I KNOW how nice long silky hair can be, and my guys can do that, but I take mine out along the Bayou close to the house, and let them hunt and catch themselves a little raw (frogs and an occasional snake).
My two are really little water bugs, and will jump in to the Bayou after a frog in a heartbeat. IF I didn't keep them trimmed short, I'd be pulling out as much of my hair, as I had to cut off them because of the mats. At least they have some to cut.
Actually, I keep them short because of the heat. As you know, we're running up toward and occasionally over 100 ° now a days, and my two are out in the back yard (voluntarily) quite frequently (I have a Doggy Door). As far as the separation, don't worry, from what I read in your Post, that Dog will NEVER forget you  Oh by the way, please come back and say how the Grooming worked out, I'm actually looking for a change for my two. If you don't want to say any names out in public post like this, please PM me. Be brave, bite your lip, and endure the few hours away from your little dear as best you can.  |
I have researched on the Internet a TON of groomers on the NW side of town and this is the only one that has NOTHING negative about it. I guess having to wait 3 weeks is a good sign since all the others I inquired about could get me in the same week, right?!?!?!?!
Separation anxiety. Never dreamed I would be going through it with a DOG!! Wasn't like that with my kids, was actually a relief when they started school if you know what I mean.
I will definately let you know what happens. My vet's receptionist said you can't even tell it is the same dog sometimes after they visit there! I am mainly concerned about comfort and safety. I have heard too many horror stories about some of the grooming places.
