🤣 When y'all hear me talking and singing to your babies this is what I'm doing 💖

To me there's nothing cuter than a clean baby wrapped in a towel 💕

Here's a few over the last few months!!

I might have an obsession 😂

MAS-A-38576 ❄️ SNOW ❄️ THE STANDARD POODLE 🐩 AT MEMPHIS ANIMAL SERVICES

I'M AT A LOSS OF WORDS! 😭 JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN IT ALL.

WEIGHING IN AT OVER 3 POUNDS, 5 INCHES THICK, 8 FOOT LONG.

I SHAVED HIM WITH A 30 SURGICAL LEVEL BLADE ALL OVER.

I INTRODUCE TO Y'ALL THE WORST CASE OF MATTING I'VE EVER SEEN.

HE IS COMPLETELY BRUISED FROM THE MATTING BEING SO TIGHT.

*NOW, HE WAS BROUGHT TO THE SHELTER AS A STRAY RUNNING AT LARGE. I'M GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THIS BABY IS OWNED BY SOMEONE. BESIDES HE'S NOT EMACIATED, HE HAD URINE STAINING,DRIED F***S BETWEEN HIS TOES AND NOT STICKS,DIRT LIKE YOU WOULD SEE WITH BEING A STRAY.

GROOMING NEGLECT IS NEGLECT!

*Groom was done in July. I don't have any update on what happened to this baby.

👑 PRINCESS 👑

This beautiful giant schnauzer belongs to a wonderful rescue. She was heartworm positive when she came into the rescue.

I picked her up at the vet after her heartworm test and it was NEGATIVE !!! 🎉

I typically don't get full blooded babies on my table but when I do it allows me to practice my breed standard grooming.

Her body isn't breed standard but her face sure is beautiful! My skills are a work in progress 💪 but I'm pretty proud of this one. I really enjoyed this sweet girl!

Happy Tails Princess!!!

Effective immediately

After you reschedule /cancel 2 (two) grooming appointments in order to schedule another appointment you will need to prepay for your appointment in full!

I really don't want to be like this unfortunately I do have a business to run and I could put other people in your slot.

*Doesn't apply to Nail trims

Thanks 💕

HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!

I'm so very grateful to have such loyal, understanding , loving clients/pet parents.

Y'all are my family really!

Thank you for allowing me into your home to pamper your baby over the last year!

Thank you to those that have fed me when it was lunchtime, offered me a drink, got me a Walmart bag , kept me stocked with Walmart bags, gifted me with homegrown vegetables from your very own family garden, bartered goods with me, allowed me to reschedule when I didn't feel well or when life happened, placed a fan on me when you see me dripping 💦🥵 with sweat (thanks graves disease 😭), asked me how I'm doing and how my children, mother, husband and mother in law is doing and told me to take a break. And shared their day and time with me.

I have learned a lot this year. I've experienced some hiccups along the way and growing pains.

The drive time and set up is about down to a art/science now. I hope to start being on time more. The ones that know me, know that I'll be late to my own funeral 😂 and then you add working with live animals.

I have donated / helped so many strays,rescues and shelters along the way. 47 babies to be exact . I hope to continue to do so in the coming year!!

Here's to year two in business 💕 🐶

August is completely booked! Overbooked actually. I do this to myself 😭

September is booked.

I'm not over booking myself anymore.

Booking October, November and December now.

I'm running 5-7 weeks out for appointments. It's vital your baby be on a schedule.

As needed will go on a cancellation/reschedule list. I have 13 clients on that list already.

November and December are almost full. Please don't wait for the holidays to get here before you reach out for appointments.

While it’s great to be busy I don’t want any of my babies missing out.

If you don’t normally book in advance, I’d highly recommend it to avoid any disappointment!

Sometimes it takes me several days to schedule appointments due to me working so late. If I get home at 9pm I don't text clients that late.

I'm trying to find the balance of work and family. I will not be working(grooming)every weekend anymore. I will be working on my schedule/financial records

If you reach out for an appointment during the week I will pin your text and schedule your appointment on Saturday/Sunday's.

I wish I knew what led up to these babies being on my grooming table at the shelter 😭

This baby was found running in the middle of nowhere in Coahoma county 😞

I bet she had 5 pounds of mud on her feet and over a dozen ticks.

She is such a beautiful,well mannered girl.

I'd sure take her home 🏠 if I knew it wouldn't end in divorce

Then again it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 😂

Please follow Tunica HumaneSociety for information on fostering or adopting her!

She definitely won't be available for long!

Yesterday I received a call from the Southaven animal shelter about a baby in desperate need of a groom!

This baby was dipped in motor oil 🙄 then found dumped in the trailer park.

She had one of the worst flea infestations I've seen in a long time 😭

I got her all cleaned up and transported to her foster for Tails of Hope Dog Rescue.

Her name is now Haisley, welcome to the good life sweetie. You'll never be neglected again 😉💖
