Update to our previous post:
As it turns out I do not have Covid, but a bad case of bronchitis, which is still keeping me out of commission! 😫
Vic’s van will be out of service for at least 2 weeks & possibly as long as 8 weeks!
As such, Vic & I will have to service all our customers with one van & the same amount of time per week! This is going to be difficult for everyone, but we will do our best to get everyone taken care of. We ask for everyone’s patience. We will contact you to schedule/reschedule as we are able. Thanks! Darryl

Well - 2024 is not starting out too well! Vic’s van is out of service indefinitely! The transmission is out completely & we’re try to get it serviced! We don’t know how long this will take.
In addition, I now have Covid & will be out for a couple days. Not sure how long!
As such, our schedules will be in complete disarray. We will contact everyone affected directly.
And, as it always happens, I need to also say we are not accepting new clients at this time & we do not have a waiting list. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ugh! Once again, my van is having mechanical issues. And, as is the norm now, parts don’t arrive in a timely manner ! It appears right now, that my van will not be ready for about a week. Therefore, anyone on the schedule next week may have to be rescheduled. I will get in touch with you individually to let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience & understanding. Darryl ( This does not affect Vic’s clients!)

02/22/2023

Once again, we are booked up! We are not able to take on any more clients at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience & ask that you check back later.
We appreciate the overwhelming response from the other day & are sorry we can’t take on more clients!

Please note we have a FEW, LIMITED openings at this time. Preferably smaller dogs! Please CALL us at 706-340-2805 & leave a message with your name, number, general location, and type of dog(s) you have. Once we are full again, I will repost.
Please be patient for a response. Thank you!
Edited to clarify: This is for the Oconee/Athens area. Thx

Well, 2023 isn’t starting out so great……. My van is in the shop with plumbing problems. No idea when the issue will be fixed…..😩. So, I will contact each customer to reschedule. Sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll do my best to get everyone groomed as soon as possible. Darryl

Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2023!!!

We finally made a decision on where to make a donation on behalf of all our wonderful clients! Well - not an actual decision, since we found 3 worthy groups, so decided to give a little to each! Listed below are the 3 organizations we have donated $250 each. (Actually, ACR’s website is giving me fits, so they will receive their donation!)
We want to thank each & everyone of our clients for a great year! Here’s to an awesome 2023!

Friends of Oconee County Animal Shelter- friendsofocasga.org

Athens Area Humane Society - athenshumanesociety.org

Athens Canine Rescue - athenscaninerescue.com

Please check out their websites & consider a donation!!

Ho Ho Ho to all our Whisker Wagon clients & friends! We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Thank you all for such a great year! We couldn’t have done it without you! Enjoy your holiday with family, friends, and especially your pets!!
We will be closed until Mon Jan 2, 2023 to rest & relax (except for those couple of make up appointments I have!)
We’ll see you in the New Year!

Just want to let everyone know, that due to a personal family issue, I will probably be out of work this week. Not sure yet, but I will contact anyone on my schedule to let you know for sure. Vic is still up & running, but his schedule is full.
I apologize for the cancellations, but will do my best to get everyone rescheduled. It may be difficult to get everyone in before Christmas though! Thanks - Darryl

So we’re into the Christmas grooming season! We’re looking forward to making everyone ready for Santa Paws!!
Each year, we usually hand out a goodie bag with a toy & treats. Unfortunately, this year, our toys & cards are on back order! 😫. Mostly my fault for ordering late.
So, we have decided that in lieu of the goodie bag, we will make a donation to a local animal group ( yet to be determined), in honor of all our clients! This way, too, we can help those pets needing assistance or a good home- like the ones you provide your pets! Have a wonderful holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Whisker Wagon! We hope you & your family enjoy your time together!
We are so thankful to all our wonderful clients! We’ll see you next week after we rest up for the Christmas rush!!!

Had to share this again!!! 😂. So true!!

08/19/2022

Ms Bentley was delayed in getting her Spa Day! So she was a little messy! But we got her from Fuzz to Fab in no time!! She was a sweet girl, too! Well, mostly.

FYI - whenever I post, I have to put up a reminder that, unfortunately, we are still not taking on new clients. Thanks!

Chip & Nugget turned 2 today!! Happy Birthday boys! They shared some doggie ice cream with their big sister, Dixie!!🎂🎁🎉

Oh, Chester! You just love the Georgia red clay! It feels so good! And then it rains! And then you dry! And then it rains…..etc, etc, etc! You turned my bathtub orange!!! And you was stinky!! 😂
But we got that taken care of after 2 baths using 5 different shampoos!!! You’re supposed to be a light brown! Not an orange!! Stay clean! At least for 20 minutes!! 😂

06/30/2022

It’s 2022! 🤬. One of our vans is down until probably Wed July 6! This is affecting my clients & not Vic’s. I will reschedule everyone as much as possible. May have to work over the holiday to keep up (using the 2nd van). I will be in touch with everyone affected. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please be patient & we will get to you! Darryl
Btw - we are still unable to accept new clients! Sorry!

How to shave a dog in the summer? DON'T! There are much better ways to keep your dog cool -- without messing with his coat.

Hey everyone. Jayne needs help to re-home our dad's 12yr old neutered cat, Sammy. He has been at my cousin's, but not doing well. He needs a quiet house as he is very timid. He's been indoor/outdoor his entire life. Maybe even a barn would be good for him! When I locate him (he is hiding, as usual) I will put up a pic. He's a white/orange bobtail. Any assistance would be appreciated. There is no room in the shelters, which I would rather not do anyway. Thanks ( Bishop GA )
(Edited to add pics!)

Sometimes we can’t help ourselves! Nugget decided to find something sticky & stinky to roll in - AGAIN! Cause after a day of bathing dogs, this is what I want to do in the evening!
NUG-GET!
