He usually does ok with the groomers, I stay on site and they do a \u201cvip groom\u201d which involves 1 groomer and no cages\u2026 the groom is just a bath and nails and takes no longer than 25 minutes. Today the groomers was too nerve racking for Ted. He was screaming and went to the bathroom, he couldn\u2019t help it. The car ride home broke my heart. Small things can trigger animal tested dogs. We must be gentle and patient.
