 Don't beat yourself up !!!!!!!!
We've mostly had good experiences with our "humongous, national-chain store" groomers. The key is to find one good, experienced employee you feel comfortable with and ask for them by name when you make the appointment (not all of them know their stuff; our baby got a hack-job once). Sure, you should have left when that person gave you attitude, but don't play shoulda-coulda-woulda, you learned a lesson !!!! Your baby may be mad at you for a little while, but she'll get over it. Plus, since it was her first grooming outing, I'm sure that in and of itself freaked her out a little bit; our babies can be a little sensitive when experiencing new things (riding in a car, going to the vet, groomer's, etc.). I know ours are !!!!! |
