My groomer is pretty special.... she actually lets me call her late in the day and if she is almost done with her last client I go there and get Shelby & Seymour trimmed. I always give them their baths before we go.... because I guess I am too fussy as to what shampoo they use....... but also I LOVE combing that silky hair!!!
She charges me
$5 per dog to trim their ear-tips, paws (including nails), scissors the ends to even them up. and of course trims the "pee pee" areas. I always give her $20 regardless...... 2 dogs....... the extra special treatment.... What a gem! I know that she doesn't do this for everone....... I really feel extra lucky... so I try to be generous at Christmas time as well.
