Brought Gooby for his first grooming session [with us] last week.
He was quite scared when he reached the pet shop! :( Awwww.
I kept petting him and assured him that it'll be fine, but he was just like a timid kid, behaving like it's the first day of school. The groomer opened this big door, and it was dark inside. Not what I expected!
I thought I'd see a nice big table, with the shavers all. But I saw a row of steps, like about 5 steps from the door, leading down to this dark place where there were many caged dogs! ALL BARKING!
OMO I was so reluctant to let Gooby be caged in there! :( Then Gooby stood just outside the door, refusing to go in. He's afraid of steps!
But then the merciless uncle just dragged him by the leash, and off went my poor Gooby. Then I was told to leave and come back in 3 hours time.
"I'll call you when we're done."
OMGGGGGG. Ab & I left the shop, and we didn't know what to do! I was super worried; my baby must be so terrified now! :(
We didn't want to go home, cos we wanted to be around the area, so that we could CHIONG TO GOOBY once he's done. Walked around plaza, it was really some aimless walking around! OMG the feeling's quite hard to describe! :(
After what seemed like a million hours, we went back to the pet shop to check on him. "10 more minutes ok."
So we waited patiently outside the scary room. Then in a while, this lady came out with Gooby in her arms.
HE WAS TODALI SHIVERING LIKE MAD!
Omg he's trembling in fear! But then nvm, I was even more shocked to see his fur like ABOUT THE SAME AS BEFORE!
TODALI PISSED THE SHITS OUT OF ME!
After 3 hours, nothing much changed! WHAT THE! So I told the lady, "Like that ah? Why still so long?! I said I wanted it short! Why the beard still so long? Why the eyebrow still so long!"
Sorry if I was quite rude, but then Ab & I were really pissed! I really hate people who don't follow instructions! And I even showed her some photos before I left Gooby there!
She still act dumb to me, "Huh? Not short enough? Okok, I cut again." I was like, "NO! Didn't I show you the picture just now?!"
Ok I didn't scream at her, but I just kind of sounded pissed. Trust me, Gooby looked the same as before! I'm not being unreasonable ok.
Gooby's eyebrow was still at least 3cm long! CUT GE PI AH!
So I told her, "Please shave the back, trim the legs, and beard, the eyebrows. I'll wait here."
HOLY.
After a while, she came out again. This time, at least Gooby looked different. He was still trembling like crazy, so I carried him. He kind of hugged me! And the expression on his face was so POORTHING. OMG he must be abused by that annoying lady in the dark room! :(
I'm never going back to that crazy shop again!
On the way home, Gooby just quietly stayed in my arms as I carried him. He smelt like a baby! :D I kept sniffing him, kissing his head, and talking to him.
My arms was kind of aching when we reached home! HAHA! 20 minutes walk leh! For a 5 month puppy, Gooby is quite a giant!
Once home, he returned to his hyperactive self again. I was so relieved! :D
