My dog groomer has cancer and her business is on hold. Hopefully she will be okay. It is her 3 bout.

I just need to find a one time groomer who will do a decent job for a reasonable price. $60+ is not reasonable- My groomer charged $35/yorkie and $120 for 4. Cage free, less than 2 hrs, and only my dogs were there.

The local polytechic program will attempt to groom them for $25 each- They can't do any worse than me. I say attempt because they are learning and you rather work on bombproof dogs which mine are not. I'm going to look at the place next week. It is only Roxy I worry about- The other 3 never seem to care how they look but Roxy does.

Roxy normally gets a "Joey" like hair cut in the fall because a sweater is on her 24/7 during cold weather. The other 3 get short puppy cuts.

Thanks.
