Here are several Taboo Places -- areas that Lee-Sah never liked! She always resisted having to visit these awful sites:

Chamber of Woe
(Town and Country Dog Grooming)
Chamber of Torture
(Animal Hospital of Cloverdale)
The Chamber of Woe is located in Ukiah, CA, in the unsavory section of town (according to Lee-Sah).

The woman who runs this place delights in:

  • throwing dogs in warm water,
  • lathering them with shampoo,
  • taking scissors to their hair, and
  • blowing them dry with a noisy machine

Lee-Sah's personal body servant often brought her to the Chamber of Woe every two weeks (which was two weeks too often). Note that her head and tail are both in the down position in the preceeding image.
This place is so awful that no pictures of it have been included yet.
This is to spare the tender sensibilities of Lhasa Apso lovers.

The Chamber of Torture is currently operated by Dr. Biery, DVM. According to Lee-Sah, this maniac loves to torture dogs by:

  • sticking them with needles,
  • forcing yucky-tasting things down their throats, and
  • inserting glass tubes up their -- no, I won't say it.

The Animal Hospital of Cloverdale is located in Cloverdale, CA -- this was always much too close to Lee-Sah's Lhasa Apso Temple for comfort.

It was also here that Dr. Biery assisted Lee-Sah in her achieving Lhasa Apso Nirvana.

 


The result of one such visit can be seen above. So much of Lee-Sah's precious hair was trimmed that the tummy is easily visible.
