If you have a grooming appointment scheduled with me and you do not call to cancel it and fail to show up, then my dogs get bathed.

They tolerate their spaw days but they do not enjoy them. So if you miss your appointment without canceling, don't be too alarmed when my dogs put a curse on you.

Being matted is stressful enough. We won't stress your pet out any further with painful dematting. No judgment just a clean slate!

While I don't do it myself, I admire and respect creative grooming. It always astounds me when people cry abuse upon seeing a beautifully groomed dog who's been put in a creative groom with carving and colour. I can show you abuse and neglect. Trust.

I got pantsed by a doodle once when I was grooming at a vet clinic. The vet walked in as I was pulling my pants back up and slowly backed out with his hands in the air, muttering "I don't wanna know".

As of December 26th, we are entering a Provincial wide lockdown. Country Dog House will be closed until we are given the go-ahead to reopen. Stay safe and kiss your pets.

WHEN I AM OLD.

When I am old...
I will wear soft gray sweatshirts...
and a bandana over my silver hair...
and I will spend my pension cheques on my dogs.
I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair
and listen to my dogs' breathing.
I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night
and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow...
When people come to call, I will smile and nod
as I show them my dogs...
and talk of them and about them...
...the ones so beloved of the past
and the ones so beloved of today...
I will still work hard cleaning after them,
mopping and feeding them and whispering their names
in a soft loving way.
I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat,
like a jewel, and I will be an embarrassment to all...
especially my family...
who have not yet found the peace in being free
to have dogs as your best friends...
These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall...
and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep,
to greet you as if you are a God,
with warm eyes full of adoring love and hope
that you will always stay,
I'll hug their big strong necks...
I'll kiss their dear sweet heads...
and whisper in their very special company....
I look in the mirror... and see I am getting old....
this is the kind of person I am...
and have always been.
Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me.
Please accept me for who I am.
My dogs appreciate my presence in their lives...
they love my presence in their lives...
When I am old this will be important to me...
you will understand when you are old,
if you have dogs to love too.
