[nagdu] My turn to go to school

[d m gina]

now my goodness, we had a gal in class whose dog got the soap in the bathroom,
She was always having something happening to her dog.
I have personal thoughts on that, but will be a nice girl and not notty.

>> Lastly, find local grooming salons if you’re not willing to bathe your

>> the supplies offered at the salon’s station. This is a low-cost way of
>> getting your guide clean without having to pay out of the wazoo and
>> clean up a big mess afterward.

>> Must-haves after returning Home:
>> Food, Poop bags, Large dog bed
>> Toys: see what kinds your dog likes and what activities your dog
>> enjoys (i.e. chewing, tugging, playing fetch)
>> Crate and crate pad, Extra leash, Dog booties, Tie down
>> Preventive meds, Ear cleaning solution
>> Comb, brush, and rake
>> One or two towels
>> Optional supplies:
>> Doggy shampoo
>> Rain slicker, Winter jacket
>> Travel bag/back pack for dog supplies, Collapsible/portable water dish
>> Treats
>> Nail file or drimmel nail grinder

>> Be blessed on your journey with your new guide.
