AWWWWWW..... Hey there!!
Sorry to hear about your grooming troubles ...
I have yet to find anywhere here that I would feel comfortable taking Riley...
I have always done him myself. I kind of just go with it. He lets me do whatever I want to him but sometimes it takes me several days because I will do sections at a time. Not only does he get a litte antsy but it is a lot for me too.
Hoping you find a nice place to take him in the next five weeks!!
