When I warn about the weather, I'm rarely wrong. We watch storm cells closely on the BOM and TWITTER apps, but I was so busy getting all the dogs in, I missed the warning signs. The air was sticky, and the humidity was 110%, I swear. I should have known then buy I was desperate to catch up on a week off with covid as well. I had bumped dogs more than I like to ever have this time of year. When I'm focused on being busy, I am heads down clipper and scissors up. I had the curtains closed and failed to see the sky blacken. I had my headphones on listening to a book on audible and was so engrossed I didn't hear the warning rumbles (Predator series for those interested). I had just about finished the dog on my table, and I heard a very loud rumble. Interesting. I peeped outside and saw an ominous cloud formation over head. Oh boy. How long? Surely, I will be packed down before that hits. Hurry. Nope. I heard another rumble and then the rain started. I grabbed the dog and got her inside before the rain got torrential. The hail started as i dragged in the hose and power cord. Then the wind came as did the lack of light. Water was coming in sideways and through the roof. I was trapped inside, but that was better than being on the road. The water was flooding the gutters. The trees dropping branches and debris as wind sheeted rain like walls of water. The trailer shook and vibrated as the lightning and thunder and wind clapped around me, hail beating the roof and walls. Then CRACK!!! The sky and trailer went pink and then flashed white. I screamed. My head rattled, and I felt odd. A huge thump to the head with that one as it was so loud, so close. What got hit? A house? Nope, a tree was hit by lightning only 50mtrs away. Yep. That was close and really frightened me. I won't be trying to out run or push boundaries on safety with inclement weather ever again. Today was a close one.
He loves it as much as he hates it but he is a lovely old fella Bear π»

Preping our senior clients with anxiety means table cuddles until cortisol levels reduce as we trim nails, pads, and other areas easily maintained before the bath process. MACK gets quite anxious before his bath, but once he is on the table, his levels reduce quickly as he relaxes, and he just allows the pampering. He literally loves his spa day so much that he sleeps through it all.
CHARLIE the Beaglier is back and loving her Hydrobath in our new big blue trailer with Anthony.

3 legs won't stop this gorgeous girl. Meet Kelsey the Kelpie. She was so good for her bath and blow dry today. Totally pampered by Anthony.
Archie has been with us since day 1. Over time his legs have failed to do their job and we have adapted his grooms to his capabilities each time. Suspension grooming and yoga wedges are a favourite. But he is simply to fragile for the large bathing tub and one slip or slide could be too dangerous for his fragile bones. So today we graduated from big tub baths to small tub bubble baths. A non-slip mat in the base to keep him from toppling over, and he was in his element. We shall always adapt our services to your pets needs. We π you Archie.
Shake your pom poms Billy π©
How fabulous is that tail!!
I decided to colour my little long hair chihuahua's tail blue.
I think Yeti likes it π
Molting is when a rabbit looses its coat (shedding) and grows a new coat, This is also known as βblowing their coatβ. A molt can last from 2 to 6 weeks, or more, it varies from rabbit to rabbit and from breed to breed. We recommend seasonal grooming to keep a bunny calm and at ease with the bathing and deshedding by hand process but Spring and Autumn can be substantial. #rabbitmolting #blowingtheircoat #groomersofinstagram #plushpawsponderings
Charlie climbs into the trailer and tub on her own but won't get out. She loves her spa days way too much. We shall not discuss the dislike of the dryer, it's a sensitive subject π
