Hello Everyone

I hope you’ve had a great start to the week.

I don’t usually hop on to discuss hot topics in general or as Prancing Paws Ottawa, however in light of some recent events, I must speak up.

While we value freedom of speech, there is no cause to spread fear, thinly veiled bigot-based ideology disguised as “facts” or hate of any kind towards any individual(s), ethnicity, creed or culture. Period.

Prancing Paws Ottawa has been and will continue to be a safe and inclusive business designed to help, advocate and care for you and your floofs. We also strive to spread positivity amidst the increasing negativity in our world.

To sum up:
Prancing Paws Ottawa does not tolerate hate, aggressive or politically-fuelled subjects on our pages, in person or towards our patrons, etc.

This is not open for discussion nor will any private messages be answered.

Therefore, if you feel Prancing Paws Ottawa is no longer for you, I am kindly requesting you to see yourself out, no questions asked. It is the respectful thing to do.

Yours in kindness,
Paloma

Today our hearts are heavy as we learned of the passing of this sweet girl, Luna.

Surrounded by her loving family, Luna crossed the rainbow bridge where her big brothers, Cujo and Floyd waited for her.

Luna came all the way from Mexico to live her best life with her amazing family and fur siblings many years ago.

I had the privilege of taking care of Luna in the early days and just before the pandemic.

She would greet me nervously with her big brown eyes and little waggy tail and overtime and on her very gentle terms she showed affection in her Luna way.

Luna made sure you knew that she disapproved of the whole grooming experience by giving haughty little sniffs and side eye. Though it wasn’t her favourite thing to do, when she was done she would have a little zoomie, show off the biggest smile and then demand treats, which she would never eat but wanted to show no hard feelings at accepting.

Luna brought so much love and such great care to her mama, dad and fur siblings on some of the hardest days. To say Luna was selfless would be an understatement. Luna was all things pure and good, with an extra touch of spice when needed.

You did great, muchachita. Cujo, Floyd and Roxy and Lucy will take care of you as you fly amongst the stars ⭐️ ❤️

Que duermes con los angelitos, hijita. Tia Paloma te querie siempre y mucho.

Teamaremos para siempre
Nos gustarás para siempre
Mientras vivamos
Nuestra Luna serás

A Yorkie’s Lament

I’m not just a dog groomer. I’m also a therapist, a cuddle provider, an entertainer and a treat dispenser❤️❤️ Theo took full advantage of this today ❤️❤️

Cruella was SO over my antics before we even began. I cannot repeat what she said. Though meekly orated, there was some strong Sh*tZU profanity uttered. 😬🤣

Every floof has their own unique grooming routine . For Stevie it’s run into the kitchen and shakedown Auntie P for the "good treats" before her spa treatments. Who am I to break this time-honoured tradition? 🥹

OKAY Shelagh Gravelle come on down! You’ve won the grand prize for answering correctly! Dogs CAN get hotspots in the winter! What did she win Johnneh!? [Imaginary Johnneh]: Shelagh has won 10% off all grooming appointments for 2025! Congratulations Shelagh!!!! *********** True or False: Dogs can’t get hotspots in the winter. 7 correct guesses or until 2:15 PM

The return of Cruella. Cruella tells it like it is and is sure to remind me of my place. 🤣

Stevie knows how to accomplish the treat shake down like the boss lady she is

Cruella shared her feelings (as she should) with me today.

When bath time hits just right

One of the biggest rewards is seeing my floofs with big feelings making themselves at home ♥️ My Stevie-Girl, needs a little coaxing at drop off time but when she’s inside she takes over house and salon like the Boss Lady she is ♥️

Cruze definitely shared his thoughts about being bathed and dried. Dishonour on me, dishonour on my cow…
