I thought about offering to do it myself. I have clippers and a place to do it. But what if the old dog is mean or something? I haven't "met" the dog, yet, because it's been so cold. They have a Chihuahua, too. The dogs stay in most of the time, but when it's time to go out they just let both dogs out the front door...there is no fence. I really hate that. My dogs go and greet the cocker through the fence but it's not like they're buds. The Chi doesn't come near the fence. I should probably take a picture of the dog and bring it in.

They know me by name at animal control. I'm not sure how much calling I should do (I call about and pick up strays a lot). :::conflicted:::
