I’ve never had a bad experience and have always been very pleased with Ginger’s cuts so I defended my groomer, but my customer was very adamant and gave me the number to the woman who does her dogs and insisted I try her instead.
I pretty much blew it off but this morning while I was doing Ginger’s hair I remembered that she’s been shaking like a leaf every morning when I go to groom her and has been since about the time I picked her up from her last grooming session, which was about two weeks ago. I’ve just been thinking perhaps she was cold(?), but didn’t give it too much thought because she had no cuts or anything on her. I’ve been doing her hair every morning before work since she was a small pup so I can’t understand the shaking and I’ve never hurt her…. Now I'm wondering if something happened at the groomers. She wasn’t noticeably injured in any way...but maybe she was yelled at? I try not to ever yell at her but use a firm voice when I’m reprimanding, so she freaks out when people yell. I know I sound over protective and suspicious, I just don’t want to take her some place where she’s treated badly in any way; it’s my job to protect her. I don’t want to be unfair to my groomer either.
What do you guys think? I’m I being crazy? I feel like I am, but, what would you do? |
Who cares if she's keen on you staying or not? It's your yorkie and your money! I stay if I want. I leave if I want. She doesn't tell me whether I can stay or whether I can leave. Sometimes I stay and sometimes I go to the store while she's doing her, but then again she's only there less than an hour usually. If she doesn't want you to stay, then there is probably good reason why she doesn't. Mine has a small shop, too, but I always make room to sit if I wish. Perhaps you should hide a tape recorder when you go in next time if you don't want to stay. Then you might find out what is going on, if anything is...
