Robin

Every month or so, or 4-5-6 weeks Robin needs to be taken for grooming. His hair grows faster than mine, well he is younger than I. Grooming includes shampoo, haircut and nail clippings. He is a pretty sport about this. Already know his groomer, a nice young lady. I am not saying he is looking forward to it but accepts his fate with grace.

Up to a few months ago we used to go to one of these giant pet store chains that offered this service but requested the same groomer each time. Then the young lady announced that she was taking maternity leave but would work from home, and if we are interested, she could continue to do Robin. We like the lady, Robin likes the lady and she she would charge less than the store did. That was enough for us to make a decision.

Now, the baby was born but she thankfully did not go back to work, but continues her "practice" from her house. She gives a good service, Robin is happy because when he is done he is not locked in a cage to wait for us but she lets him run around the house.

This Monday was that special day. When he was done he looked beautiful. Hair trimmed, washed, nails trimmed. I bet he knew he looked good because he was very happy. We were happy because it cost us less and got a very good job. Who said money doesn't make you happy?
