Fuzzy Perms and dogs

Have you ever got a perm and then looked into the mirror to find out you looked like fuzzy wuzzy? Now this is okay for my curly dog, Icarus. He's supposed to look like fuzzy wuzzy. But I'm not!
So I finally get the courage to return to the beauty shop where I turned into fuzzy wuzzy. They all looked at me and more or less gasped. Now I have to wonder how many people who looked at me shopping at the grocery store turned around and said, "Oh my gawd! That poor woman. Look at her hair!"
On the other hand, had I been Icarus with his cute curls, they'd have said, "Isn't he a cute little teddybear?"
So today, the beauty shop pities me and gave me a treatment to condition my fuzz. And they dye my hair so the golden fuzz doesn't show. Then I'm put under a dryer because blow drying isn't good for me for at least a week. I return home no longer a fuzz head. Nope. Now I'm a shorter version of "FLAT HEAD."
And you wondered why I have no photo? Now you know.
