Hey!
It's Gershwin here this week, squeezing a blog post in at the midnight hour. It's been busy at our house with remodeling and puppy class, so I haven't had as much time to type!
What I'm here to tell all of you is that, after all that happened with the groomer and our awful ear infections, Mommy and Mom filed with the small claims court.
Tovah Rose and I couldn't blog about it because we didn't want to risk Mommy's chance of getting a settlement.
I am happy to report that Mommy was able to recoup the vet bills plus the court filing fees. The only money she didn't recoup was the grooming fee. This is a huge financial stress lifted.
Many of you continued to ask how we were all doing and if Mommy and Mom planned to take any action against the groomer. Because the groomer had been alerted to my post on Facebook about the situation, I could no longer elaborate on what the plans were.
We're all very relieved to have this behind us. Mommy was able to settle with the insurance company and avoid having to go to small claims court.
Mommy still feels guilty about what happened, but she also says she has learned a lot from the experience.
Please, please, please triple check a recommendation to a new groomer. Document everything. Ask on Facebook for people's experiences. Look on review sites. Talk to the dog people in your town. Specify exactly what you want and do not want done when your puppy is groomed.
We live in a small town and Mommy trusted the recommendation for this groomer (since it came from another groomer).
Mommy did try to work out an agreement with the groomer, but it wasn't possible. The last thing she wanted to do was take someone to small claims court. But we all knew she was doing the right thing. If you ever find yourself in this type of situation, please stand up for yourself and us puppies! We don't want other dogs to go through what we did.
Thanks for all of your support during this stressful time!
Happy (belated) Monday!
Blessings,
Gershwin and Tovah Rose

I'm so glad that you were able to get a settlement. I'm sorry that you and the puppies had to go through such an ordeal though. :( I'm glad that is behind you all now.
