The Babes Get Haircuts

Pete and Annabelle have been professionally groomed since they were puppies and seem to enjoy it. They get spunky after a good haircut. It's almost like they know they look good. They got their final haircuts from their longtime groomer, Barb, the morning they traveled to Atlanta. She seemed to love them and I know they loved her.

Since then, Justin and I have searched high and low for a groomer in Atlanta. They are more expensive up here! We emailed, called, and visited some shops, but ultimately decided to use Petsmart Grooming. The price was about what some of the other shops we called were charging, but the convenience of last minute appointments was nice. They also groom on Saturdays, which is fantastic for us. I also like that they have windows so you can watch them shave and trim the dogs, so you know they're probably not mistreating them (at least during the haircut). Annabelle spotted us during her haircut, but didn't act-up or anything. We were so pleased.

Their appointments were Saturday. They've been spending a lot of time outside and Annabelle really smelled. Their hair was also getting pretty long. I don't have any before shots, but Justin and I are pleased with the results. When we dropped them off, we were told that it could take three to four hours. I hated the idea of them being in kennels for long periods of time, but I sucked it up. I was so pleased when we received a phone call after two hours that the babies were ready!

They looked so good and smelled even better! They were so happy to see us, too! I couldn't get a good picture, but you can get the idea from these:

We had them trim Pete's ears shorter than usual since she's so short and they get in her food and water. She looks like a puppy again.
After we got home, both dogs got out of the carrier and darted around the house for a few minutes. Pete got back in the carrier and just sat there. She loves the carrier (or container as my mother calls it).
