micki76 - what if i pick my dog up from a doggy day care that also has a groomer? i pick my dog up from day care and i never get to see the groomer who worked on my dog (he goes to doggy day care in the AM and then the groomer in the PM). i don't want to give the money to just anybody because what if they pocket it and the groomer never sees the tip? i don't think that would happen, but in today's society, you never know. do you have any suggestions? should i ask to see the groomer so i can tip her? or should i just give the money to whomever brings my dog out to me? i have no clue.
