[nagdu] Groomers revisited

[The Pawpower Pack]

My older dogs stay with our vet when I travel with my current working dog and his staff bathe them the day I pick them up. But I always bathe my working dog myself because I am a control freak. 
I also have always clipped my dogs nails, and have only quicked one dog one time, of course she was asleep on my bed and I thought it'd be a great chance to trim nails and that's when it happened. Blood everywhere. 
I have never had to trim Soleil's nails as she wears them down on the concrete.

> I can't really put my finger on why I wonder about her liking the groomer... she's just much more inconsistent the days she goes to the groomers.  Wonder if I should just book a Saturday appointment for her, not work her the rest of the day and just let her reset... and/or bring a water bowl when I pick her up... she didn't seem to drink at all and definitely didn't relieve while there.
