A Sign of the Times

[loracs]

I took Pippin to the fluff 'n fold this morning.  Usually there are several other people dropping off their pups for a beauty treatment.  This morning she was their only client.  I received the pick up call only an hour after I dropped her off, instead of the more common 3 or 4 hours.  I guess spending $$ on dog grooming is (and should be) low on people's shrinking budget.  I was going to wash her myself, but with the cellulitus, even though I've been home, I've just been too exhausted to do much.  Plus they cut her nails, which is something I really hate doing.  I never had a problem with our golden retrievers, but with the dobies' dark nails, I'm too scared I'll cut past the quick and hurt her.
