So almost a tradegy! Groomer story - please be warned. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

3pamperedpups · 07-26-2005, 05:23 AM

I took my Emily to a groomer today, I groom her myself because there isn't a decent groomer that I'm happy with but she puts up such a fight when I try to trim her nails I chickened out and decided to take her to the new groomers that's just opened nearby. They are a vet surgery and cat and dog boarders as well as a grooming salon.

Anyway, I went into the front reception and the lady asked if I wanted Emily's nails done there with me holding her or if I'd prefer she did them in the grooming room as I'd already explained that I had problems doing them and Emily can be snappy. I preferred someone else to hold her as I figured she might be less naughty without me there so the lady carried Emily off out the main door (I presumed) into a seperate room whilst I sat down to wait.

It seemed to be taking a long while so I stood up and happened to glance out of the front window onto the (busy) road outside and noticed Emily running across the dual carriage way!! OMG, everything went in slow motion but I managed to run after her screaming her name and luckily she froze after crossing the road twice and realised it was me and ran to me and crouched in front of me so I could pick her up. My heart was in my mouth!

It turns out that the grooming lady gave Emily to a man to take back to me rather than carry her back to me and, as I hadn't planned on her being walked anywhere) I had just put her collar and leash on instead of her harness so she had slipped out of it. I had no idea she would be leaving the grooming shop and I so wish I had put on her harness now. The lady turned out to be the owner (also the vet) and the man is her partner so you'd think they'd be a little more responisble.

I won't be taking any of my dogs to any more groomers ever again, I will have to just muzzle Emily next time I need to cut her nails. I just wanted to warn people to always put their dog's harness on even if you're only planning on going to the groomer and warn the groomer to keep your dog on their harness and leash if they plan to let them outside! I'm just so glad I happened to look outside at the right moment and I thank God as I think he must have been watching over us today!! We've all been for a nice walk now to recover.

What a scare! I'm sure you were shaken up big time over that. Thankfully you caught her and all is well.

sillyjacki · 07-26-2005, 05:27 AM

Wow! I'm so sorry that happened to you!

Babbie · 07-26-2005, 05:28 AM

OMG...that must have been really scary!! Poor Emily and poor you...you guys shouldn;t have to go through that

Thank God nothing serious happened to Emily...

DiOrGiRLy · 07-26-2005, 05:29 AM

OMG that was a close one. I'm glad she is ok just like skin kids it's hard to trust our furbabies with ANYONE.

centralnewyorki · 07-26-2005, 05:48 AM

Wow! That's scary. How irresponsible of them to let her get away from them. Thank goodness things didn't end differently. Glad to hear Emily is okay!

red98vett · 07-26-2005, 06:01 AM

HOLY C**P ! I Would have been SO scared SO PISSED ! What a terrible thing for them to do - they could have got your baby KILLED - Man - what on earth is wrong with people ?

I'm SO GLAD you were looking out the window and you did have an angel looking over you....Poor thing - you must have been shaking from fear - wow - I've heard it all now.

Brutus'mama · 07-26-2005, 06:02 AM

How horrible and scary! I'm glad she's okay!

maggiepie · 07-26-2005, 06:20 AM

I am so shocked!! I just would not have been able to contain myself had that been me!

Joy · 07-26-2005, 06:26 AM

OMG!! I would have been rippen mad! Did they ever say why your puppy was outside to begin with? There is just no excuse for something like that to EVER happen. It's just amazing you were looking out that window at that time. Sounds like Devine intervention to me too!! Extra hugs to you and your pup.

JCarlson2004 · 07-26-2005, 06:28 AM

OMG! I would have been FUMING!! I can't believe they were SO CARELESS!! I'm just glad your baby is ok!

lillissy82790 · 07-26-2005, 06:30 AM

omg !! i am so sorry to hear that!! i hope emily is doing okay!! i would be scared to death!!

MoGraceLiz · 07-26-2005, 06:42 AM

OMGoodness, I would have been furious. I'm so glad Emily is alright.

A little tip on the nail clipping. I have a couple that give me a hard time during the clipping so.....I take the nail clippers in the tub and while they are soaking wet, I clip the nails. They so concentrate on being wet and when will it end, that they don't even realize what is happening. This has certainly made the nail trimming much easier for us.

Again, glad everything is alright.

lily's mom · 07-26-2005, 06:50 AM

What a close call!!!!! I am so glad everything turned out ok!

ladyfaylyn · 07-26-2005, 06:53 AM

Okay, This really tee's Me off.

How Awful,I can't even imagine what could have happened if You had not seen it.I would have been yelling so loud Florida would have heard Me.Did You get a chance to tell Them how un-professional that is ?
You would think They would know to be careful after all that is a Vet !(A TRAINED PROFESSION)
I am sorry this happened and I am so happy it ended well.
