Last Feb 9th was Nutmeg's second birthday, and she had a pawrty at her blog...and a kissing booth, too! Her Mom made pics of all who attended that party, including us. Link to the pawrty, Here. Link to the kissing booth images, HERE.
Last week we had a fail of a Valentine party at one of the local pet shops...yesterday our favorite and closer to us pet shop had a pawrty for 'Love Your Pet Day'...it was that and a bit of a belated VD party as well, since everything on the display table was heart related. Good thing us pups wore our newest Valentine's Day bandanas!
And we made pawprints, though that didn't work out that well...BOL!
There were some free samples, including new cleaning supply ones...what?? We don't make messes, do we?? Everything got put in a Valentine's Day bag to carry home.
And yes there were 'pup cups' too! YUM!
While we were waiting our turn, a lady came out of the grooming room, and said they were doing discounted nail trims...oh oh...
Petcretary said sure, it will save me a job, and Dalton was first to be the victim...um...customer. So the nice lady picked up his pup cup and him, and into the room they went. Petcretary could see that he 'froze'...though he didn't make any noise or growls. When he came out of there his pup cup was untouched...but he lapped it right up as soon as he was back with petcretary.
Then it was Benji's turn...along with his pup cup they went...and he too didn't touch it while getting his nails trimmed. When they came out of there, he looked anxious, which is strange for him...and he REFUSED his pup cup altogether! He seemed rather uneasy the rest of the time spent there.
Then the groomer lady said, look there is blood on the floor! OMD! It was from one of Dalton's back paws...so out came the styptic powder and it stopped bleeding. And another dude came and cleaned up the floor...then the manager came by, and seeing what had happened, he declared that there would be no fee charged for the nail trims on us pups...I think he felt bad, cause he knows us well, and he also knows how Dalton is with all his issues.
We met some other pups, but there was one girl hound dog who was barking her head off the whole time she was in there, There was another pup, a big boy, that when Benji approached at first they were OK with each other, then suddenly there were mutual snarls, so good thing every pup that comes in there is always on a leash, so Benji got yanked away. And no harm done...
Dalton had fun sniffing the shoes and pant legs of several ladies, and he received pets from them with no cowering. Sometimes he feels safer than others.
When we left the store, we were more than happy to quickly get back into the car! 'Lets go HOME, NOW, petcretary!'

 |
| This is my stink eye, directed at you, Petcretary. |
 |
| I don't want/need this pup cup, even though I love them...and now Dalton is stealing it. I hope I get extra treats at home to compensate. |
 |
| Let's get going... |
 |
| to home...where the treats are and no more nail clips on the sly. |

You all look amazingly dapper and happy in your Valentine's Day gear. And what wonderful treats you got, too. I never get anything if I have my claws clipped, which to be fair may be because of how grumpy I get, MOL
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week

ReplyDeleteOh dear, that was a little bit sneaky... but I am sure that the shortened nails must feel good now? Very decent of the place to let you go with a freebie, too - shows they take pride in their work and are willing to admit their errors. Have a snuggly Sunday! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Yummy for the pup cups and both of you look so handsome in your Valentine bandanas! Bummer about your nicked nail, Dalton.
ReplyDeleteOh no Dalton, you got nipped by the Clippers. That really was not good. Otherwise it sounds like it could have been a great day at the store. And you did get up cup. We hope all the toenails are growing back by now.
ReplyDeleteThose pedicures do sound a bit traumatic!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Ollie
Such indignities, but you got treats...so it's all evened out, no?
ReplyDeleteYay for pup cups, boo on nail clipping.
ReplyDeleteYou two sure had a good...and bad time at that party. You do look cute in your bandanas.
ReplyDeleteThose pup cups look good. And you are both looking gorgeous :-D Hope you spoiled Nutmeg :-D

ReplyDeleteWHAT A FUN PAWTY NUTMEG...
ReplyDeleteI WANNA A PUP CUP
HUGS CECILIA
Good thing you got those pup cups to make up for that less than stellar Valentine's Day pawty!
ReplyDeleteThat was kind of a crappy way to end a pawty I must say lol. Who wants to get their nails clipped at a pawty??? I LOVE THE PHOTOS! The bandanas look exactly like a tablecloth I bought on Amazon for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Nutmeg had quite the party, that's for sure!"
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, we're sorry to hear about Dalton's poor toe bleeding from the trim, but at least there were pup cups, sí? And it's always fun to go for a sniff!"
So sorry about the deepn cut nail...despite the blood, it was a bargain and no doubt the lady who did it felt just awful. You guys handled all the hub-bub well. Love your pretty Valentine's Day bandanas. You looked soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? A little nail trim? Does you good guys, or you end up with bended paws OK???
