Collie is BALD!!!

We sent Collie to the groomers yesterday cause his fur and nails were getting too long. So the groomer came to pick him up at 11am and he was off. Honestly, I was more worried for the groomer than Collie as I knew how aggressive Collie gets when bathing and cutting nails. If Collie killed the groomer, then he would have to be put down, and that would suck!

Then at around 3.30pm, I heard the van driving in and sure enough, it was the groomer's van. I could not wait to see what has become of Collie. Then he emerged from the van, all white and bald. It was hilarious. He looked terribly skinny, and seemed also embarrassed! I thought he looked like a white Doberman too. And his ears, which used to look puny, where the most prominent thing on his body now. Beiru was right, he looked indeed like a RAT. It kinda felt like the groomer returned a different dog also.

The weirdest thing was, the groomer told us that he did not struggle or bite when they were bathing and shaving him. WHAT?!?! The only way that could happen was if they had tranquilised him. And they didn't. It was a miracle. The groomer said that we were probably too soft on Collie, so he thought he could kinda 'bully' us. Argh, that stupid dog. Should have been firm with him from the start! Now, as advised by the groomer, we hit his snout with a rolled up newspaper if he bites. It is amusing when he slightly tilts his head and closes his eyes to brace for the newspaper whack.

So anyway here are some before and after pictures of Collie. Oh, if you're wondering why is there a chain around Collie's neck, it is because while I was in Australia, he got really naughty so my parents decided to confine him to a spot in our house. We should have done that since he was a puppy according to an article I read. We really screwed up big time raising Collie and now, he's a reprobate.

AFTER: They didn't shave his face so it looks like he's wearing a mask

Collie's violent streak

Collie bites. Literally. Did I mention that he scratches as well? I got scratched and bitten by him a few times. Beats me why he's become so aggressive, especially so, after I came back from Australia. Absence makes the heart fonder so they say. Maybe Collie's feelings manifests in aggression.

It must be qualified though, that Collie is not "rabid" aggressive, he's more "barky barky, come play with me, dammit" aggressive.

Me scaredy doggie. Doggie bitey bitey.

Shaun came over today and Collie slobbered all over his arm. While he was entertaining Collie, Collie was good enough to be quiet and drooly. But when the both of us stepped back and looked at Collie, he started barking and growling again, albeit with a wagging tail. Strange, dogs.

Anyone want to get piercings? Collie will help, free of charge. For Pubic piercings, appointments need to be made prior.
