I took matters into my own hands and groomed Chilly. I trimmed his fur...in a way, trimmed his nails, tried to brush his teeth, and gave him a bath. He then in turn gave me and the whole bathroom a bath.
Anyway, I forgot that I had to trim against the flow of fur until about half way through.
Yep, looks wrong.
His right side looks weird, uneven.
His left side looks much better until you reach the head because cutting the fur around his face is when I realized I was doing it wrong.
I had to stop, I couldn't make things better or worse. He looks pretty messed up now, and the fur on his belly and around his neck hasn't been trimmed much because I don't entirely trust myself.
To top it all off, I didn't use a proper grooming tool. The kit still hasn't arrived and it has missed so many delivery dates that Amazon won't give me another expected date.
I used a pair of scissors.
Note to self, never use scissors again.
I have seen lots of photos online of people grooming their dogs themselves and they are usually much worse. At least Chilly doesn't have bald patches! I wouldn't trim his fur too short because he has a double coat.
Look at him. What have I done?
ok, doesn't look too too bad.
Feels weird. When petting him on his right side you can feel how uneven it is.

Sorry, sorry, I'm not laughing at the look of your Chilly. He is so cute and beautiful. But his face on the first picture. It is so great. Tells it all like: I love you, but don't do that again.
