I had a summer job between my junior and senior year of high school as a dog washer in a pet grooming business. I love dogs, so it wasn't that bad.....until this one day. We always ordered out for lunch and this day it was Chinese, so I got my usual, shrimp fried rice. Right before lunch we got this huge old english sheep dog in to be groomed. Her name was "Fluffy". She was filthy...matted, mangy and looked miserable. As I was washing her, I noticed these little white wormy things in the water and called the groomer in to help me. It was the first time I had ever seen a maggot and she was crawling with them. After we got her cleaned up, it was lunch time and as soon as opened my container and saw the rice, it looked like it was wiggling and I puked everywhere. We actually had to shave Fluffy and when her owner picked her up she had a fit! That was my last day in the dog grooming biz.
