Duke's new do

Yesterday was the big trip to VIP Grooming Salon for Duke.
I pulled out the short leash and boy was he ever ready to go.

I couldn't get the little guy in focus. He was so excited that we were going. He was at the door all a wiggle with anticipation.

Come on mom, back this car out of the driveway and lets get this show on the road.  

Just so you all know, when I dropped him off I asked about taking pictures. I explained that all of Duke's adoring fans would be disappointed if I chickened out. Of course she was more than happy to let us get a shot or two. She even tried to get Duke's attention so I could get one in focus. 


Back home again and Duke is showing off his new look and his stylish bandanna. He also walked out with a little bag of home made dog treats. For me there was a handy dandy business card fridge magnet and a card good for 50% off on grooming after 5 visits. 
So the verdict on the new groomer.
She:
  • made Duke look very handsome
  • gave Duke yummy goodies
  • she's very close to home
  • has convenient hours
  • got my attention with the 50% off card
Yep, we've got a new groomer. Heck Duke may even get there more often now.
So if you think that Vickie did a good job on Duke, why not stop on by her facebook page and tell her Duke sent you :)

Adorable pics!

And, oh I like the new groomer, Vickie! The first thing I noticed in the pic was how clean the room was, wow!

Loved the post and I still think Duke is the cutest (male dog) in the whole world, even ungroomed.

hugs, xo

Duke, you look very handsome :)
Oh, I stopped by and visited her Facebook page. It looks like you hit the jackpot with this groomer.

J. M. P. said...

That's a good job, Duke looks great and happy :)

Jen said...

How does that saying go again? The only difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about 3 weeks *laugh*. Thankfully, I don't think the Dukester will have to wait this one out - two thumbs way up for your handsome (and well groomed) boy.
This lady sounds like a keeper to me. I'm betting it's like us with farriers; when you find a good one, make like glue and stick with them! ('cause they are rare ;o)

Unknown said...

Okay, I went over to her page and left a comment, and it was a good one, too! I'll put it on your bill.
