Today they took me to a place which smelled like... I guess there is no other word for it except, dogs!

I liked it... I wandered as far as my leash would let me and I checked out the place. I could also smell soap and I loved it!

Then I saw a big dog walk out of the room at the end of the hallway, he looked terrified of me.

I tried to say hi, but he freaked out so bad that he jumped a few feet into the air and straight onto the sofa where his owner sat and hid behind him.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Anna and mama laughed but I was confused. Dint he want to talk to me?

Before long I was whisked away into the room where the big dog came from. There was a glass partition between the grooming area and a big steel tub.

I did not fuss, mostly because I was too scared to open my mouth. I let them pour water on me and lather me up in soap. I could see that mama and Anna were standing on the other side of the glass and watching.

The guy who was washing me suddenly left the room and I was tied to the tub wet, soapy and very cold.

Finally the guy returned to wash off the soap and took me to the grooming table. This was particularly difficult now because he took a giant blow dryer. I was freezing at it is and now I couldn't stop shaking.

But it was over now my family came to comfort me as they began to cut my hair. This part felt good. I don't mind cutting hair, except for my face.

Irrational though it was, I hated anyone bringing scissors or something in front of my face. I had this uncontrollable urge to bite them.

An hour later, I was done.

They bathed me, cut my nails, trimmed my hair and even gave my hair an extra nourishing coat of some cream thing. I liked the smell.

Then we were off to go home. I was so tired that I slept the rest of the way back home.
