How do you keep

[odette]

from laughing at clients? A wick for flea drops, extra ears and all the oddball things thy say to us, What made you loose it right there? Lady call when I got back from vacation says that girl ruined my poo's coat! I said bring it right in so I can see what she did (sometimes she did mess up) Lady comes in with the fluffiest lil poo, and see what she did! The hair is straight,it's ruined! I lost it,,, poor lady waited till I calmed down and explained how hard she worked to get that nappy hair straight,misted and scrunched,voila corly poo.

Sometimes I have to leave the room, or if possible I wait till they leave, then I lose it.

Don't ask me... I have been in trouble more than a few times for rolling my eyes and asking the now famous (by me) quote, "are you seroius?"
Thats why I work with dogs... peoples is dumb!

It's hard

not to burst out laughing. Friday as I was grooming a Keeshound a customer came to pick up her Peke. She asked me what kind of dog I was working on and when I told her she said "oh, my brother has one of those. He has his fumigated." ????? What ! Handed her back her fresh, spoiled little peke and said with as much of a straight face as I could manage "did you mean furminated ?"

Sometimes I just can't help myself and I have to laugh. The laughter is almost always followed by some educational lesson for the client who then leaves laughing just as hard.
