Daisy and her "Fierce" Makeover

Daisy has been way over due for a grooming, like almost 5 months over due and the dog hair dust bunnies have been overrunning my house (in a direct competition with the ants for supreme dominance of the Riggs house). She had an appointment on Sunday so before we left Emma gave her a Giant's style tackling and a mouth-to-mouth kiss (I know it's sick but I can't control them) and we were out the door. This time the groomer convinced me to try a "schnauzer cut" instead of the "terrier cut" she normally gets. Basically she is shaved all over (about 6 inches of hair gone!) except for some bushy old man eyebrows and a beard (picture coming soon).

I picked Daisy up, bought her some treats and told her how beautiful (and hairless) she was. When we arrived home Emma met us at the door, as she had been asking where Daisy had gone. Daisy walked in the door and was met with shear terror. Emma did not recognize her and screamed in absolute fear of her best friend. It was so sad. I think it hurt Daisy's feeling because up until that point she was feeling sassy and confident about her new look.

Emma kept her distance from Daisy and would only refer to her as "dog." It took all night feeding Daisy, letting Daisy outside, yelling at Daisy for barking (of course), and playing with Daisy's toys to convince Emma that the ugly thing I came home with was her beloved fur-ball Daisy.

This morning they were back to their old tricks and all was peaceful again. Not sure if we will go with the schnauzer look again :)
