Doggy grooming lesson 101

I'm new to this doggy thing.

I haven't had a dog since I was teenager living at home. Back then we always had some sort of animal. I can honestly say we never had a cat though because I am allergic to them. But dogs, birds, gerbils, and hamsters we always plentiful.

Anyway

I took the dog to the pet store to have a bath and her nails cut. I was afraid they were going to ask me if I wanted her nails painted and thankfully they didn't because Cookie really isn't a girlie kind of dog. She is more of sporty dog.

I think she would prefer the color red over pink any day.

So here is where it gets NASTY!

When I walked into the pet store and told them what I wanted and the technician also asked if I wanted her anal glands expressed.

W-H-A-T-!-!-!-?-?-?

I said no thank you and I left the store.

Like I said I am new adult to doggy land. So I called my friend D who gave Cookie to us and I asked her about it.

She gave me all of the NASTY details that I will leave out for you but needless to say I called the pest store back and told them to go ahead with the expression because there is NO WAY I repeat NO WAY I am doing that E-V-E-R-!

Just the thought of what....OK never mind.

I'm done. Subject finished.

R4 and I picked up Cookie a few hours later and she was so happy to see us.

When she jumped on me her nails no longer scratched my legs to pieces and she smelled wonderful.

Bottom line, pun intended, she is clean from top to bottom literally.
