Spoiled Rotten
I completely forgot.
I felt terrible.
My poor, spoiled rotten, Blue Dawg.
When we first rescued her, we were told that she had been abused in a crate and that she was, therefore, terrified of crates.
Not using a crate was a condition of the adoption.
I agreed.
On the rare occasion when I need to confine her, I just tie her off on her leash.
She has no problem with this.
Our groomer understood and has never put her in a crate.
But we recently lost our groomer, and we had to find a new one.
I completely forgot about the crate issue until Blue and I arrived for her appointment.
The groomer told me that it’s company policy to use a crate.
She told me that she’ll do her best with my dog, and if there’s a problem, she’ll call me.
I worried all morning.
I didn’t want Blue to be traumatized.
She’s been through more than enough already.
But I never got the call.
They told me that Blue had no problem at all with the crate.
She was calm and happy when I picked her up, so I know they told me the truth.
I’m so glad that our spoiled rotten girl has, apparently, forgotten her past trauma.
Yay rescue dogs!
Good girl, Blue, good girl.
