Ella's got her first trip to a groomers tomorrow.  I usually just bath her myself, but our new town has so many choices for groomers that I thought I'd give it a try.  A local pet store (that I love) has a separate small pet salon w/ just one groomer and a helper.  It's by appointment only and I loved that her first questions were "what's your dog's name" "what breed of dog is she". Then once she had the type of dog, then she could schedule for the time she would need for Ella.
