My sister-in-law called my shop and left me a message that she wanted to know how much I would charge to groom her Chow.
Little bit of history....this sister-in-law and I are not close, my husband's brother's wife. Ok so I'm beating around the bush..I am not crazy about her due to some of her moral decisions regarding her husband and children but that's another story. Also in the past she had another chow that I attempted to groom for her and it tried to eat me...bad dog, not at all socialized and the hair was in bad shape...she witnessed the dogs behavior and quickly left my shop with it very ticked off...not sure if it was at me cause I couldn't control the dog or because the dog was being an a$$ and she was emarassed. Anyways, so this is a different dog, male, not neutered, purchased to breed to the other chow, dog is at least two now.
So her message says just wondering how much to do the dog and it should be easier to do than her other one, you know the "snippy" one (snippy my butt, that dog was out for blood) and he weighs about 75lbs and he should be ok for me but he is just too much for her to handle by herself anymore and she doesn't want to take him to the vet where she has to take the other dog because they knock her out.
I don't even want to attempt this dog...there is not enough money in the world...I know it has never been professionally groomed so I can imagine the coat too. I have to call her back but what do I say...I can be civil and nice to her but I really don't want to do this dog....I can hear the family gossip flying now about what a bitch I am for not at least trying to do her dog...yes it is that kind of family...lucky me!!!
