{guess who went to the groomer?!}

Filed Under: the pup

Last Monday Mr. Bauer had himself an appointment at the groomer. And — turns out he loved it! I think it was all the attention that made him feel like he was at home *wink*. I know I’m biased, but how darling does he look? I can hardly stand it. When I picked him up and saw he was wearing a red bandanna I about died. It was too much. We had one “rule” when I dropped him off ~ do not shave him. I think they did a handsome job :] OH HIS EARS. I have kissed them a thousand times since last Monday. Bauer is the best pup ever. So spirited and brave. My hero ♥.

More pictures from this day coming soon — stay tuned!

    Are you sure this is the same dog? He looked way bigger before! Very nice cut tho :) We have to shave our lab/newfoundland mix in the summer because it gets way too hot for him. He is a 100lb fattie and looks so bad shaved, but we love him anyway and try not to tease him too much :) He is so pretty with fur… it pains me to do it to him, but he acts so happy without the big heavy winter coat so I guess I can deal with the weird looking dog for a few months haha.

      i know, right?! they cut about 2″ of hair off of him, i think tha’s what makes him look so much smaller. he looks more like a puppy now (11 months old), more like he did when we first adopted him. AHHH. precious Bauer. zack and i just talked last night about how we may have to keep his hair short like this in the summer. he gets so hot here, and let’s just admit it ~ Bauer can get real hairy. hah!

    he looks like one of those dogs you write a book about.
    i think you should have fabric made with him on it and make some limited gussy bags.
    i know they would sell.
    Everyone loves dogs.

    He looks so handsome! A friend of mine recently shaved her dog for the summer, and now he looks like a lion. It’s pretty funny, but I think my husband would kill me if I even touched the hair on our dogs. They don’t have long fur, just thick, but still. ;)

    I’m not an expert, but we have a neighbor who recently got a similar dog and was thoroughly disgusted with the job the groomer did (she found out she’d asked for the wrong kind of cut). I couldn’t really tell at the time, but seeing your photos I understand better now. That is to say, I can tell your dog had a more flattering cut.

    Oh he’s so adorable! He looks so happy about being all spiffy.
    It looks like you may have visited Grand Groomers. That’s where we go, and I love them! They always do such a good job with our Schnoodle, Gidget.
    …and beautiful photography as always.

    OH~My~Goodness~Gracious!
    Passing out over the cuteness!
    How PROUD does Bauer look of his new COOL~DUDE handsome self!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Yeah for Bauer!
    He loved the GROOMERS!!!!!!!!!
    I’m sure you didn’t tell him Doogan gets treated to a McDonald’s cheese burger after the groomers!
    Ah….haha! ;o)
    We LOVE to snuggle Doogan when he gets home from the GROOMERS!!!!!!!
    Bauer is ADORABLE!
    Whoever said they “usually think those kind of dogs are UGLY!”
    Well….I just don’t get it!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Ummmmm excuse me!!!!!
    First of all…why do you even write a comment like that!!!!!!!!!!
    {I’m sorry…but that didn’t sit well with me.}
    Secondly….dogs as cute as Bauer are a RARity!!!!!
    My mom~sister and I have spent our whole lives looking for dogs with faces like Bauers!!!!!!!
    Maybe that’s why DISNEY always uses dogs that have the same look as Bauer in their movies!!!!!!!
    Bauer is a one in a MILLION!
    Doogan and I LOVE LOVE LOVE his look!
    And his mama!!!! ;o)
    Happy WAGS to you and Zack and Bauer Boy!
    Hugs and LOVE!

    How stinkin’ cute is he? I understand you smooching him! We have a Jack Russell/Beagle mix and a Hound/Airedale mix. Those so-called mutts are the best! BTW, I am so glad you told them not to shave him. Most dogs, but especially Nordic breeds, must not be shaved. It’s their built-in air conditioner! Just found that out recently from a friend who rescues wolfdogs. My boys are wanting to adopt a Husky or Shepherd mix from her (the low-content dogs).
