心涛：洋洋，你周末有什么安排？    洋洋：我计划周末带乐乐去美容院。    心涛：是你美容啊？还是乐乐美容啊？    洋洋：当然是乐乐了！    心涛：这年头听说过人美容，还真没听说过给宠物美容的。    洋洋：你out了！现在养宠物的人越来越多了。为了让自己的宠物更加健康美丽，很多人都开始给自己的宠物做美容。你没有看到满大街的宠物美容店吗？生意可红火了！    心涛：看来我真是落伍了。    洋洋：要不你陪我和乐乐去美容吧，也算开开眼界，见识见识。你可以在美容院隔着玻璃看着他们给乐乐打理毛发、清洁牙齿、修剪指甲。    心涛：啊？小狗还需要修剪指甲？    洋洋：当然需要了！我们家乐乐每两个月都得修剪一次指甲。    心涛：算了吧，你还是自己去吧。我实在欣赏不了这种做法。 XT: YY, what are your plans for the weekend?
