Mugwump's Fish World

I hated doing it but I did.  Doing it stressed me out.  The wife called today for an appointment and told her that I had decided to no longer groom their two Schnauzers.  I'd been thinking about if for a long time.  I've groomed their dogs since they were puppies.

Several months ago the husband came in irate 2 days after I'd groomed his dog.  He bitched me out!  THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ME, EVER!!!!  I can nail a Schnauzer.  When the dog left my shop I thought that I'd never made that dog so sharp.   I was proud of my groom.  He had the nerve enter my shop and bitch me out 2 days later????  He was really pissed off huh 

I was so taken aback!  I calmed him down rather than get into a fight.   I needed time to think about it for a long time before I knew what I had to do.  I have groomed their dogs several times since then.  Used to be that the wife would make the appointment and the husband would bring the dogs.  I haven't seen the husband since our incident.  What's up with that?  I he a sissy man huh

I know it's nothing, but firing them was very hard for me.  I like being a nice guy at work and I had to be the polite bitch from hell.  When the wife got her wits together and asked me why, I said the truth.  I said that I no longer took the pleasure in grooming their dogs that I once did.  She said, "Thank you for your honest reply."  I know damn well that she can read between the lines.

Forgive me for the long rant.  I can't help it.  I have to put it into words and send it somewhere before I will be able to sleep. 

Do what you have to do, Liz. And don't look back.

Sleep tight, Liz. You did right!

Some folks just don't deserve kindness, and good service.....you did right...let it go.......
