Haircut

At an animal shelter, I groomed dogs that were in unadoptable condition. They called to groom a shizu that had been abused and neglected. I gave her an extreme haircut. When I was done, she looked like a different dog. I fell in love, but I wasn’t there to adopt. She ran out of time, and they called me to let me know.

I wrestled myself and brought her home. She hid under my couch for a week. I groomed my other dog, and the sound of the razor lured her out. She remembered her positive experience at the shelter.
