floor in retaliation, and I would clean it up like the slave that I was). The nice part was watching her prance around the neighborhood after she was freshly groomed, getting attention from every fraidy old lady with two functioning eyes in her head, and then barking at any and all children. I only drunkenly cut my dogs hair once, and I accidentally nipped her ear. Fun fact: dogs bleed a lot. I learned my lesson from that one experience, but the groomers in this American dog grooming competition clearly missed that memo. I can’t tell if these hairstyles are fashionable, fugly or legitimate animal abuse.
You be the judge.
