Fuzzy Wuzzy Had No Hair.

BEFORE

Well, Sage had her first hair cut experience today... and I cried! She had not been really groomed in a while because of the incision from getting fixed. Therefore they could not really do anything else, but cut it REALLY short, because her fur was really matted. The weird part is they still left it really long on her tail. I was really upset to see her looking so scary, so I just started crying. But, the good news is that it will grow back. I just hope it grows back FAST! I want my cute, cuddly, furry Sage back.
