I'm pleased to report, miss Lumi is a certified service dog now. She passed her public access testing with flying colours, as I knew she would.

It's naked dog day here at Polaris Grooming. My 2 morons got their "it's a not summer" clip.

Due to owning many pets and having sensitivity issues of my own, I've been making my own cleaners for years. Decades actually. I honestly can't remember the last time I bought a cleaning product.

Due to personal allergies, I run 3 air purifiers PLUS have a merve filter in my furnace. And I have a wealth of plants in the home as well.

When we know better, we can do better.

How's the air in your home?

It's happening. Let's hope this goes according to plans. Now it's up to Lumi to come into heat so we can get the ball rolling.

If you know of anyone interested in the possibility of future standard poodle pups likely worthy of service work, or just amazing poodles in general with fabulous temperaments, please share.

Parents are health tested and have clean titles.

Coming soon...... If all goes according to plan. Taking reservations. For now, all all deposits are refundable, once pregnancy is confirmed and viable, deposits will be non refundable.

Oh my goodness, I'm getting excited. The Countdown is on. We are just waiting for Lumi to go into heat next, and we will get the party started. If all goes well, pups should be on the ground in april.

Both dogs were chosen for service work. Both dogs are service dogs in training. Both dogs will hopefully have their public access testing done this year. This will likely be the only litter from either as they have jobs to focus on. Sirius is going for more titles, I may or may not title Lumi in a few CKC events..... To be determined, as I do have a lot on my plate.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Happy new year! Welcome to 2024. As I mentioned there would be changes happening to Polaris Grooming and Training. I wish I could say this would be good news and good changes, but it's not.

My husband was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in November. It's been a long road leading up to this diagnosis with a lot of issues developing over the course of the past year. We don't have a blueprint to follow with this diagnosis, so we don't know how quickly or slowly this will advance or how severe his symptoms will become. So what does this mean for my business?

It means my business will slowly take a back seat as I'm needed more at home. I've been downsizing grooming anyhow as it's too physically demanding on my tiny body. I'll be keeping my existing clients. You guys don't need to worry about finding a new groomer. As for new clients, it'll be very limited if I take on new clients. As for training, yes I'll still take on some training clients here and there as I can.

This won't be a fast transition, it'll be based on how quickly my husbands symptoms progress. Please still book your regular appointments, still follow your schedule, just know that if it's a bad day I may need to reschedule you. Grooming helps me to keep myself engaged and helps to keep me sane.

This clearly isn't the news we wanted to hear, this isn't the path we would have chosen, but we are here none the less.
