Louie got sheep sheered and he is mad at me again - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**Rocks** · 02-21-2013, 09:17 AM

I had to take Louie to a groomer. I was quite sick for over a month and wasn't able to keep up with his brushing and combing but he at least got his baths. His matting got pretty bad well beyond what I could fix myself so I took him to a groomers. His fur on his body is so short that it looks like they only gave me back 1/3rd of the dog I brought in. His grooming was yesterday and he has not spoken a word to me since. He has been hiding and won't even come out for treats. I have to put baby carrotsand small bowls of food where he is hiding so he'll eat and drink. How long do Malties hold a gurdge after being stripped naked? I had his teeth done as well and he smell real good now, (not that he stunk before) I'll get pictures of him if he ever comes out of hiding, he just keep looking at me with accusing eyes.

Poor Louie!
Tell him Auntie Sandi has come home from the human groomers like that a few times! I know exactly how he feels.
"Hey Louie, it's ok, we still love you!"

Ceasar used to pout after grooming, but by the next day he was over it! Rocco would be somewhat embarrassed for a day or two. Maybe he is embarrassed.

Aw Louie! Let Daddy get a picture of your new do.. Nothing could keep you from being a cutie.

Louie, we know you're still a handsome, tough dude. Come on out, there's guard dogging to be done.

Poor Louie. Some fluffs really hate it and I guess Louie is one of them. It will take a little bit but he will come around. It will be easier now for you to keep up with the brushing.....it truly is a part time job.....lol. Take pics when you can.

After I "sheep sheared" Ray he was a wreck. He wasn't mad at me, just sort of disoriented and COLD. He has been wearing a sweater or a hoodie ever since. Did you put a sweater on Louie?

I honestly do not believe that dogs get angry and hold a grudge. They live in the moment, and in this moment he just feels cold and odd.

**Snowbody** · 02-21-2013, 01:25 PM

I think he might really be cold and just need to have a sweater on or be wrapped in a blanket. Or he might was Lady Gaga's outfit. The one with the meat all over.

I'm sure he'll come around.

You know, people save their dog's shaved hair and knit with it..... Maybe you should have asked to keep it and knit him a sweater

LOL

Poor Louie.... Your Daddy loves you.... it'll be okay.

ok here is one sheep sheered Louie Dog. I tried to get better pictures but he refused to say cheese. He really needed clipped short because I was under the weather for quite some time and he got matting real close to the skin. Between his rolling in snow, rolling in the garage and everything else this little monster gets into I had no choice but to start from scratch.

here is what was hiding under that mass of wildness:

Here is one with a cat butt included,

Here is the rest of the cat, Miss Boo, my little darling.
