The first half of our field trip was a disaster; the second half was amazing. To start off, we went to Pet Smart. Chimmie was very excited at first, but after a few minutes he was afraid of the sound of his nails on the hard floor. Linda tried to find him a sweater since it's so chilly now in the mornings. She held the sweater up to his back and he screeched, yipped and cried like she used a bull whip on him! Three sales associates came running to see what the problem was. After that, it went even further down hill. There wasn't a line at the groomers, so she took him in to get his nails cut. Linda warned the 6 groomers standing around doing nothing that he would cry, but they were all like "Pishaw.. we do this for a living and have seen it all." Well, they haven't seen Chimmie. The girl set him up on the metal table and he started shaking and crying. She picked up his paw to use the clippers and he peed all over her, the table and screamed bloody murder.... before she got the clippers close to him. They managed to get one nail clipped and promptly gave him back to her. He did not try to bite or anything, it was just his screaming and flipping out. Linda was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl under the counter. During the fiasco, Linda recognized an old friends brother and got to meet his Bull Mastiff puppy Sherman (I guess as in tank.) The dog will grow to be over 200 pounds! Yikes. On the way out of Pet Smart, she felt so bad that she bought Chim a pack of 6 mini-tennis balls, the kind he loves. Since Chimmie isn't the boss, Linda continued with the plans and went to the Organic Pet store. He LOVED it there. What? Yep, took treats from everyone, played nice with the dogs and even did a few tricks. This is our free haul: Raw goats milk, a raw chicken sausage and a deer antler. The raw milk and food is from some organic farm in Pennsylvania. It is supposed to make dogs digestion systems work properly and the paper claims it cures everything. The lady said it would help Choop's seizures. The deer antler will last years (so the lady said) but Linda is betting Chimmie destroys it in a few days. UPDATE: I have commandeered the deer antler and will not let Chim near it. In fact, I'm growling and showing my teeth when he tries to take it from me. I'm too tired to keep chewing, so I'm laying my entire body on top of it so he can't get at it. Looks like Linda will need to go back to the store and get him his own.
