I went into this little doggie day care place where i took maggie the very first time she got her hair cut. (16 weeks old). i have always loved this place...the people are so friendly, the dogs rule the place, and their boutique is just fabulous. well, i went in to get maggie a new collar and get some nice treats for the doggies and decided to watch as they groomed a yorkie. Well, there were 2 standard poodles being groomed as well. this lady started to lower the table with a poodle on it and the dog fell!!! still in the collar that hangs down to hold the dogs. I felt so horrible for the poor dog. it fell off the table, hit the lower part of the table with it's hip, and then to the floor. it pulled the arm down with it so the dog was not choking but it scared the daylights out of me. I felt horrible. i am sure this is more common than i care to know but it was very sad for me to see it. i'm glad i groom my dogs myself. they may not look the best...but they look fine. and i know how they are treated and what goes on.
