Bella's Make-Over

Every two months, Bella goes to her favorite place.... the groomer!!!! Actually, it is her least favorite place. She never complains and Roxanne (the groomer) says Bella is very well behaved, but Bella does tremble and get nervous every time we take her.
This morning, I decided to capture some before pictures to show what a total transformation Bella goes through when she is at the groomers. We are always amazed at how totally different Bella looks after a trip to Roxanne's.
Our furry little pooch was especially in need of a bath since she had climbed into the dishwasher and gotten some chicken curry sauce on her forehead the night before. We didn't bother to clean it up since we knew Roxanne would be giving her a cut and blow-out today.


But we were not prepared for just how DIFFERENT Miss Bella was going to look today.


You are going to be shocked.....


I'm serious....



Wait for it....



Wait....



WWWWWAAAAIIIIIITTTTTT....




Here is the after. Are you shocked?? I did a double-take on this hair-do. If it weren't for the "Bella" tag on her collar, I seriously wouldn't recognize her. Turns out, she had matted ear hair, so Roxanne had to cut her once flowing white ear hair short.
Miss Bella now has bangs. Not sure that I like them, but Roxanne said we would have to be more careful about combing the hair on her ears while we wait for it to grow back out into the cute bob again.
Her fur is incredibly soft and she smells great (for now). But boy, she looks strange, and kind of homely.

BEFORE and AFTER... one word WOW!

Look at that sad face.... I think she misses her long flowing ear hair, too. Sorry to tell you this Bella, but growing out your bangs is not a fun experience. Trust me... been there, done that.
