This Knowledge Is Worth Its Weight In Gold-en Retrievers
Customer: *Holds up a rubber grooming mitt.* “Now, this… is this for training the dog?”
Me: “Not quite; that’s a grooming glove. You wear it and brush your dog with it. Helps remove shedding fur.”
Customer: “Oh! Well, I don’t need it then. My puppy doesn’t shed.”
Me: “That’s lucky! What kind of dog do you have?”
Customer: “A golden retriever.”
Me: “…Oh.”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “Sir, twice a year your dog’s basically gonna be a living tumbleweed.”
I explained to him about double coats and seasonal shedding, all brand new information to him. He bought the grooming mitt.
