2 groomers have failed .First at Dogatopia where I don’t think he liked the big girl. I may be wrong. His other groomer, the nice Korean had told me that he was very anxious . That was before Arizona. My concern is that he picked up these nasty burrs in Arizona and with grooming they were pinched. The first groomer left him literally half groomed looking like a clown dog. I tried to take him to another groomer and she said he would n’t let him near his face and she was afraid he’d bite her. He resisted my trying to cut off his matted clumps . I succeeded in getting a few but not around his face.
All the while this was occurring the toilet was clogged and winter was ugly.
Today I have my fingers crossed and am praying because I don’t know what else I can do. They will anesthetize him if needed. I can’t feed him now. I’ve bought de tangle shampoo and admit I’ll have to do more cutting and grooming and combing and brushing and really hope that he’ll settle down and be able to be groomed more frequently. He’d had several grooming without a problem.
I became overwhelmed with this . I am really thankful for Dr. Biernacki. I understand how much difficulty parents face raising kids. He’s a difficult child and frankly I can only assume a groomer was rough and away from me I had no part in the development of the problem but now I have a problem and thankfully today Sabrina and Dr. Biernacki may go along way to solving it. I am to give him a dose of gabapentin before leaving home
I changed my routine and am discombobulated. My back hurts. I used to write funny stories of these struggles but it’s ugly outside, my back hurts and I am worrying . Please God help us through this. Help Madigan overcome his fear. He’s chewing a stick. I worry I don’t walk him enough. I walk him 3 or 4 times a day 1-2 hours and he’s with me all day. He’s still only 2 and some months. So I pray that he becomes less anxious.
He piddled a couple of times when I was gone. That wasn’t an issue for many months and now here it is . I’ve gone for a few hours I came back to a little piddle by the door.
He’s chewed up my comforters and blankets. He stopped that and then one day I found a nother tear on a new blanket. I don’t know what I’m doing different from the dogs before him . I think Covid and the isolation reduced his socialization.
Now I’m up early and facing a long day of patients after driving him to the vet and getting home. I’ve a cheque to pick up and bills to pay and it’s Thursday. I’ll get it all done by Friday after noon but I’ve been discombobulated by the toilet and his haircut and the deluge of dues payments and bad news from government.
I pray to God to help me through these little hills that are only big because of my sensitivity.
this too will pass. All shall be well. Thank you Lord for the day for this life for all of your blessings.
I saw robins yesterday and know spring is coming.
Thank you Jesus. Please protect Madigan and make him strong and calm.
