First Grooming @ 16 weeks

Bella met with Cori, a groomer at Petsmart, this evening for the first time. She was shaking so much when I handed her over and also after she had a bath. I paid for expedited grooming so Bella would not have to stay in a cage, wait to be groomed, and picked up 2.5 hours later as her first experience. Instead, I was able to pick her up about 35 minutes later. I watched the groomer trim her hair and cut her nails. Bella seemed to relax a bit and even kissed the groomers face several times. Cori attached a cute little bow on top of her head. Everyone that walked by commented on how cute she was and a manager at the store said he had to go in there to get some kisses.

Cori said that Bella has a smooth coat like a chihuahua but with some length like a Shih Tzu (although definitely not as long). She said she thought she had an apple head and snout like a Chihuahua and eyes like a Shih Tzu. I tend to agree with that analysis.

Below are some pictures of her after the grooming.







Probably the only picture I will ever get of the doggie crew together.
