Mus-Mus; groomed, to his mom's requirements

Mus-Mus (pronounced as Moose-Moose). A rescued Shih-Tzu. He was almost crushed by his rescuer's car. After posting up notices, and waiting for the phone call that never came, his rescuer passed him over to his current and permanent owner. He's blind in one eye, and half-blind in the other. He is also going deaf... Poor old guy...

Doesn't he remind you of CJ7?

Mus-mus going through the grooming process. He's always very stiff while grooming. As though he's petrified of me. We don't know what his history is, but i find this behaviour very common among puppy-mill (read puppy factory) dogs. Sometimes, we wonder if he was used as a breeding machine when he was younger, and then dumped on the street when he got too old to be of any profit making machine. Mus-Mus, if that be true, then on behalf of all humans, I am very very sorry.

De-matting his head... See how he leans away from me? I try to be as gentle as possible, and I still get the same reaction. Poor dude.

End result. Having a shake.
