Lexi is MAD!
Well summer is here and it's very hot out. I decided to shave Lexi down some so she could be a little cooler. Little did I know that she had become such a prima donna that she would be so upset. We shaved only her body and left everything else long. She likes having her hair up in a pony tail. Little did I know that she would prefer all of her hair long as she was shaved down when I got her. I guess I spoiled her so much that she like being brushed everyday. She will not take any treats from me, she doesn't meet me at the door when I get home from work. It has been 3 days.
Finally today (4th day) she took a treat from me. I will never shaved her down again.
She is now sporting a tank top until her hair grows out again. It seems to help some.
I guess it's like going bald all in 1 day, that could be very upsetting to us. It didn't occur to me that Lexi cared so much about having long hair. I just hope the trust comes all the way back. I feel just horriable.

LOL! I get the silent treatment from Roxie every single summer, three times during the summer, for the last 7 years... But, for her, shaving down during the summer keeps her skin healthy and it keeps her from overheating herself as she enjoys laying out in the sun. Just for fun, I shave Emmalou down as well, leaving her with a cute little lion's tail!
I've found, over the years, that I might get the silent treatment for a few days but overall my girls enjoy having the shorter hair over the heated summers. I haven't had issues with hot spots or other skin irritations since I started shaving them...
Barks for now,
Carla - Mom to Emma & Roxie

I'm sure she will get over it. I had one yorkie who hated having short hair. When we had him groomed short he hid under the bed for days (only coming out to eat, drink, and go for walks). He did get over it, and I NEVER cut him short again.
Sounds like you did spoil her and she likes being spoiled!
