Yesterday was a long day. I got up about 7:00AM, made breakfast and cleaned up. Then took the dog to the Groomer at 8:30AM. Yes I took him to Critter Cleaners, E.T.C.Jester, just right down the street, about 3 blocks away from home. So, I dropped him off, thinking he was going to be so handsome when Marlita got done shampooing and cutting his hair about 3 inches long everywhere. I really thought Marlita was a caring,nice, professional dog groomer. She clipped his toenails before the Texas Classic, and I discussed at length with her about cutting his hair, and that I would come back after the Classic. Well, I dropped him off at 8:30AM, Marlita said she would call when he was ready to be picked up. Ok. I believed her. Time was going by and then all of a sudden it was 3PM. So she never called, I called her instead. Ring, Ring, Ring, Marlita's helper answers the phone and asks me my name I said"Katrina Martin", then he says , "Hold on Marlita needs to talk to you". I said,"OK". Marlita gets on the phone crying and can barely take a breath to talk. She says,"I am so sorry, I was clipping his hair then I clipped his ear a little.(Breathe, Cry,Cry, Breathe) I said," Calm down, it's ok, I am sure it was just a minor cut and the Animal Emergency Clinic will take care of it". Then she says as she's crying,"Thor is down at the Animal Emergency Clinic, I just took him down there, when he gets done there I will bring him back here to the shop to finish his hair". So I am like,"Ok, just calm down, please call me when he's ready to come home". So I get off of the phone and tell Dan everything she said. He says," He's been there since 8:30AM, ok we'll wait on her call." Dan says,"Are you hungry?" I said ,"Yes. Then Dan says,"Let's go get some hot dogs from James'." I am thinking the whole time to myself that Dan is trying to get my mind off of the dog, it worked. Then 5PM rolled around so went up to the Critter Cleaners, since Marlita has not called... I went inside and asked Marlita's helper,"Where's Thor, Is he back her yet?" He said,"She's back there". So I saw Marlita grooming a cat, and Thor wasn't there. I said,"I dropped him off at 8:30 this morning, where's my dog Dammit... She said, " He's at the ...Cry...Cry..., They have given him Anethesia, he should be back here soon...So I got real mad and Dan just had to walk out of the place because he asked her 5 times what is the address of the Emergency Animal Clinic...She never could answer. Ok, so we kinda got a 1111 address. By the galleria, blah, blah. That's not the address. Anyways we got there eventually. I went in, Dan stayed in the car thinking I would just go in and get Thor. Wrong, but that's a whole other long drawn out story about how much hell my dog has had to go through because of some stupid bitch dog groomer named Marlita. I have her address also, she lives 2 blocks away from where I am right now. So, Thor has a chunk taken out of his left ear, about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide, he now has stiches. I will have to take him to the Vet on Monday. Well, I am sorry I couldn't go to the Monument Show today I was home with my Thor boy all day.
