Turbo's Grooming Grumbles

Ok I am a pretty tolerant dog most of the time. I let Feef walk by without jumping her... I let kids pat me on the head... I let Biff the Newfie drool all over me... I even let the groomers groom me without giving them any grief.... until NOW.
It all started innocently enough with Mom letting Meagan groom me. Things were slow in the salon, and I went willingly to my doom. Little did I know what horrors awaited me. I can't even speak of it - I have to let mom take over now... Oh, the shame...
Well poor Turbo - you can't imagine what he's going through. Let me preface the story with the fact that there's 2 feet of snow on the ground. Thats why the salon was so slow. Meagan brings Turbo out to me after he's been groomed, and she tells me "He's usually so good, but today he was being a little grump! He wouldn't let me groom his butt. He got all sorts of upset with me and all grumbly and fidgety."
"Hmmm" I said, "I wonder why"....
Fast forward a day, Turbo and I are playing around. He's learning a few tricks, like roll over and play dead. He wallows around on his back for a minute, legs flailing and I notice something I'd never noticed before. "Wow Turbo, when did your kahona's get so big!" Then it hit me... "Wow Turbo, when did your kahona's get so SHAVED???"
Yep, now I know why Turbo got mad at Meagan. She shaved his twins! There's 2 flippin feet of snow on the ground and she SHAVED HIS TWINS??? No wonder he's upset! That's gotta be darn cold on the poor lil' guy! When I told her why he's mad at her she felt VERY bad about it. She promised it will never happen again. Turbo is still taking a wide berth around the grooming salon entry door. He is not happy. Going out and playing in the snow is not nearly so much fun as it was.
Needless to say, it now says in BIG letters on his grooming card "Do NOT shave the boys!!!"

Hey Turbo,

I know how you feel, same thing happened to me, I think those goomers really should ask your Mom or Dad BEFORE they shave anything! At least in my case it was before there was snow on the ground and my fur grew back in time to keep the "little guys" from getting frozen.
