I took Satch to Terre Haute today for his first grooming and was I ever a wimp!! First I asked if the lady had groomed very young dogs and she replied that she had.I told her that he would probably show himself ,such as wiggles,growling and baring teeth.She said ,no problem ,they all do that at first.I said I don't want him traumatized and she said not to worry.By that time my step daiughter was ready to strangle me and I was told not to let Satch see me nervous or he would be too.I handed him over to the groomer and headed straight for the bathroom where no one would see me drying my eyes
All went well and he is so handsome,he slept in my arms all the way home and is now wrestling everything he comes in contact with including me so I best get off here and entertain him
Please tell me I am not the only one that had a hard time dealing with a first separation to a groomer
