Home cook meal for me from this doggy owner. I have to postpone his grooming but the owner already cook dinner for me so she sent it to me. The portion is huge enough to feed an entire family. I can't thank her enough seriously and our conversation always goes like this

Me : oh thanks for the gifts.(or food)

Her : i should be the one to thank you for willing to groom my dog, i know he is very naughty.

Me : don't say that. Okay i treat you lunch next time, ok?

Her : no no i should treat you

Me : pls don' like that, i very paiseh(uneasy) that i always getting from you. thank you so much Her : no need no need, i am very grateful to you.Thank you leh..

This thank you exchange will go on for the next 5 to10 min every time...rather funny actually.

I feel guilty about her dog because i was on maternity leave few years back and couldn't groom him so she sent it to a shop. He was badly injured before the groomer could start grooming him. Came home with blood clot in his eye and lost 3 teeth. After that he was never the same.he became aggressive when comes to grooming and got rejected by other shops. I don't know what happened while he was there but he never gave me any problems before.

Told his owner to let me try grooming him when i got back to work because i know at least he is familiar with me. she was afraid he might bite me now that he had been traumatized. i don't have the heart to reject him coz he is very loving to me actually. Give him time to built that trust.

I don't deny he is tough but end of the day, the job is done and a good work out for the 2 of us.

Piju and Girl

Piju and Girl Girl are getting on with age, both are blind and deaf. Because they are not aware of the surrounding.. i have to stroke them often while grooming so as to calm them. Heard that girl girl is like 18years old. Really salute the owner for her love and patience because not easy caring for an old dog. Remember "Pet is for a lifetime". I have watch them grow old since i started grooming them 5 years back.

My heart ache everytime i see my client in bad shape due to old age but i believe it's part of life. Most importantly,they led a good life and are well taken care that matter most.

Girl Girl pic

This shot looks like a passport photo.haha.. girl girl's owner wants her fur shave off except the facial hair. Poor girl have chronic skin problem. She is 8 years old now. she is so well behave during grooming compared to when she was a puppy. She fought with my hairdryer, leaving teeth marks on it. Her owner used to scold her " i beat you die die ". I find that phrase so funny. LOL

7 month old bobby's facial hair is very black and messy. did a remaining 1 inch for easy maintainers. he is extremely good to work on. heard from his owner, bobby is a companion to his 80 years old mother who is rather senile and deaf, couldn't hear even when the car horn at her while crossing the road .I'm sure he bring lots of joy to their family. I do lots of shih tzu most of them are rather hyper at this age but not bobby. he temperaments just nice for seniors at home. Ahem.. no offense Milo you need to learn from bobby and also stop bullying boy boy also.
