One of my longstanding regulars sadly lost their older dog a few months ago, leaving their younger one (and themselves) bereft.
The antidote? A new baby sister!

We all know new pups are never “replacements” but they can help to fill holes in their family’s broken hearts.

And little Maisie is a joyful addition to the Dexter’s family too. After a superstar performance at her first puppy intro yesterday, this tiny cutie fell fast asleep in the crook of my legs waiting for mum.
Smitten?? You bet! ❤️❤️🐾

Despite the best efforts of the weather, the flora and fauna of the Common are kicking into action. Snowdrops have been and gone, now bluebells are in full bloom. If you look closely there are even some harebells too. A cuckoo has been heard in the woods, alongside the more usual chiffchaffs, robins...

A busy couple of weeks so not much time for photos! But I couldn’t resist some quick snaps of my last two visitors yesterday. Handsome Harley because you all know I have a soft spot for a border terrier, and, well, Dexter needed a new photo of his girlfriend, Ravishing Ruby! 🎄❤️❤️🐾

So very sad to learn this gorgeous girl said her final farewells to her family last week.

Poppy has been coming to me since I first opened and has always been a joy to have visit. A sweet, gentle soul, I will miss her terribly and my heart goes out to her devastated family 💔

Did you know the RVC is looking for pet blood donors? Neither of my boys qualify but thought I’d share info for those pooches (or cats!) who might be able to donate …

The RVC's veterinary Transfusion Medicine Service is only possible because of our wonderful donor dogs and cats that care brought in throughout the year to donate blood for use in our hospital

These two gorgeous girls visited yesterday. Not together, but they are so alike - both sweet, gentle souls, calm and patient, always a pleasure to have them ❤️❤️🐾

Sadly, that was the last time I’ll groom Baylee as she is moving away from the area. Luckily I will get to see her before she goes though as she’s my neighbour! I’m really going to miss her and her lovely family 😞

Well, I think this was the best way to round off a fabulous week of dogs …

Little Ronnie popped in to meet me and see my Shed ahead of his first puppy groom in a few weeks.

Ronnie is new to me but his lovely family aren’t so I’m delighted to welcome them back after they sadly lost their two gorgeous dogs within the past year. Ronnie’s got some big boots to fill but I have to say he charmed me! 😍❤️❤️🐾

🐾 Help find missing dog Benny 🐾

Below is the content of an email I recently received from a desperate dog parent. I actually met her in Harpenden last year when she was handing out leaflets and shared on Facebook then. I’m very sad to learn Benny is still missing. Please keep sharing and looking out for him 🤞🐾

Dear Dexter's Grooming Shed

I hope you don’t mind me messaging but our beloved family dog, Benny, was stolen on the 17th Dec 2020 in Tring, Herts.

We have done every thing in our power to try to locate him, but so far there have been no sightings.

I have contacted vets, rescue centres and countless other places across the country continuously since he was stolen. And now I am trying to reach out to dog groomers, dog walkers and local pet carers again, just on the off chance you may spot him.

He is a male golden blonde/ginger Pomeranian and has a distinctive breathing issue when he is walking or excited (sounds like a loud GRUNTING pig!)

This is a medical condition he was being monitored for at a local hospital, if you recognise him could you please, please alert me or the police?

Sadly we are aware that he literally could be anywhere in the country by now, we are desperate to find him.

We are trying to cover as many area's as we possibly can.

If you could please be kind enough to keep an eye (and ear!) out for Benny we would be eternally grateful.

I have attached his stolen poster with his picture and other details.

If there is any way you could share this also, that would be so appreciated.

(his page is here - https://en-gb.facebook.com/groups/findstolenbennyhp23tring/ )

Thank you so much for your time,

Kind regards

Marilyn

Very sadly I haven’t got my wish for one more visit from this gorgeous boy 💔

As Toby crossed Rainbow Bridge yesterday he lay in his mum’s arms, surrounded by the people who loved him with all their heart ❤️

Toby first visited me in December 2018 and I have seen him every 6 weeks since then. Nervous at first, he soon trusted me enough that every visit he’d come running into the Shed, happy and tail-wagging, even on his last visit when he was so poorly. Such a gentle, joyful soul, I will miss him very much.

My heart is breaking for his devastated family - sending all my love ❤️

A rare gap in my diary allowed me to rescue a gorgeous new visitor from her straitjacket of mats today. What a relief!

And what a delight Mabel was - calm, patient and super friendly! And I think a little bit grateful too ❤️❤️🐾
