Petsmart Grooming Sucks

So, I feel horrible about this. I dropped Ms Lilli off yesterday at Petsmart to get groomed. The baby had puked on here earlier in the week and, well, we couldn't get all the hurl out of her fur. When I went in, the girl checking us in said that she had mats all over her butt and that they couldn't brush them out. Also, shampoo would get stuck in there and make her itch. She said she needed to shave her to get the mats out, but she'd blend the fur so it wouldn't look so bad. I knew she would have short hair...but not like this:

Before:

After:

She looks like a damn poodle now. I should have known they didn't know what they were doing when I asked the girl to give her a "Sheltie Cut", and she said "There is no such thing." Every other dog in the place was getting shaved too, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. The worst part about it is it isn't even a good cut. The hair on her face is uneven, there are bald patches (see her chest) where they cut too close, and parts where they didn't cut enough. It looks like Vivian got ahold of dad's clippers and gave her a haircut.

Needless to say, we will NEVER be going back to Petsmart in Tallahassee for grooming again.
