Funny Looking Dog

So I eluded to this a few days ago, but we had to shave all Bentley's hair off because he was getting all kind of mats. I attribute this to #1. we've been cutting the dogs' hair ourselves and while Bella really doesn't mind (okay, she probably doesn't like it, but at least she holds still), Bentley puts up quite a fight, so we don't do as good of a job on him, and #2. they were both stuck in their kennel for 24+ hours (aside from potty breaks) while we drove down to Texas.

At any rate, here's what he looked like before:

Pretty handsome, I have to say. :)

And here is the poor puppy this week:

I've been calling him Chicken because he looks like he has chicken legs. :) Big fluffy head and feet with skinny little legs. Hopefully, it won't take too long to grow back. And yes, we've learned our lesson and he will be going back to a professional groomer from now on. (I think we'll still do Bella ourselves, though.) Between our inexperience and Bentley's general discomfort, it took us over 2 hours Sunday night. Whew!

Gotta be fair, here are some other pics of both puppies.
