A little tip on the nail clipping. I have a couple that give me a hard time during the clipping so.....I take the nail clippers in the tub and while they are soaking wet, I clip the nails. They so concentrate on being wet and when will it end, that they don't even realize what is happening. This has certainly made the nail trimming much easier for us.

Again, glad everything is alright.

This is a really great tip...thanks so much!!!!!! I would of never thought of that!

How scary for you having to chase Emily

....that does shock me that happened.

..there should be another barrier for the doggies once they get loose...

My groomers for my past dog had a half/ gate...the dogs never leave from that unless with the owner....
I'm so sorry....it must make your heart drop each time you think of it..
Angels were with your yorkie..that is for sure...

OMG!

That is terrible that they let that happen, how did they let her get loose yet out of the building? I'm just happy that she's allright, your lucky that she stopped because you know that she was scared and sometimes they just run. Yea, I'm like you I don't take my boys to the groomers I do it, maybe not as well but a lot more safely! I do like that tip on cutting while they're in the tub, I'll have to try that next time...

Thanks for all the replys everyone. I've calmed down now and I've got ANGRY

at this place so I reported them to the local authority who will go inspect them. I can't understand how they can run a practice with standards like that, the grooming room should be easily accessed without crossing the entrance near the road with no gates in place like it is now. I mean how hard it is to close a gate??

Thanks for the tip on nail grooming, I'll try that next time I bath Emily. She is very nervous and tends to panic when she doesn't like something and bites before she thinks!LOL I hoped letting the groomer do her nails would be an easier option but no one will be taking any of my 3 babies from me ever again - period.

I groom myself and OK it doesn't look great but I remember why I started doing it now! I will be telling everyone I know to avoid this place to save any other dog owner the stress of finding their pet ending up lost of injured - it just doesn't bare thinking about.

Holy crap! I would have killed those people! I hope you gave them a piece of your mind before leaving! Did they even appologize?

chachi · 07-26-2005, 08:55 AM

That is terrible!!

I would have been furious! Luckily my groomer is a doll. She handles my dogs with kid gloves.

Go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket..because today is your lucky day. You were so lucky to have stood up and looked when you did.

Thank Goodness!

Julz · 07-26-2005, 09:44 AM

Oh My GOSH!!!!! That made me gasp and my hand went up over my gaping mouth!!!!!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!!!! Surely you let them have a piece of your mind before you left! Oh, Oh, OH! Thank God you looked out the window when you did, that must have been your guardian angel that made you look. I bet your eyes got as big as dinner plates! Thank goodness you got to her before any real harm was done! Was anyone out there trying to get her back? I just don't see any reason on earth why she was outside of the building!!!!!!!!!

3pamperedpups · 07-26-2005, 10:02 AM

Heehee, I hadn't thought it might just be my lucky day, if I win the lottery I can buy my dog rescue I've always dreamt of.

She was out the building because the only way from reception to the grooimg room was to go out one door, walk through the car park next to the road and into another door. Which is why I think they should be made to improve their set up for safety reasons, I hope the council will make them do that. I would have been happy to go get her myself rather than them try taking her for a walk like that.

yorkieusa · 07-26-2005, 10:11 AM

I can only imagine. You must have felt your heart in the pit of your stomach!

Totally irresponsible! Thank goodness you saw her or she might not be here. Must be a mother's intuition...

Well, I'll tell you what! That is THE DUMBEST set up for that type of business. They need to atleast put some type of barrier up so NO pets get to that road! After a few people loose their beloved pets, that place will be OUT OF BUSINESS!!!! They better get that fixed and FAST! This has just made me sooooooooo MAD! I am so thankful nothing happened!!!!

Now the shock has gone thats exactly how I feel now. I hope something's done before something awful happens. I keep reliving it and imagining if I hadn't been there, hadn't been able to run? You get the picture!

I guess Emily's Guardian Angel was working overtime! So glad this had a happy ending.
