To Jen and the other groomers....I am glad that you have been posting on this thread and enlightening us about grooming. I have nothing against groomers, I guess I was initially upset that they would take that attitude about my sweet Guinness. I guess now I understand what you all have to go through and why some groomers are the way they are.

Honestly, I guess any comments I have made can be chalked up to my ignorance. All my life, all the dogs we had were lab mixes you could wash in your bathtub, fairly short fur. And Bailey is Little Miss Low Maintenance with REALLY short fur, partly because she's part pit bull, but partly because I don't think her fur ever really grew back after her episode of nearly starving to death (before we got her). I've never had to go to a groomer for one of my pets before. I hope that when I go today, we have a good experience. And if there is something that we haven't been doing in the last 2 weeks since we rescued Guinness, I hope she teaches me the right way to do things.

Again, thanks for the advice and enlightenment. I really do appreciate it.
