This is the response from a 6 year old when I called to tell his grandfather that his dog was ready.
So this dog, Snow Prince, a small American Eskimo, comes in (5 months after I told them to come in every 10-12 weeks and the price would be a little lower). He had a seizure right as he stepped inside the last grooming shop he went to, after they said he was "difficult" for the first groom. So they gave him some Benadryl to calm him, but I don't think he needs it. He's fine, and he licks my face on occasion, and is NEVER nasty like many AE's I've groomed. Regardless, I don't want him staying too long and stressing out.
Anyway, so I called to have the owners pick him up and a little boy answers the phone, and I say, "Is your grandpa there?" And he said something though I don't recall what, then I heard him hit one of the phones buttons, then hang up. I thought he had dropped the phone because he was little.
I called back. He said, "What do you want NOW?" I said, "What?! Is your grandfather there?" CLICK.
I called again (this dog needed to go home). I said, "Is Snow Prince your dog?" "Yes," "Well, it's time for him to go home," and he said something snotty and hung up again! I called and he hung up again, and I thought, "That is IT! I'm calling and telling him that I'm KEEPING Snow Prince until he gets his grandpa on the phone!" So I called and his grandpa answered. I told him what the boy had done, and he acted surprised.
Well, when the little fatty came in it didn't surprise me. He came in with nothing and left with a toy and a soda from the pop machine. I told the little fatso that I was going to GIVE HIM A HAIRCUT, and he shook his head. And just as he was about to walk out with grandpa, I pretended to lead him by the arm to get a "haircut," he was NOT pleased, lol. If I'd have had time I'd have lectured him right there in front of his grandpa. Somebody's got to do it, the little brat!!!
