The box that never was

Another email sent to the dog grooming client’s list.


This afternoon, my next-door neighbor Fred came in my front door. His forehead creased with concern and he inquired as to whether I’d received a package, meant for him, but delivered to me.

He said he just watched Fedex leave and that he didn’t get anything but now his tracking page shows delivered.

I told him no. No package or FedEx driver had come in any time recently. Thankfully, Fred and I are very good friends. He knew I wouldn’t lie to him about such a thing.

He laughed, shrugged his shoulders, told me to have a great day, and he left.

But, it got me thinking, what if he didn’t believe me? How awkward if he thought I did indeed receive his package but then wasn’t telling him about it.

Quite the hypothetical rabbit hole, I know…

And then it struck me, this is not too unlike what happens when you’re looking for someone to take your beloved furry friend’s looks from disheveled to dapper.

Trust is the currency, isn’t it?

Think about it, entrusting your pup for a full makeover, much like trusting a neighbor that no package arrived, requires faith.

It’s all about believing in the integrity and skill of the people taking care of what matters to you.

Your pooch, after all, isn’t just a pet; it’s family.

And Daisy Mae’s Pet Grooming is built on the values of trust and professionalism.

This is precisely what I offer for your beloved canine—trust in my experience to transform your scruffy companion into a well-groomed charmer. At Daisy Mae’s, a hop away from your doorstep, we’ve created a haven where pet grooming transcends the ordinary experience.

Unlike the elusive box, the transformation we provide isn’t shrouded in mystery; it’s clear within 45 minutes flat. Your dog will be the talking point of the park, donning the latest in canine chicness, all without the hassle of you lifting a finger—or a brush.

So, this is my pledge: trust Daisy Mae’s for a smooth, no surprises (or missing boxes) promise. An impeccably clean establishment, passionate staff, and a ‘done in 60 or it’s free’ guarantee.

When it comes to your pet’s appearance, we know it’s about more than a grooming service—it’s about peace of mind, a delight to return home to, and of course, happy tail wags by your side.

Best regards,

Daisy “will be looking for her neighbor’s missing box” Mae
