[Deuce]

Will I trust an amateur groomer...

Horrid experience, I show up, she seems friendly, Rizzo takes some time but sort of warms up to her. Everything seems to be going okay, then she starts to groom him, he freaks out. I tell her to take it easy on him she says he's fine...Naturally I argue that he is not, and I would know being I'm with him all the time, so I can generally tell if he is unhappy and needs a second to adjust to the new experience. So she takes a break, Rizzo is calm again so she starts again, she decides to start to trim around his face...it is awful, I kept my mouth shut and figured she was just starting she would clean it up in the end...well then she pulls out the blades and starts to get to work on his body again, he yelps extremely loud, I tell her to stop. She tells me he is fine, that he just doesn't like to be groomed and that my freaking out is only feeding his distress. I tell her to stop grooming him and that we are leaving. I pick him up look at his leg and to my horror he is bleeding. She pinched off some of his skin with her blades. I refused to pay her and left without another word.

Needless to say, Rizzo is only going to be groomed from home or by a professional. I'm going to have to see if my landlady can find a good one that can clean up her mess once Rizzo recovers...
