hahahahahahahaha.
FWIW, PetSmart has always done a good job on Lou when he gets groomed. They might have a tendency to upsell me on things that he doesn't need that they know I'll buy because I'm a sucker for my dog, but he always comes out looking for a handsome shmave.
On the update, he's moving around very well...too well. Every time I let him out of the crate he hops and jumps and wants to play. Which is a good sign I suppose, but given how this reoccurs I'm trying to come up with ways to let him out of the crate that produce less anxiety and such. It's heartbreaking seeing him on the Furbo during the day when he's alone, but when I'm next to him on the airmattress, he's perfectly fine.
Lot of MLB the Show and sitting with the Lou this weekend, which I'm more than ok with.
