Opium88 | 10-05-2016 12:38 PM | My poor babies! ! An HOUR before I had Toby, Izzy, and Madelyn scheduled to get groomed, I took them with me to go to my cousins baby shower ( to save having to make a second trip across town to get them) and I put them in the back yard . Twenty minutes later one of the boys opens the door and they come running in and rubbing themselves all over the furniture and guests like crazy. Madelyn raises her head and her ENTIRE face is covered in these weird ,green , almost soft catipillar looking stickers! !! I scream and grab her up and two other people grabbed up Toby and Izzy cause they had them, too, just not nearly as bad, and we locked ourselves in the bathroom for the next hour cutting these hateful things out of their hair. Madlyn's were
embedded in her face. She couldn't even SEE! They weren't the painful kind, but they were sticky , would not come out for anything! Ugh. So needless to say my groomer was so sad. She apologized to Izzy for five minutes before she started shaving her. And Madlyn had to be shaved completely head to toe. Toby, too, and his hair was long! And Toby, bless his violent little heart , just refuses to take to being sedated for grooming. He had 3 pills and was out cold until she started grooming him. Then adrenaline takes over and he isn't sedated anymore. Period. I came out of that one with only a fat lip and a few scratches that time. That's progress. I want to find out what shop those people before me had him groomed at before I got him and I want to go in there and do horrible things to those people for what they did to my Toby to make him so terrified still to this day. Because no one has done anything even remotely awful to him since I bought him, because I won't leave the room when he's being groomed. I won't. And now my groomer comes to me. But he is still terrified and he's almost two and a half now. They traumatized him. I remember when I got him, they had shaved him down and EMBEDDED a plaid bow tie into his chest that was so tight it took WEEKS for me to be able to get a tiny pair of scissors under it to cut it out. Ridiculous. So he hates being groomed. And 14 lbs of angry yorkie can be dangerous. :eek: Anyway. ..I would post pictures but I can't seem to do it from my phone. If I'm wrong about this, and there's a way to do it now from a phone please correct me. |
