The groomer- take two...

[Toby]

While my adventure of bathing Toby in a bathing suit worked to keep him clean in between official groomings, I decided to give the pros another shot . On the advise of a lot of you, I decided to take the "worst dog ever " to a different groomer. I actually went to one of the large pet stores and am glad to say I was really impressed . I did forewarn the assigned groomer that apparently I have the worst dog and I was less than thrilled with his last experience . I gave her ample warning and gave her the opportunity to back out if she didn't have guts. She reassured me she could handle him . I even went a little earlier than the pick up time just to see him on the table. I was shocked!! There he was standing like a GOOD DOG! Had to do double take. Was I looking at Toby or at some other dog? Of course I am hiding behind display stands and ducking when he looked my way . I did not want to break her rhythm ! I saw occasional swipes at her but she just pointed a finger, said no and continued doing something else and then come back to that area. I saw her do this even before she saw me so it was not entirely a show for me. And it was just one girl !!! Not three people like last time holding him down! Now he is all clean and groomed and looks terrific .
