[Ringo1]

I'm concerned about my groomer. I have tried several here in this area; we just moved about 6 months ago.

The facility I used the last time is not the greatest; however, my dogs seem to love the individual (female) who does their grooming. They get the same one every time; and she is young and vivacious and they just like her. She does a good job too. I love the way she does Lucy's face and little 'spray' topknot.

Last time, Ringo jumped up and put his paw on her leg and wagged his tail and Lucy licked her face. Normally they do not react to groomers this way.

However, this place also boards dogs and I would NEVER, EVER board my dog there. It's old; I can see cages stacked on top of one another back in the boarding room. Ugh. I don't mind leaving them there for 2 hours to get groomed; but never, ever, ever would I leave them there overnight or anything like that.

So my dilemma is . . should I continue to take them to a groomer that they like, but one who works in an overall facility that I am not that thrilled with??

Also, I specifically asked, and they DO have cage driers. I requested that neither Lucy or Ringo be put in one - but how do I know?

Well, I think I've answered my own question. I need to look around for another groomer.
