Ahh...Spring has come. And with it matted dogs. A woman came in with a cocker spaniel last week. This dog had extreme mats. It's ears and legs were encased in hard cast like mats. It was a wonder the dog could move at all. It was a very time consuming and tedious job trying to get those ears and legs out of their prisons. The owner was not the person who let the dog get in this shape. In fact she had rescued the dog from the neighbor who had been neglecting the dog. She said she'd see how abused she was and couldn't stand it anymore so she became the new owner and first stop was my shop.

This is Hersey before. That is one of the whole ear mats that I'm holding.

This was a leg cast being removed.

And this is Hersey freed from her bonds. She was running around like she felt great and kept coming up and kissing me. It made me happy to have helped her.
