ME TOO.
I've been grooming my girls for a long time now - and I'm going thru something today with Chanel - I trimmed her too close on her little bootie and now she has a raw spot

....I feel TERRIBLE but it won't stop me from doing them myself especially after reading the horror stories and knowing human behaviour.
We really don't know who we can trust with our pets anymore. What may look like a great groomer can be deceiving and no one will take care of our pets like we do and be as gentle as we are.
That's really scary for that poor poodle - what if no one was there to save him ?? What if they were busy somewhere else ?? He could have hit his head if not choked.....He could have died
