Overly Dramatic Husky Throws A Fit At The Groomer
Fredo’s first appointment with his groomer, Girl With The Dogs, went exactly as she expected…dramatically! Dogs aren’t always fans of baths, and huskies in particular seem to voice their dislike.

The 10-month-old dog begins his protests by trying to and escape the bath-tub (that’s why he has a safety chain on) and turns off the water several times. Throughout it all he let out howls of p... read more
