Pet Grooming Short Story Series

Buster the bulldog strutted into the salon, his tongue lolling and tail wagging like he owned the place. While the groomer chatted with his human, Buster spotted something magical:a shiny lavender shampoo bottle peeking from the supply cabinet.

With stealth worthy of a cartoon spy, he waddled over, grabbed the bottle, and proudly carried it to his bed. Eyes closed, he gave the cap a satisfied lick, convinced he’d found the world’s best chew toy.

But Buster’s treasure hunt came to a bubbly end. The groomer reclaimed the shampoo and whisked him off to the tub. Within seconds, water splashed everywhere, suds flew through the air, and Buster’s big grin said it all he may have lost the bottle, but he was winning at bath time.

Moral: In the world of grooming, you never know who’s the real troublemaker: the pet or the shampoo.
