Buud And Me

Precious gets a new do

Robin, our daughter, made a remark that Precious looks like a boy. Well, I didn’t comment at the time but we were at the beauty parlor the next day.

We haven’t had our pups trimmed before, we bathe them ourselves, and so we didn’t have a regular grooming parlor to go to. Several months ago we tried a mobile dog washing service but there were problems. When we were paying for the service, just in conversation, I asked, “How did they do?” The lady said both of our dogs are spoiled brats. Now that was an affront to our family and a reflection on the up-bringing of our dogs. Well that was the last for mobile dog wash.

Sandy, another of our daughters, has two balls of fur, Bella and Mason, both Shih Tzu’s, who we knew must need frequent grooming. Sandy always knows the best places to go so we asked her for a suggestion. Jazzy Pet Grooming was her choice so we gave it a try.

It was a long way from our home but Buud and Precious didn’t care; they sensed they were going somewhere special. We opened the side door and the hatch of the van and each pup jumped in. Buud got right into his pet carrier that we keep in the back of the van and Precious took her place on the back seat. Maxine and I both wondered how they would like this new experience. Buud was going for a bath with instructions not to cut a hair, and precious was going for the works…a new do.

Jazzy Pet Grooming is behind a seafood restaurant and mechanic shop, in a metal warehouse. It was a little difficult to find as it doesn’t look like most grooming parlors. We had no reservations, however, as Sandy said they were great, and we ran into a good friend who was at the mechanic shop when we got there and he agreed. Precious had no concerns…when we stopped and opened the door, she jumped out of the car and disappeared through the door of the shop. We could hear someone in the back greeting her so we collected Buud and went in.

If Jazzy Pet Grooming is as good as the people are nice, we’ve got a winner. Miss Dianne took Buud in her arms and carried him to the back; Precious was already there. When she returned we discussed what we would like done and we asked if she would take a photo or two for their blog. She agreed and we went home to wait. Now here is a nice feature of Jazzy; they don’t close at 5:00. Sandy says they are there sometimes as late as 11:00. That meant we didn’t have to rush back and could miss the peak traffic. For us, that is really nice.

We returned at 7:30 and the pups were almost ready. Miss Dianne just wanted to take a picture of the two together, all dressed in their new bandannas. While we waited we met the nicest young lady, Chelsea, who is their dog walker. No idle paws at Jazzy, Chelsea walks them three at a time. Buud came out first in Miss Dianne’s arms and then Precious came sauntering through the door as if she was showing off her new hair style. They both looked beautiful but Precious was the lady of the hour. She was gorgeous, a beautiful young lady, at least in our eyes. Who looks like a boy now?

I was thrilled at how nice they looked after their grooming but I think my main concern was that they enjoyed the experience. Miss Dianne took sixty pictures, documenting the entire process, and there is no doubt they enjoyed it. I’m happy and We’ll be back.

Groomer’s report:

They both did beautifully. (No spoiled brats)

Buud loved the other dogs in the grooming room.

Buud liked the hair dryer but not so for Precious.

Neither pup liked having their nails done.
