Aug. 12th, 2007 12:49 amSo Cooper had quite an eventful day. We took him to get groomed. The groomer called about an hour after we dropped him off and was like "so he has a bunch of matts on his legs and its inhumane for me to brush them out so we're going to just shave him okay?" and i felt like a horrible mom so i did all i could and said "okay" then i called my mommy up and she was like "they shoulda just cut them out like I do but i'm sure he'll look fine shaved" Apparently Roxy got a nasty cut behind her ear so the vet shaved like half her neck and head, so Cooper can't look worse than that.
We call the groomer cause its been about 3.5 hours and we're in the neighborhood and the girl is like Oh we just called you, Cooper is done and you said you were on your way. So now i'm like hmm thats weird. but whatever i guess they called the wrong person.
We get there and they make mark pay first (which i didn't even realize) and then they bring out my horribly ugly rat. My face dropped. That couldn't be Cooper. That couldn't be my little puppy. No way. They hand him over to me - he's shaking and scared and starts to pee. As they tell us that "Oh by the way, we gave your collar and leash to someone else by accident Sorry about that". So at this point I put Cooper on the chair so he can finish peeing on their furniture and Mark starts yelling like "what the fuck? that has his tags on it! we need that" and the woman is like well i think they said they were going on vacation so we should have them back after the weekend. I guess we can lend you a leash and collar if its a big deal. And i'm like yeah we dont have another collar for him - thats HIS collar. Thats like taking someones wallet and giving it to someone else and being like what you need this??? So mark is like What if he gets out? No one can identify him. Go get it now.
So a nice boy that works there is like well they're in Oakdale so i guess i can drive over now and if you want i can bring it to your house. And i'm like no you can be back in 10 minutes - we'll wait. So we go outside to wait. I'm trying to coax Cooper into pooping on their doorstep but he wouldn't. And i'm like fuck this lets just go and not pay and just buy a new tag on the way home - this is when mark told me that they had already made him pay before they brought him out and of course it was cash so i can't even do a charge back which i totally would cause they fucked up my dog.
So the kid showed back up about 20 minutes later with the leash and they didn't even apologize. hell as a good will gesture be like ya know what? we royally fucked up your dogs haircut and we gave his collar away how about a $5 discount on that $45 grooming. Thats more than i pay to get my own hair done.
So they shaved his whole body really really short but left his tail and ears long and wavy (which means completely untouched). They left him a long beard but cut it lopsided and they didn't even cut/file all his nails but of the nails they cut they're still long. So i wanna know why i paid $45 for a fucked up dog. It looks like a mix between a poodle cut, scottish terrier, and something shaved. its slightly growing on me if i only look at parts of him but he still looks super ugly. he's just lucky he has a cute face and is supersoft.
Word to the wise - Don't go to Tail Waggers in Sayville - they suck donkey balls.
So we went over to Hillary and Steve's tonight and Cooper got to come and play with the Nipster and show off his bad haircut. He loved him a lot. at first he hid and tried to pretend he was all scared of the big guy but then he was trying to be all tough which was hysterical. He was so worn out on the way home he just curled up in my lap. Once we got back here he just drank some water, grabbed a toy and curled up and fell back asleep. Now he sees i'm talking about Cannoli and is like Can we play again sometime?? He really has that look to his face, I swear.
He did much better than i thought he would - he just got annoying with the barking towards the end of the night but hey we're still working on a way to fix that. I had more fun teaching him how to High Five than teaching him not to bark lol.
okay, its bedtime for everyone.
