| Groomer in North Carolina? I recently took Baxter to Petsmart to get groomed for the first time, and I wish I never had! I read what happened to someone else's little yorkie, and I don't want to take him back. Does anybody know of a groomer in or around Gastonia or Charlotte, NC? Thanks everyone!

| I live in the Raleigh area. I took Lady to the groomer three times when I adopted her. The first time she was practically shaved, the second time she had a huge wound on top of her head. They never even said anything about it when I picked her up. It was a huge gouge (she still has a scar nine years later) so it must have bled like crazy. This grooming salon was even in a vet's office! I switched groomers and Lady got the most uneven, lopsided cut! I had to buy scissors to even her up. At that point I decided it was better to learn to do it myself and I did. |

| Wow! I don't know if I could learn... I'm afraid! What if I hurt him? Is it expensive? How did y'all even begin to learn to groom?

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | You will be okay, you just have to take small steps. Do you want his hair long or short? And I am sure you can bathe and condition your baby? |

| He's only three months old (tomorrow!) and the vet told me to bathe him once a month right now, because he has dry skin. (Which is already better!) I've given him a bath once, and I know how. I will want to keep his hair short, a ''puppy cut'' I've heard it called.

| Exit 36 is off of 77N about 15 min North of Charlotte. Lake Norman exit. This may be too far for you, I'm not exactly sure where Morrisville is. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I groom my boy myself to. But I don't use a ARM. What are you going to connect this to? |

| I have a computer desk I am going to use. I don't need it for my girls I just sit on the floor and groom them but it is a back breaker. I figured I would need it because not many peoples dogs would want to just sit still and let me groom them. |
