Poppy is a girl after my own heart... Get her to a massage or hairdresser and she'll talk and talk lol
Second visit for young Rico.
Beautiful finish from #smithandburton
See you soon young man.
What a beautiful way to spend the afternoon
It's a joy to work with puppies but an honor to be with seniors... Building a relationship that will last their lifetime is a precious gift...
Being there for their last groom or to hold mums hand as they fall asleep is a privilege.
Registration for Sip & Strip is open. Come along and have some fun with other pup parents. Feel free to call if you have any questions 02040840641
And then there is Tank....
Who thinks he's a Husky lol
He did so well and even let me do his nails... It takes all sorts
Little Poppy in for a play date and groom .. who can resist a cuddle and warm dryer 🥰
It's been a while but this wee darling has found her way back to me.

Arlo has outgrown Tama but they still love to play together 💜
Rejoice in the memories, write stories, make videos, upload and restore old photos, ask questions, many many questions...
Hold their journey in your heart and memory as if it was a most precious jewel...
Their life matters, they matter, they just can't remember...
Be patient with them, be kind and respectful, this will be the longest day, the longest goodbye... Embrace it
During June, to raise awareness, Chateau de Chiens - House of Dogs will colour purple ears or tail at no charge.
(White only) 💜
With a cat called Bat Man, of course the dog is Bruce Wayne and now there is puppy Alfred... Just perfect 💕
Nothing can prepare you for a de-shed on a Lab!!!
Choc comes in from Matauri Bay regularly, and each time we 1/3-1/2 fill a small bin bag with hair...
He loves being on the table, in the bath, being scrubbed and massaged and belly rubs lol
He's always nervous when Tama greets him with his puppy enthusiasm, but it doesn't take long for them to buddy up 💞
Now is a good time to get that undercoat out, so a new, healthy coat can come through.
Labs and Golden Retrievers have really oily skin, so it pays to keep them well brushed.
A dusty coat full of loose hair, not only gets smelly, but can breed bacteria and encourage mites.

Bean has an amazing coat, he's living and funny and little Tama helps him chill out...
How cute is Lucy .. waiting for mum.
Mimi is a delicate senior lady who benefits greatly from a nice warm spa and gentle cuddles...
This gorgeous little guy will be 1 next week.. I'm so blessed to have him in my life
All ready for the seasons activities 💞🙏
