What a day I had!!! I didn't sleep very well last night, so that didn't help... I was on time for work but my two friends graduated, so they wern't there and my other friend who is a groomer wasn't there eigher. I was was up to 5 dogs/ day which is really good for me but this past week I have only been getting in 4, which really sucks. Every time I try to speed up it seems like I slow down. Anyway, the first dog I had was a Springer (5F all over) and did really well on him but it took me two hours to do it
... While I was taking his whiskers off, I caught his lip with my thinners... it bled, but not a lot. Next I had an 80 year old, blind Shih Tzu. She was good... till I did her nails and ears and she bit me. Then in the tub she freaked out. I kept a hand on her and talked to her but it didn't help. After she was dryed she was good. The third dog I did was a miniature poodle (7F Lamb w/ Clfc/Rnd ft.) I LOVE doing poodles but every time you got near his feet he would bite. On top of that he weighed about 40 pounds so he didn't like to stand so I had to manually stand him up... he didn't like that... I got bit a few times. Because he wouldn't stand, my patern was a little crooked (but I fixed it). The fourth dog I did was a P.I.T.A. and boy was he ever!!! He was a cockapoo who bites for EVERYTHING!! Even through the muzzle!!! Not only did he bite but he was like a monkey swinging from the trees as well!!! The owner wanted clean feet but that didn't happen so we just scissored his feet real short and hoped for the best. My instructor had to finish the dog cuz I was about to loose it. Meanwhile, while she worked on Psychopants, I helped a student do nails on a fiesty lab-x. Well, he didn't like his nails done eigher and wouldn't ya know, I got bit again!!! In the prosses of fighting with him, I managed to cut one of his nails way, way to short and it bled all over. By this time I just wanted to get out of there, so the instructor told me I could go. While I was cleaning off my scissors, I sliced my finger open... more blood... It started to get icy out during the day and ppl were really stupid on the e-way on the way home. The latest today was that my just mom told me that I am no longer on her medical insurance and I need to find my own asap... yippy. Well that was my day... Def. looking forward to tomarrow (maybe)!!! On the bright side, I got my paycheck today which will come in handy for my trip to Florida. Well G.T.G... American Idol is on!!!
