Dad Tried To Cut Costs On Dog’s Grooming And Wound Up With A ‘Rat On Meth’

Josh Pitruzzella and his adorable dog Mimi are making waves across the internet for the silliest reason possible.

Mimi might be 11 years old, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love looking fabulous. In fact, Josh and his family usually get the happy shih tzu a fancy haircut when her fur gets a bit too out of control.

While $150 for a doggie haircut might seem a bit over the top, this particular family wants their little fur baby to feel confident in herself. So as long as they can afford to splurge a bit for their dog, they'll keep her looking quite fashionable!

But one day, Josh's father decided he was going to save a bit of money. Instead of spending $150 on a fancy haircut, his dad thought he came up with a nice little loophole that would get the same result, but for only $35.

He told the groomer to "shave everything but the ears and the tail!"

When Josh saw Mimi, you can imagine his shock. Little Mimi, usually so fashion-forward, was now looking like what Josh described as "a rat on meth!"

Since Josh posted little Mimi on his Twitter, her angry face has gone viral. Even though she's not looking as stylish as usual, maybe she'll actually start her own trend, and soon enough people will be demanding "The Mimi" for their dogs: "Shave everything but the ears and tail!"

Make sure to check out Mimi's hilarious before and after pictures if you love to laugh!

Mimi is a beautiful 11-year-old shih tzu who loves her humans very much. She gets plenty of walks, nice food to eat, and a nice new haircut every couple of months!

While her human, Josh, loves to get Mimi the very best, $150 can be a bit expensive for a hair cut! So Josh's dad finally came up with a brilliant idea to save money while still keeping Mimi's hair looking great.

Josh's dad would ask the groomer just to shave everything off except the ears and the tail. This would look more or less exactly like Mimi's expensive hair cuts, but at only $35.

Unfortunately, the dog groomer followed the directions she was given much to her dismay. She knew it was going to look a bit odd, and she tried to explain that to the dad. But eventually the groomer had to give up and do what the customer asked. You know how they say the customer is always right!

While her haircut might not be the most perfect thing in the world, Mimi is still a beautiful dog and still deserves the huge amount of love she gets from her humans. Even if they do make fun of her a bit!
