This sweet boy Milo is just everything lovely about 🐶 he has the gentlest presence and is just the nicest boy to work with 😊 we did a groom, nail clip and did what we could with his few remaining teeth, being careful around cavities as these can obviously be sensitive 🦷

Ted did amazingly well in his first session, bath 🛁 dry, brush and he let me scissor his face and ears and tail as you can seen these before and after pictures. This is huge for Ted as groomers haven’t got past a wash and dry with him, which has meant that his last groom had to be done under full sedation at the vets. Ted is very anxious about his legs and feet, so my lab is to introduce the rest of the groom in stages at his pace in small regular sessions. See you soon Ted and well done 👏🏻

The picture where he is laying down was us practicing being calm before we even started the groom 💤

So let me introduce you properly to Dexter’s new little brother Lando 😍 at just 18 weeks he’s in for his very first puppy groom and he did amazingly well, nice and relaxed, a little bit of fun and a nice little intro to grooming, with nails clipped, hygiene areas, face and feet scissored after a warm 🛁 and dry and brush 🪮 just too cute 🥰🥰🥰

I think we need a bit of a catch up 🐶🐶🐶

I am sorry for my poor photography skills, I like to show you what we’ve done, but it’s usually last minute.com and your dogs are more interested in going home. I will try to get better at this 🤗

What a perfect Monday it’s been, in reverse order;

•our other gym dog Milo paid us a visit and he had a bit of a pamper, as good as gold 🛁

•regular reiki dog Sprocket had a lovely session of reiki and it’s always interesting 🫶🏻

•little dot Daisy had her nails clipped and lots of cuddles as we slowly slowly worked with her, as she finds it very worrying 🐶

Why Flea Treatment Matters:

🐕 This year has been the worst for fleas that I’ve ever seen in grooming, and it’s so easy for fleas to spread from one pet to another—whether from a simple walk in the park or playing with other pets.

🦊 Fleas can also be carried into your garden by wildlife, like foxes or squirrels.

🐾 Adult fleas can lie hidden for up to 5 months before hatching, so it’s crucial to stay on top of treatments even after the initial infestation clears up.

Let’s keep our pets happy, healthy, and flea-free together! 🌟

And who couldn’t do with a freebie! 🙌🏻

Last time I visited Coventry cathedral I was at high school, I’m sure it’s grown! The architecture is quite stunning and very powerful, the light is just beautiful and mum was really moved by the visit. There was a funeral happening whilst we were there and all I can say is I hope mine is like that, the music was something else and just made me want to know the person. If you haven’t visited the cathedral I highly recommend it and give yourself some time, there’s a lot to see 👀

Birthday lunch at at St Mary’s guildhall and the original cathedral ⛪️

Mum wanted to visit Coventry cathedral, so for her birthday we made a day of it, who new Coventry could be so fun! But before the cathedral we managed to arrive on a history festival and met some rather interesting historian actors who had some great banter about the war of the roses 🌹 and also visited Holy Trinity church with one of the oldest are rarest doom paintings amongst other rarities and honestly the atmosphere in the church was so calm and comforting ⛪️ well worth a visit.
