Charley Passes the Peggy Test

Bath Before ClippingWe’ve been going to Peggy to groom our dogs for probably 20 years. She does a fabulous job of making them look beautiful, keeping their coat, ears, and nails healthy, and giving me a piece of her mind when I need it. Peggy even helped me grow and maintain a show coat on Cientos.

Today I took Charley in for his first grooming appointment. I’d already told Peggy the whole story of Cientos developing cancer and leaving our lives much, much earlier than we anticipated, and how less than a week later I got a call from my breeder about adopting Charley. I told Peggy all I knew about Charley, his age, pedigree, and previous living situation. 

And then I brought him in. 

I was quite nervous to hear the verdict.

Charley Newly GroomedWhen I picked Charley up he looked gorgeous, face nicely shaved, coat soft and standing up. He seemed happy after his spa day.

And, he had passed muster! Peggy told me about how she enticed him up on the table by doing Lina first. Smart and competitive, she said.

I am so pleased and relieved. I don’t know what I would do if Peggy didn’t approve of my dog.
