We took our poodle Millie to Petsmart on I-35 for grooming Sat morning. They called to say she jerked real bad while they were trimming her face. The clippers cut into her cheek and they wanted permission to take her to the vet. The vet had to take interior and exterior stitches because the cut was so deep. While under anestesia on the operating table she had a heart attack and died.
Millie insisted on looking through the fence at the passersby on the sidewalk. We put windows at her level in the fence for her to see out. It was the first place she went in the yard. We plan to put her ashes in that corner next to the red crepe myrtle. She will like that.
I know this is sad news for dog lovers. I just want you to be aware that our pets don't have to be sick to die and that a mundate trip, such as to the grooming salon, can turn into a tragedy. No one expects to drop off her pet for grooming and never see her again.
