This morning my wife was in search of a place to get our dog groomed. Yep, ol' Cowboy was in dire need of professional help. A deft Google search put her in touch with a few places that sounded right, but within a click or two she realized things had gone horribly wrong.
Now honestly, I hate to judge a website based on a few misspelled words. In an effort to cut 'em a little slack, I tried to keep in mind that my wife wasn't searching for a Public Relations professional. Rather, somebody with the ability to make Cowboy look less BigFoot and more Schnoodle. There is a difference, ya know:
Bigfoot
Schnoodle
So anyway, who am I to judge....but I did get a bit confused when I read on their home page:
"We have A/C and heating....
the dogs will have country side view and walking area."
As in, we (humans) get to enjoy the nice pleasantries of an air-conditioned room. The dogs, well, they just get the country side view. Sounds good to me.
Yeah, I know....they really meant to say that the dogs also had a/c and heat, they just didn't state it outright. No problems with that. I guess it was the next one that got me. The part that said,
"With every groom or bath the dog will come home with a
colorful banana."
say what?????
That's right, a colorful banana.
Since I noted a picture on the previous page of a dog sporting a bandanna, I was fairly comfortable with the fact that they meant to say bandanna. But I did crack a smile thinking about the song -
While we had a good chuckle, I'm sad to say that Cowboy still sits at home looking like Bigfoot: desperate for a hot bath, a close shave, and a colorful banana. When I called the dog groomers, asking if they knew how to make him look less like Bigfoot and more like Schnoodle, they said,
"No, but if you hum a few bars, maybe I can fake it."
So....why can't they be that funny on their website? More humor....less bananas.
Word.
