Harley McGuire, love of my life – your writing skills never cease to amaze me:-).
If you allow me the displeasure of attempting to brush you, trim toe fur, and clip nails, this afternoon might be your lucky day for a trip to Pet Smart. Since you’re probably the reason your former groomer no longer works there, we needn’t worry about horrified stares from the grooming salon! Oh, what would I do without you?
