I will be calling everyone on Thursday morning and reschedule your pup's appointments. I am so sorry. ❤️🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🐶

I wanted to communicate some thoughts I have with you. I would love to hear your feedback. This has been a very scary and crazy journey. My thinking is that groomers are essential. Dogs can become matted. With heavy matting comes hot spots, skin infections and irritation. Nails that become too long can grow into the pads of the paws or cause splaying of the paw. The nails can become caught in carpeting or such and cause nail injury. Ears, some breeds need the hair plucked out of the ear canal. This provides air flow and keeps the"gunk" from plugging up the ear canal. Groomers can also inform you if they notice any foul smell, redness or inflammation of the ears. There are dogs who require a special shampoo to relieve and help skin problems. I can only imagine trying to bathe your pups in the sink or tub. Especially if they are matted, hairy or big dogs. When bathing your dog at home, it is very important to make sure All of the soap is thoroughly rinsed. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. If you think differently, I still want to hear why. I realize that everyone is trying to do their absolute best in keeping their furry family members clean and brushed. It's not easy sometimes. I completely understand. If you do think we're essential, please tell governor Pritzker, write to your congressman and women, the Illinois grooming association. I'm sure that we can do this safely and everyone will be much better. I wished I could get my own hair cut! So...I cut it myself, lol. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. From all of us at Woof Wash, we miss you all! Stay well ❤️

We give thanks to all veterans, human and canine! ❤

Judy, a purebred pointer, was the mascot of several ships in the Pacific, and was captured by the Japanese in 1942 and taken to a prison camp. There she met Aircraftsman Frank Williams, who shared his small portion of rice with her.

Judy raised morale in the POW camp, and also barked when poisonous snakes, crocodiles or even tigers approached the prisoners. When the prisoners were shipped back to Singapore, she was smuggled out in a rice sack, never whimpering or betraying her presence to the guards.

The next day, that ship was torpedoed. Williams pushed Judy out of a porthole in an attempt to save her life, even though there was a 15-foot drop to the sea. He made his own escape from the ship, but was then recaptured and sent to a new POW camp.

He didn't know if Judy had survived, but soon he began hearing stories about a dog helping drowning men reach pieces of debris after the shipwreck. And when Williams arrived at the new camp, he said: "I couldn’t believe my eyes! As I walked through the gate, a scraggly dog hit me square between the shoulders and knocked me over. I’d never been so glad to see the old girl!"

They spent a year together at that camp in Sumatra. "Judy saved my life in so many ways," said Williams. "But the greatest of all was giving me a reason to live. All I had to do was look into those weary, bloodshot eyes and ask myself: 'What would happen to her if I died?' I had to keep going."

Once hostilities ceased, Judy was then smuggled aboard a troopship heading back to Liverpool. In England, she was awarded the Dickin Medal (the "Victoria Cross" for animals) in May 1946. Her citation reads: "For magnificent courage and endurance in Japanese prison camps, which helped to maintain morale among her fellow prisoners, and also for saving many lives through her intelligence and watchfulness".

At the same time, Frank Williams was awarded the PDSA's White Cross of St. Giles for his devotion to Judy. Frank and Judy spent a year after the war visiting the relatives of English POWs who had not survived, and Frank said that Judy "always provided a comforting presence to the families."

When Judy finally died at the age of 13, Frank spent two months building a granite and marble memorial in her memory, which included a plaque describing her life story.
