Due to the Holiday rush, I ended up calling around and finding a different groomer for our puppy, so that she can get a bath and a nail grinding before we invade DH's family for Thanksgiving.  I sincerely hope he does a good job because he is HALF the price of our regular groomer (Petsmart is not kind if you want the nails ground - took the price of a plain old bath up to almost 40$!!)

Usually I do the bath myself and take her in to have her ears cleaned and nails ground once a month or so, but it's cold and I don't feel like waiting for hours til she's dry, since she won't let me use the hair dryer on her.

What do you take your pets to the groomers for?
