I need to take Wilbur to be groomed, but I've been outting it off because of my experience when I had Star's nails done. I had her at the Petco where I had adopted her, and decided to get her nails trimmed I liked the lady I met, and she seemed very gentle.

So I agreed to it, and she PASSED STAR OFF to a lady who grabbed her by the base of her skull, forced her down to the table, and held her down while she SCREAMED. As soon as I saw that I grabbed her, yanked my money away from the person I had just handed it to, and took her home. WTF was the lady thinking? I saw her do the same thing to a large samoyed as I was leaving.

So I'm sitting with Wilbur who isn't really matted but is starting to get really shaggy and I can't decide what to do. There is a groomer around the corner from my house who has been recommended to me by some of the people we walk with who have very pampered pups, but I'm still nervous.
