The Life and Times of Bella the Lovebug

What happened to me?!?

Two weeks ago my mom and dad took me over to PetSmart. I've only been there once before and the last time they took me, they dropped me off with some strange lady who gave me a bath and then made me stand very, very still while she did something to my fur. So I was a little nervous to go back there again, but excited too because there were so many people and other dogs around. This time, even though I wanted to explore around, they took me right back into that little room where there are big glass windows and tables and other people waiting with their dogs. I was really scared and didn't want to be left there alone!! :( While we were waiting, I overheard mom and dad talking with a lady that worked there. She said that I still had my puppy fur and that some of it was matted and that they might have to cut it all off!! My mom pleaded with them to leave my fur as long as they could and the lady said that they would try, but she didn't look optimistic. Then my mom and dad handed me over to the lady, waved good bye and they were gone! I was there for a really long time and the lady gave me a bath and cut my nails and used this really loud buzzing thing on my fur! I didn't really know what she was doing, but when she was done I was freezing cold!! When my mom came to pick me up, she looked at me like she didn't even know me!! I was mad at her for a while for leaving me there, but once we were home together cuddling for a while, I forgave her. She seemed upset when we were at home, though, and she kept saying "They cut all of your hair off!" All I know is that I was so cold that I was shivering, so my dad went out and got me really nice green sweater that I love to wear all the time now. My mom put a picture of me on the computer from right after we got back from Petsmart and one where I'm in my new sweater so you can see me in it!
