                The Top 9 Worst Pet Grooming Tips


9> Restore luster to your goldfish by running them through
   the dishwasher.

8> Licking out your dog's ear wax yourself will accomplish both
   good grooming AND bonding!

7> 1) Tie the leash to the luggage rack
   2) Take a quick trip through the car wash
   3) The drive home should dry them off

6> You can dry your cat off faster after her bath if you ditch
   the blow dryer and use a leaf blower.

5> Wear your ferret as a toupee so you can look good, too.

4> Your dog's tongue will usually be hanging out, so have it dyed
   to match his coat.

3> Kitty need a cleaning? Drench her in bacon grease, turn your
   Labrador loose in the same room and voila!

2> Why bother clipping nails when you can just bite them off
   yourself?


          and the Number 1 Worst Pet Grooming Tip...


1> Throw a couple handfuls of catnip in the bubble bath and kitty
   will take to it just fine.
