What Happened To My Tomboy?

my little tomboy boomer had a life changing experience yesterday.

i have been thinking her claws needed trimming. i did it

once when she was a little puppy &

didn't like the results. so, i never tried again.

yesterday, my sister dropped her dog (herein after referred to as "maggie" or "my sister's puppy)

by the groomer.

i asked if she knew how much they would charge to trim boomer's nails.

she called & they told her they would trim her nails for free.

(slow day & she just wanted to keep busy)

i told my husband, we can't do that to the groomer.

so, i called & asked how much she would charge to give

boomer a bath. i also explained that boomer had never

been to the groomer.

to make a long story short, boomer went to the groomer for the

first time.

she loved it - felt like a princess! the groomer said she was very good &

even held her paws up for the nail clipping.

when we picked her up, she was smiling & wearing a purple bandana & had purple bows

in her fur! her fur is shiney & smells sooo good!

& maggie - she was happy to see her aunt & uncle at the groomer's place too.

maggie doesn't really care for her younger cousin boomer. you see, boomer is

a border collie & maggie is a pomeranian & one time when maggie

came to see us, boomer walked up to maggie & maggie

jumped into the pool!
