Logan:
I was also afraid to read your post, but laughed a lot after I realized that nothing bad had happened to the two darling girls. They must be more gorgeous than usual after their grooming.
I used to groom the dogs myself in the bathtub. Natasha and Irina would jump right in, but they also would jump out covered with shampoo You can imagine what it was like to try to get a 75 lb. slippery dog back in the tub. For a while, I also groomed Carina but when my back and knees started to give me grief I tried several groomers. Carina was scared of all of them. Now I have a van come to my house and it works very well. It is slightly more expensive but worth every penny. If you can find something like that, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result.
Give Honey and Lily a great big hug from me.
