Big Paws Only Dog Forums

I'm not taking him because he's okay now, but we won't go there again and since I'm in a position to recommend animal-related services quite often, I'll be sure to recommend against them.

That is sometimes the best revenge..there is no excuse for what he went thru..

I was a groomer for a short timer and there is just no excuse at all ..yes sometimes accidents happen..and I suppose in a busy shop things can get overlooked..bu t
NO EXCUSE

I would try to find someone that takes their dog to a place they are happy with..and would speak to the owners or who ever is in charge before ever taking him in and explain what has happened to him in the past..and get a tour of the place while your at it..

A drop in tour of the facalities can tell you alot about how they do things..

And if they aren't willing to let you there is a reason..
They should be happy to let you see everything going on..

So sorry he has had such a hard time..

well just so you all know if you heard the screams from my home today..it was only nails and a bit of clean up today on puppy..

OMG he is just the biggest baby..and he thinks that screaming will get him what he wants..of course with me that doesn't work..much to the distress of everyone else in the house..

As long as I know he is not hurt in any way and what I am doing isn't hurting him he can scream all he wants..cause he won't get what he wants till he is calm..

I still need to trim the hair on his feet but am taking a break..

WOW I sure wasn't expecting his reaction..but his nails were way too long and sharp..so they had to get done..and I even did them in my lap instead of the table..and he still screamed like I was killing him..of course once done we played in the same position and I touched all his toes and feet and made friends..

I had to put him in the tub to wash his (for the G rated) peepee area..that was just clumped with hair..not sure he could even pee as a matter of fact..he was ok with that part..but the dryer part he freaked again..and last week when he got a whole Bath and dry he just squrimed alot..not scream..but today he had to test me I guess..after he was dry I shaved that particular part or area so it won't be a problem..he didn't seem to mind that..

It sure tells me I must be on top of this and put him thru these things every other day or so till it is no big deal..

I think it was more of he didn't want to than anything else..but he has an attitude when it comes to that and now I know..boy do I..

Still working on a name and have tried quite a number of the ones I got from all of you in the word jumble..but nothing seems to feel right yet..
I guess I will know when it is..

Just wanted to update on the brat..hope to have new pictures soon..

Hi everyone..I am still searching for a name for *Good Boy*
while Jessie is still an option..I thought of using all the letters in the names of the rest of the fur kids and see what can come out of that..
ammeroklafasyr ahwabaj
The problem is I am really terrible at word jumbles..



So I have many letters in which to use..and cheating of any kind is allowed..

any names that can come out of this mess might just be a blessing..
Of course the names already in use wouldn't help so they have to not count..
They are..
Emma Falkor Rysa What Jaba
Any others could work..but my brain is spinning with the attempt..so all word jumble experts are welcome ..
This boy needs a name..
Tricia and the fur kids..

By the way TD work is without a doubt the best thing you can do for yourself..you will get far more than you give it is just like that..and it sounds like you understand that..
I lost my TD Magic in July we were a team for 8 years and he would have been 10 in Nov..the smiles and miracles he made happen and left in his wake can't be counted..so Keep up all your work..

Sorry for your loss..don't feel too guilty..the fact that shadow lived as long as she did..says a lot about you..and I am sure she holds nothing against you..you should share the pics you have of her..she sounds like a character..

Welcome  two two of them..you have found the right place to be..

My newest pup just arrived and I don't think I could stand the cuteness of two at the same time..

I might have overdosed..can you overdose on cuteness???
I'm not sure..

But welcome it's real friendly here..

Tricia and the fur kids
