Am I nuts, or would this upset anyone else? K, so I go to pick up my Taylah from the groomers after I drop my husband off at work and all, and she's being held by someone I don't know AT ALL! I can see if it was staff or her groomer or something holding her, but NOPE, this just was a random *customer*. I'm kinda bothered that the groomers/managers were just so easy to hand over my Taylah to her.. sure they may know her, but how well? and I DONT know her! It doesnt really bother me when they told me she was never in her crate, as she was being passed around and cuddled by the staff... but giving her to a customer or a stranger kinda does. I mean, if this person was evil and had bad intentions, it would be SO easy for them to just snatch her and leave and not come back with her! Plus, I dont want to be rude, but we don't have fleas, and I know its a chance everytime you take them out and to a place like that, but what if this lady's pet/s had fleas and they were on her and they jumped on Tay? This just so unsettles with me. :( The flea thing doesn't even bother me as much as these managers were just TO trusting! All it takes is 1 person to even think about running off with my baby! And what is even more maddening to me, is that this is the only person non-staff that I seen holding her, who knows who or how many others they let love on my baby! :( |
You have EVERY right to be angry and upset! I would be furious! :mad: I've heard of people having their dogs stolen from groomers before. It's sad but true! Whenever I bring my pooches to the groomers, I stay there and watch the entire procedure. I even help them hold my dog because I've seen groomers be too rough with dogs before and it pisses me off. These tiny dogs are fragile and if a groomer jerks or pulls them, they can really hurt them and maybe even fracture or break a bone. Maybe I am OVER protective but I have to be! Our dogs can't talk and tell us if a groomer hurt them or if some stranger picked them up. So we have to be extra cautious with our babies! Are you going to find a new groomer? |
I would be very upset. I doesn't matter if they knew the person or not. What if something happened when they were holding them, God forbid they dropped him. How well do they know who this person is? Anything can happen. I would find another groomer. |
As much as we hear about Yorkies being taken, it would upset me too. When I leave Princess, they don't crate her. They take her right away, and call me 15 min. before she is done. I would tell your Groomer she is not to be held by anyone who is not on staff. I know a lot of people just love Yorkies, but they should ask the parents if they could hold them. I would never put Princess in risk at any time. |
I guess I'm too trusting because I don't think it would have upset me. What would make me uncomfortable is worrying whether my puppy's shots have had time to protect him from the "nasties" he could pick up at the groomers. |
I guess Small Town USA really does have its advantages. I live in a town with population of about 2500; everybody knows everybody. My groomer has 7 yorkies of her own, so I never worry about my 2 when they are with her. She has her shop set up in my vet's office, which makes it double nice. I drop JPop and Taz off on my way to work at 8 and pick them up at lunch and take them home. Wish you all could be as worry-free about your groomer as I am. I am very protective and don't know if I could handle the "big" places. :) Isn't it sweet that we all love our babies so much! :D |
I can honestly say I would have been furious! Like you, I wouldn't have minded the staff .... but a stranger is out of the question :thumbdown I'm not saying I would never let a stranger hold my dog, but it would have to be MY decision. |

I don't think you are Over Protective. My Mother always said she was Over Protective, (She was a NYPD and VERY protective of us) But she also always said, the only thing in life she can't replace is someone who has a heart. And we all know how big Yorkie hearts are. :) |
Oh yeck NO!!! I would have been one very upset person. I took Gus to the Groomer once and and never went back! I am still learning but I do all grooming myself. |
I would have raised all sorts of he** in there! In front of the other cutomer, even. They should NOT have done that. There are too many bad people out there that would have taken off with the pup and then what? Who would have paid for a replacement? I'd never go back there AGAIN!!!!! |
Thanks everyone.. glad to know I have others that feel the same! I can't help but keep thinking about this! :( It breaks my heart to just THINK of what could have happened.. Unfortunately this the only groomer, and we also live in a small community of about 2400, but still, again it only takes 1 person to take a baby like this in this situation! This just urks me.. We have a Petco about 24 miles from us, and I may end up taking my girls there.. sure its more inconveint, but Im not going through this again! |
:thumbdown If you have to continue to go there, I would call while its FRESH in your mind and advise them... that You dont Appreciate your dog being passed around to STRANGERS like a ragdoll,and would insist that this doesn't happen again. They have no right to do that,, its like daycare,,would they do that at a daycare, I dont think so. In the end, they are liable for what happens at THEIR business. :thumbdown |
Yes, I can see how you would be upset. I HATE when people pick up Ginger. They’re all in her face letting her give them kisses on the lips (ew), where I will be, no doubt. And who knows where their hands have been…. Yeah, I can totally see your point. But I’m almost certain no one meant any harm. That stranger probably had no idea she offended you. |
I'd learn to do it myself. There is NO way that I'd go back there. |
I just called them! Its still urking me in my mind! I got voicemail as they close like an hour for lunch or so, so they better call me back! I know they will, as I kinda fibbed and told them that I had to set up an appt. eeek! |
