[NAGDU] grooming dogs in a big city and Leader Latin class

[Becky Frankeberger]

I still think an old blanket or old sheet is her best plan. A dirt Devil vacuum is like forty bucks at wal-mart. That does a decent job of picking up dog hair.

The sheet can be folded so the hair stays inside until she can shake it out somewhere outside once a month, and then wash the sheet. The sheet can go under her couch or bed and won't take up much space.

Becky who knows what tiny apartments are like.

All right wonderful friends.

Here is a query a friend who lives in New York City asked me about, I'm trying to  get her to join the list but anyway, she asked me and frankly I have no idea, so I'll ask you.

She lives in New York City. She doesn't want to brush her dog in her apartment because of dog hair or whatever, but she's wondering is there anywhere else she can go to brush the dog outside of her apartment?

  she apparently went out to the sidewalk  When she did that, some folks she said seemed like they were from Russia  or spoke English with a Russian accent started complaining that "you are blocking public area" 
and they would complain to the manager--l ( just telling it as I heard it).ol. Though I must say if it's a public area why should they complain to a n apartment manager.

anyway, She sat by the building but on the sidewalk, and was going to pick up the hair in a bag,,,

so I told her when I lived in an apartment in Maryland I usually brushed my pup on my balcony and then occasionally vacuumed it. otherwise when I thought it was goo cold just did it in my apartment and if I was really concerned I'd put down a sheet.

So is that what  I   should  tell her. Actually she's nice but what I want to tell her is don't sweat the small stuff. who knows though maybe there's some creative solution I haven't thought of.


So now I'm curious, those of you in big cities or high rises or whatever, where do you go to groom your pup or you just do it in your apartment.



As far as Leader and students from Latin America, I know Leader takes groups of say 3 to six at a time a few time a year but never heard of a class only for Latin American students but you know I could be wrong.

Yours,

Dan the man with Parker who actually is usually brushed on my porch here in Florida in the cool of the morning.
