Grooming Gone Wrong.

The look on that dog's face is a silent, yet frantic, "I live at 55467 North Cyress Terrace... please come and get me...PLEASE."

It's all about the owner and their selection of breed speaks volumes.

It took me about half the page before I realized it was the same woman torturing the same dog. Repeatedly. Jesus.

A few references to products that wash out encouraged me to believe that common sense is involved in the thought process that leads to such canine visual confections.
However, the idea that Elmer's glue washes out--maybe it does, but that can't be simple or brief, as grooming goes. Perhaps the lady would like to try this wash-out tip (#7) on the dog. Might want to wear the welder's gloves when she does...

I had to hold my dog and tell him everything will be alright.

Wow, this is awesome. I would have never thought to airbrush a wicked bit of art on the side of a dog, but the 3-D effect of shaving odd bits and bobs as well is taking it to a whole other level.
This is like that woman with the ugly sweater collection, but ten times better because it's not ironic and silly but someone that loves something they do and is pushing boundaries doing it (like any other geek obsession).

This is why poodles are nasty, bad tempered dogs who will randomly bite you.

Look beyond the silly haircuts. Standard poodles are awesome dogs. Smart, hard-working, loyal and friendly.
Also, I'm not a big fan of this sort of thing but that Ninja Turtle look is awesome.

That TMNT dog should have had a candid camera following it around town after the show/contest; the reaction shots would have been priceless.

There are very special occasions that the word obscene is reserved for and this is one of them. That grooming is obscene.
Thanks for the fun I'm ashamed of having looking at those awful images.

It took months of fund raising by the house cats of America to pay for these photoshoots.
These are great, though I think most dogs would hide under the bed once they saw the airbrush equipment being hauled out.
My favorite was the rooster/dog, especially the feet.

That's animal abuse -- and I thought the Gothic kittens and this were evil enough...animals don't need that -- they are cute enough on their own...

This has been on my to-do list for a long time: get a Standard Poodle, give it the fancy-pantsiest foo-foo haircut imaginable, and train it for a protection sport like Schutzhund. "Fifi! Attaque!"

And there I was with this cynical feeling that there really was no such magazine as Groomer To Groomer .
Never mind the any Barkleigh Awards.

I feel like a child-molester just putting a sweater on my dog, but... wow that TMNT haircut/airbrush/costume was fucking amazing!
PS - It's "schultzhund" and its even better with an 80s hair metal soundtrack.

Wait, disregard previous spelling correction, but reaffirm THE METAL!
Schutzhund also available in overly bombastic techno.

Yes, Elmers glue washes out. I used to use it for that "Robert Smith" look back in the 80s. Food coloring and Jell-O can also be used as hair care products. (These kids today, with their Manic Panic. Why back in my day...)

Well, the hyena-dog is great, and the zebvra looks pretty decent, but... the dude in the background in blackface? Kind of ruins the Africa theme, you think?

That was offensive, and I don't think of dogs as being much more than really complex tools. Still, really offensive.

I'd prefer the schutzhund for personal protection; my "Schultzhund" sees a burglar and does the "I see noth-ing!" bit.

Hey, you know what this means when designer DNA becomes accessible and affordable. The sort of domesticated dogs we have today are the result of many generations of careful breeding, and the results aren't always great. Soon, people will get whatever they want out of their selection of genes. We're going to end up with fucking peacock dogs and other ridiculous stuff, poodles with real camel humps instead of colored and shaped fur. Purse dogs, which will be dogs with large pouches written into their DNA, so insane women can buy them as fashion accessories and put their keys and change in them. And stuff will get lost in there, and you can see where this is going ...
