A Grooming Experience

So today I took Ego to get groomed for the first time. I went and picked him up and he looked really cute. He was really hyper, I guess he was just happy to see us. He was very jumpy too, which is not normal for him. I put him in the car and we began to drive home. I got almost home and I looked at him and noticed his tail was longer than I remember and he looked a little bigger and skinnier. I decided this was not my dog. I started to drive back to the groomers and I called Cody to tell him what had happened. I took a picture and sent it to him. He called back and said that he think I am wrong and that it could be Ego. We had never seen Ego groomed before and they look so different when they are groomed. At this point he started making me questions myself, but I knew there was no way our dogs tail could have grown. When I got back to the groomer I told them that this wasn't my dog. She went in the back to look at the dogs, came back dogless and asked if I had a westie. Ummm, no, my dog is black, Westies are white. So she went back again and brought me out a black dog, Yeah, it was my dog!! When I saw Ego I was mad at myself that I hadnt noticed I had the wrong dog from the beginning. The girl that owned the dog I took walked in right at the time too. I went to the Manager and they decided to give me a free add on to my groom next time, a whole $20 value, I guess it was better than nothing, but it took me asking for compensation, than them just offering it. At least I got my dog back and the girl got her dog back too! Here is a picture of the dog they gave me.



And here is my dog.

Oh my! That is so bad that they did that! It's a good thing you figured it out sooner rather then later!

How have you liked having a dog? I always wanted one, but lately I have been relating one to just more work...

I would be annoyed too, and I think my heart would skip a beat if I thought my dog had gone home to someone esle...
