Your pets WILL get groomed but it may be a couple of weeks as I need to work everyone back into a packed schedule. It is hair, it will be ok, I promise! These photos prove it 😊We all need to be patient.
I am praying for Canton and it’s people!

It’s that time again.
I need to remind people that the fastest way to get a response is to text me at 605-987-7274.
I have a lot going on between the business and the farm and I will admit there are times I drop the ball and don’t get everybody contacted in a reply.
If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours, please text me again.
Calling me repeatedly when I am trying to work, does not do any good. I cannot stop what I am doing, take the current client off the table, put them in a kennel and answer the phone.
The best way for me to keep track is via text.
I would also like to touch on the subject of picking up your pet.
If I give you a pick up time, please do not come early. This completely distracts your pet, because they hear you or smell you or whatever type of ESP they have, they know you are there lol it is very hard to finish them. I would much rather you were 10 minutes late picking them up than coming early. That being said, please pick them up within 30 minutes of pick up time because I do not have the kennel space for more than two small dogs or two large dogs.
As always, have a great day, my friends!
Becky
Remembering Jack (Jackie) tonight, he was everything we want our dogs to be.
Most of all, he was a gentle giant that I truly loved. He will be greatly missed.
Thinking of his family tonight.
RIP baby
Winston!
He popped up on my memories.
Winston would flat out run to me with such joy and enthusiasm the minute he came in the door. Because of travel time and working around my schedule and his owners, he is being groomed elsewhere and I completely understand that.
But.. I do miss him.
I do have others that come in the exact same way, Deacon and Jack come to mind.
All of your dogs hold a place in my heart. As a groomer I am not able to distance myself emotionally from your pets because long before I became a groomer I was first and foremost a dog lover. It’s in my DNA. I was born this way.
I cry when you lose your beloved babies because I love them as well.
Just know that for me, your pet is not just $$ to me, they are my joy. Animals are what makes me, me.
Just a Saturday morning musing.
Have a safe and relaxing weekend!

I’m back and doing well, thanks for your concern 😊
Listen folks and please share if you can.
I have been sick for several days with some kind of lung infection. I do not have Covid, I was tested.
I am getting better and hoping to be back tomorrow. I am not ignoring you. I am just trying to get better. Hopefully I will get everybody called or messaged back that have tried to contact me in the last few days.
Please, if you do not hear from me by Wednesday contact me again.
Thank you for your understanding !

Battling Fleas:
The fleas you see only account for 1-3% of the fleas in your home.
Each adult female flea lays 40 eggs a day. It’s quite likely the first flea entered your home more than a month ago. Then, every subsequent female flea that hatched and fed, also laid 40 eggs a day until your dog was itchy enough for you to notice them.
There are now thousands of flea eggs, larvae, and pupae in your home. The eggs will be found scattered wherever the pets spend time, as well as hitching rides on people traveling from room to room. The larvae move away from light, and then pupate into an impenetrable shell, and sprays/bombs won’t kill them. Read this paragraph again, it will be important later.
The baby fleas hatch out when triggered by heat, vibration or flashes of light - all things that happen when a warm tasty mammal is nearby. They can lie in wait for up to a year before hatching.
Bathing with Dawn very effectively kills the fleas on your pet, but it’s efficacy ends the minute you rinse it off.
As soon as your pet walks away, it’s heat and movement trigger a new baby flea to hatch, jump on your pet, and feed. It continues to lay 40 eggs a day until the next bath.
This becomes a work intensive and very frustrating cycle.
Otc flea collars are useless!!! The Seresto collar is the only good flea collar burst can't be used in kittens.
Many topical treatments are the same. They become more effective when combined with an Insect growth regulator- Pyripoxyfen is a common one, and is found in topicals like frontline plus.
The Fipronil in Frontline kills the adults, and the insect growth regulator Pyripoxyfen prevents the eggs and larvae from developing into adult fleas, effectively breaking the life cycle.
Now, you still have the pupae that are already developed to account for, and it takes THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS of treatment, at minimum, to break the flea life cycle because of these pupae which will continue to hatch and hop on your cats until the medication kills all of them.
The newer products, such as Advantage are even more effective. They kill the fleas faster, preventing them from laying eggs at all. It can still take several weeks or months for your pets to trigger all the pupae to hatch.
Regardless of which product you use, you will still need to use it for a MINIMUM of 3 months.
You’re probably grossed out now, and want to go buy every chemical ever made to coat your house, but this isn’t an effective strategy.
Remember those pupae are impervious to chemicals. So bombs and insecticides will kill flea eggs and larvae, but not the pupae.
The most effective secondary treatment is vacuuming. Vacuuming is work, so we want to make sure that effort is put to good use.
Now going back to the flea life cycle. Eggs will be anywhere your dog goes. Everywhere he walks, plays or sleeps. If you have bedding that can go through the wash, go ahead and wash it.
Think of every place your pets go, and vacuum thoroughly. Hallways, couches, bedding, under and behind furniture. Don’t miss anything.
Then we go after the larvae/pupae. The larvae don’t like light, so they will be under and behind furniture, under couch cushions, along floorboards, and other places you might not hit with normal vacuuming.
Thorough vacuuming with the life cycle in mind is extremely effective, and can reduce the flea population in your home by 80%.
Capstar works very rapidly but is only effective for a few hours. It has no residual.

Layla, cockapoo puppy. 12 weeks old ❤️
I’m absolutely thrilled to be done brushing the dogs. Now I have a whole week to do other things … like trim their nails.
With summer fast approaching heat stress in dogs is common.
Know the signs and symptoms of overheating in dogs.
Dogs overheating will possibly display some or all of the following;
hyperventilation, excessive panting, dry gums that become pale, increased salivation, erratic or rapid pulse, confusion, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, and possibly re**al bleeding.
In the case of overheating time IS critical..
Reduce your pooch’s temperature by putting cool wet towels over his neck, under his armpits, and between his hind legs. Wetting his ear flaps and paw pads using cool water is also advisable.Do not offer ice to your dog experiencing heatstroke.
If eaten, ice can cool his core body temperature too quickly, shocking his system.
A trip to the vet is very important. Call ahead so he or she can be alerted to prepare for your dog’s treatment. Your pet may have to receive oxygen, some fluids, and other treatments. With severe overheating, seizure and or cardiac arrest may occur.
Please feel free to share..
Update, reunited with owner!
Do you know me? Found by the water tower park. Text 605-987-7274 for finders number.
This years upgrade!
Only I was surprised with it from my wonderful husband, Don!
My family has always supported my grooming career, and it has been a long career.
My parents started me down this path at ten years old. Here I am at 58 and still loving it.
My husband and children have always stepped up and offered their help when I have needed it. If we are building a new shop or I have a bathing event or need equipment installed, they have always been there, no questions asked, just showing up.
So a huge thank you to Donald Johnson, Blake Johnson and Andi Johnson for always being there for me and Pretty Paws Pet Boutique!
Somebody has lost a very distinctive key at my shop. Messaged me with a description 😊
