Every 3 or 4 months I schedule my dog for her “Day of Beauty” at the groomers. She has what they call “a rough coat” which means she is not s short hair, but she’s not a long hair, either. She gets enough hair on her legs and belly to need a trim once in a while. The groomer also brushes her teeth and cuts her toenails after her bath, with extra conditioner.

I drop her off in the morning and find something to do for a few hours before they call and tell me she’s ready. She comes bounding out of the groomers back room with bows on her ears and a happy tail wagging.

The best I get is a haircut for $12. Although, when I go to the dentist for my 6 month checkup I do get someone to brush my teeth. So I guess the only service I’m lacking is having my toenails cut?
