Trying something new today

$70.00 per dog doesn't seem like much of a break to me either. I know Hannah and Tucker are a bit smaller but they each get quite a bit of clipping done as well. We pay $42.00/per dog and I tip another $4.00/dog because she does such a nice job.

Oh, Logan, things are expensive in SC!
When I used the mobile service for Carina, I paid only $40, the same I now pay the groomer at the doggie day care place.
Anyway, can't wait to see the pictures of the girls and Zipper after their beauty treatment.

We have a problem. The part on the computer that reads the memory card from the camera is not working. Scott said he had a problem with it the other night too. I think it may need to be replaced. I'm trying, folks!! The pictures are there, just not where I can show them to you! I may have to go back to my camera and get a disk!

The USB port?

I only pay $50 for Bella for a bath and clipping and she gets her ear hair plucked and toe nails done too! Believe me when I tell you this is a bargain as I often do her myself, and it is back breaking work for me (I am no spring chicken! LOL!). Ripley on the other hand is a piece of cake!

We only charge $36 for a standard poodle......lol

And people complain about *our* prices! We're cheap!

Well, it's the thing that attaches to the USB port, KayAnn, not the USB port itself. The part that connects to the USB where you slide in the card from the computer must be malfunctioning. The pictures are there on the camera, but the computer is not recognizing them.

I hate this stuff. We'll retrieve them, one way or the other.

Oh, so you have a car reader? What kind of camera do you have?

**Logan** · 09-05-2003, 09:05 PM

We're getting awfully close to being too technical for me, but it is an Olympus C700 Zoom.

My parents uses mobile services for Chilli in Hong Kong. It is more convenient for them, as the groomer will go to their house. She charges according to size... since Chilli is a 20lb Shih Tzu, she is considered to be LARGE

(heehee). That cost my parents $600HKD ($1USD=$7.8HKD approx.). But that include bath, groomer and trimming the nails and all that. And they use the service abt once a month... depends on how "dirty" and "smelly" the big girl is.

**In a little bit over a month I will be in HK seeing Chilli!!! Yay!!!**

20lbs!!! WOW! Aneko is about 10 now, but was only about 7 when we got her. She was extremely thin, though. She's very small boned and has the tiniest little head!

She was just groomed yesterday and it was $24!

And, believe me, she's horrible! We've had 2 groomers refuse to do her!

And there's no way I'm doing it!

Micki: Why did the groomer refuses to groom Aneko? Chilli is 7 years old and close to 20lb. She is definitely NOT a miniature ST. And I strongly believe she is just BIG BONE with a few extra pounds. haha... But she really is longer than regular ST too. And we love her very much no matter how big she is...heehee...

Aneko is long, too. Really long. I think Chilli is adorable. I actually wish Aneko was bigger. She gets trampled by big ole tubby Millie all the time, poor baby.

The groomers refused to groom her because she's awful. She tries to bite (very few teeth, but all it takes is one!) and she fights like you're trying to kill her the entire time. I used to groom and I refuse to groom her! She's REALLY bad!

**jenfer** · 09-06-2003, 03:16 PM

Chilli tempted to bite a few times (not really biting, but showing her teeth), so the groomer put a leash on her and one time she put the cone on Chilli. Naughty girl. I do hope to see more pic of Aneko.

Maybe if she eats a little bit more she will be bigger? I wish Chilli could share her little extra fat with Aneko.

heehee...
