Boomer's 1st Haircut!

Boomer's hair has been LONG, in his eyes, messy...  just not looking good.  We had an appointment with Stylin' Paws up the street, but they have been closed due to the coronavirus.  So our next option was spending a fortune on a mobile pet groomer to come to house.  So we did... 

It was an interesting experience.  
So the lady came and took Boomer to their 'truck', and about an hour and a half later, she came back with him and explained that he was scared and she didn't cut his hair.  :(  She had done his ears, face, tummy and bottom (along with a good bath, etc.), but no cut around his body.  I said 'ok' and she was off...  but shortly after, I felt that I shouldn't have paid the full amount.  So I called the owner and talked with her.  I just didn't feel comfortable with it...

The owner was going to send the gal back in a couple hours to see if she could try it again...  
And she did and was able to cut Boomer.  And it's short!  I'm not 100% thrilled with it, but he smells better, he's SUPER soft and he's still cute... but I think we like the 'longer' look.  

Regardless, it's done, and we will continue with some sort of hair trim going forward...  but this was a good start. 

Some before... during... and after pics.

BEFORE - super shaggy, couldn't see his eyes

After just getting his eyes/face done...  body still shaggy, but blown out, which was super soft!

AFTER - better, but he doesn't look like the same dog!!!

Here's another pic...  just showing the difference.  He looks skinny now!!
