not a happy bunny

Today, Jinks went to the dog groomer. I didn't tell him he was going (honest!) but when it was time to leave and I called him to put his harness on, he went and hid under the dining table. So I had to tempt him out with a piece of best Cheddar.

He was happy to see the lady dog groomers (two of them) but when I collected him I had to help them with him and still they were unable to do his feet as he became uncontrollable (I kid you not).

Anyway I think he now looks like a cross between a teddy bear, a chihuahua and a rat.

But it was really necessary as he's increasingly cantankerous when I groom him. So my consolation is that he won't need trimming for ages and I shall easily manage him when he does need a little tidy up.

A dog's life!!!!!

[Julie Duncan]

Sweetie face! :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Aww, he looks really pretty. Cute shot.

[Faye Turner]

Dogs are so smart! My dog knows when I'm up to something! They sense it!
Such a cute capture!

[Boxplayer]

Very sweet.

[Lindy]

Well he looks very handsome now. Fortunately for me my pup thinks grooming is a bit of a game.

He has been Framed great pic

[Babs]

Jinks has certainly got sixth sense. funny how animals always seem to know when they are on their way to somewhere they know they won't like. He looks a very handsome chappie now though and love the framing.

[wendy frost]

A sweet expression and he looks so smart. A great capture

[Tammy]

Aww. I just love his innocent little face!

[Nita]

My goodness! He looks like such a sweetheart who would know he'd react like that to grooming. Is he a happy to be groomed once it is over? Our dog always had a "I look great" after grooming.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I know how he feels when I come home from a haircut wondering what possessed me to tell her to cut it shorter.

[Julie Urbahn]

Oh very cute. Great capture and I really like the framing.

[Richard Hickey]

Wonderful picture. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Sian B]

So cute- nice framing! Fav

[David Nicholls]

Lovely doggie picture. It is exactly the same reproachful expression that my Bella puts on when I tell her its dog grooming time.

@sansjuan

Nita, shall we just say that Jinks definitely has a mind of his own! When I trim him myself there's a point when the growling gets to a certain pitch and I know I have to put the muzzle on him! He's a great little dog but have to know how to treat him!

[*lynn]

What a look he is giving you! poor baby!

[Kane Arlow]

Always a big fave for Jinks, he looks very handsome with the new do.

[Pat Knowles]

He obviously thinks he looks alright as he is.........such a sweet face ...he could get away with murder!

[Hazel]

@happypat

Ha! You have it in one, Pat - he DOES (get away with murder, well nearly!)

[Margaret Brown]

Bless he has sixth sense!

[Hazel]

Thanks for all your message, comments and the favs for Jinks' photo. I think he's feeling recovered after plenty of tlc, extra treats, long walks etc today. I still hardly recognise his little 'shorn' face!!!

[Pyrrhula]

If a look good kill. I don`t blame him. I got the same for a dentist.

[Michelle]

So cute! Glenda won't like the groomer touch her feet. I ask the vet to trim her toes since she doesn't like going there anyway.

[Claire]

Naughty Jinks, he should enjoy being pampered. He looks a little surprised here, like the lead. Has he forgiven you now? ;0)
