He was like, what are you talking about, nothing more you can do?
Apparantly they had the dog on the grooming table, I dont know the details, but it ended up being hung as I dont know if it tried to jump, wasnt being watched or what, but when they have the collars attached to the table.........anyway dog died. I would be soooo distraught.

I think this happens more than we realize. We almost lost our Cassie on her first grooming visit the same way, I walked in just in time. The groomer was no where in sight, she was in another room on the phone. No dog should ever be left on a table unattended for any reason. I always did all Cassie's grooming after that and now do all of Baby Blessing's. This is not to say there aren't good groomers because there are but one needs to have a real understanding with whomever does the grooming that they have the neccessary staff to make sure the dogs safety and well being come first. It is also as important to know ahead of time when a pet has to be boarded that the boarding facility is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED beforehand. I have heard bad things on boarding care too. We never had to board Cassie and hopefully won't ever have to leave Baby Blessing in a boarding facility, but have done my research on that and will be prepared. Patti
