You Won't Believe How Different My Dog Looks After His Haircut

Who has photo proof of giving their dog a bad haircut? I'm putting together a gallery of the best/worst photos and I want yours! I have to fess up, When it came time to groom my dog for the first time I naively thought, I can do that. I was wrong. Sorry Fozzie, I ruined your street cred with just a few swipes of my electric buzzer. You went from a sweet, fuzzy teddy bear to Alf from the 90's (remember that show?) This time around I let a pro do the work and while it is waaaay better than my skills, Fozzie looks like a TOTALLY DIFFERENT DOG.

This is my buddy, our puppy Fozzie Theee Bear. He is almost a year old and let's just say he will never need hair plugs. This guy is a total fluff ball and I love it BUT I never knew that golden doodles can get matting. Sadly, matting did happen all over his chest and belly. So I had to do something. Here is what he looked like before:

Pretty hug-a-ble right? I mean, cuddle up to this guy after having a rough day and you hardly need to eat ice cream right out of the container. This is what he looked like when I picked him up from his first professional doggie haircut...they did a nice job but he is a totally different dog! I wasn't prepared for this LOL...

Although, I have to say it is waaaaaaay better than what I did to him a few months ago when I thought I had the skills to cut his hair myself. I don't know what I was thinking! I gave him a forehead, and I buzzed his nose! It was the WORST. I have to own it though...here was my handy work. Yes, I'm still taking appointments at my new side hussle Fozzie Bear Haircare...
