Hi
The girls where all due at their groomers on Sat morning ,I have used this lady on the last three occasions after not being too happy with four others I have been to .So I checked on Thurs to confirm the time etc ,no answer so I phoned again on Friday lunch and this time a recorded message saying they have closed down .As it seems most parlours don't open on Sat or you have to book 4-6 weeks in advance I picked another groomers out of Yellow Pages this is a lady out who has opened up about a mile away so I phoned her ,she seemed very forthright and said she had been in business over 21 yrs and when she did dogs it was a one to one in the shop no others allowed and even said if she didn't like me she would "eliminate me from her list" as I said very firm and appearing very knowledgeable .So we continued talking and she said at that very moment she was doing a cavalier and what wonderful dogs they are ,needless to say I pushed my luck and said (it was 2.30 pm) you wouldn't like to do three more today and of course after some pushing she agreed ,so I took them at 3.15 and picked them up at 8.15 .
As you may guess it was a complete disaster ,much to short poor Daisy looks like a little Blenheim Chihuahua and Poppy just a bigger one ,Rosie was OK she didn't cut short ,apart from the state of them she was very expensive ,so please how long will it take for Poppy's and Daisy's hair to grow back as each time we have been out i have had to put their coats on to keep them warm and to hide their and mine embarrassment .Theres a lady who shows Cavs and is a groomer about 12 miles away and I will definitely be going to her in the future ,and the girls have all been scratching like mad ,its not fleas as they haven't got a lot of hair to hide away in so I think its perfume spray and powder so they have all just been bathed again with a mild shampoo.
