Cruddy Critters Suds N Style

(Author unknown) The Night Before Christmas Grooming Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the shop Not a groomer was stirring, they'd all come to a stop... The stockings were hung by the dryer with care, Unfortunately each one was stuffed full of hair! The bathers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of chapped hands danced in their heads. The groomer's new clippers lay nestled in her lap She had just passed out, t'was a long needed nap! When in the reception there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter. Away to the reception desk I flew like a flash, Forgot about my new clippers they fell with a crash. The moon high in the sky shone in thru the door Illuminating paw prints I'd missed on the floor. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight filthy reindeer. With a little old driver, I almost felt sick I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. He never pre-booked but each year he came I kept calling to remind him but it was always the same. "Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! Inside to the Hall! It's time for some grooming!! Baths for you all!! Twigs and leaves stuck to them, mud up to the eye, When I laid my eyes on them I thought I would die. So into the bathing room everyone of them flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, Blitzen stopped for a poo!! And then, very softly, I heard a throat clear Santa looked bashful he wouldn't come near. For he knew that we'd worked for fourteen days straight Right at this moment he pondered his fate! 'Dear groomer' he said, staring down at his feet 'I need you to help me, even though you feel beat' 'My reindeer are filthy, they stink like a skunk' 'How'd you like riding behind them getting covered in gunk?' I stood there, mouth open, tried to hold back the tears Why could he not book ahead after all of these years? But I saw straight away I would have to be quick I couldn't be responsible for letting down old St Nick! I woke all the bathers they complained with good reason As I told them about our last job of the season. I saw teeth grit, thought I was in for a fight, But they rolled up their sleeves I was so proud that night! Water was turned on, bathing systems priming Reindeer into the bath with military timing. First shampoo, conditioner, rinse then HV'ed Some carding to finish, in the cage hope none pee'd! When we all finished up the reindeer each looked divine I went to my drawer for the very last time. Bandanas were cut and tied on one-by-one A little Spritz of cologne and, voila, they were done! Tears welled in his eyes as Santa looked at his team Groomers saved Christmas, and so it would seem, And as they flew off, a faint voice I did hear... 'Hey groomer, can I pre-book for the same time next year?' To cute not to share Merry Christmas Everyone

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER Meg - 2 year old Spayed Female, Black Labrador Retriever mix Meg was left with several other dogs in our outside kennels in Jul...y 2019. All of these dogs were extremely scared and were not used to human interaction. Meg has been slowly gaining confidence and loves other dogs. She has learned to trust the staff members and volunteers that she sees on a regular basic but Meg is still wary of any new people. Meg has tested well with cats but with her still being so fearful she would not be suitable for a home with children under 16. She gains confidence when with other dogs so Meg would need to have a canine companion in her new home. If you have a quiet home and the patience to help Meg become a confident dog stop by and meet with her. Available as of 11/09/19
