Is that my dog? Poor Dooder!

So,I've been a not so good pet parent to my poor Coton De Tulear, Dude or as we affectionately call him Dooder. He is normally a fluffy long haired dog, but when he blew his baby hair coat, I didn't keep up on him so great and he got really matted. He needed to be fixed as he kept humping my kids and his Lilo and Stitch doll. I figured it would be easiest to get him fixed and his mats shaved off while he was under anesthesia. I had tried to comb him and cut through his mats, but he was just not having it. I took him to the vet this morning and when I picked him up this afternoon I was shocked. This was not the dog I dropped off! I didn't expect them to shave his face and ears. All they left was the plume on his tail. I'm sure the poor thing is humiliated waking up with no nuts and no hair looking like a chihuahua or weiner dog. I didn't realize he was so skinny! I guess this way it will grow out even. I will be glad when he is looking a little fluffier again!
