OK everyone thanks for taking the time to answer Calvin's questions. However, for Calvin's snark remark about Pops' "not being the sharpest knife in the drawer". Well ... he ain't getting any Jumbones or Dentastix for a week, may be even a month!
Anyways, we just got back from our Petsmart, then his run in the desert thing. So I figured I'd give you'all an update.
Man that Furmanator is a wicked mean looking tool. I did take the time to ask a few questions over in Petsmart's grooming salon. The groomer was real nice, answered my questions, gave me instructions and warning when using it. Shen then showed me how it worked on the dog she was grooming (about Calvin's size, etc.).
After she saw / read my body language that I wasn't really sure about it. She told me about, as well as showing me how to use the Kong Zoom Groom rubber brush looking thing which she uses on her dogs.
So Pops opted to for go the Furmanator, and bought the Zoom Groom and a new back up Kong Ball for Calvin.
And Daisy, I heard that. Calvin's still ain't getting no stink'in Jumbone's or Dentastix's!
Thanks again!
Pops
