As drought conditions worsen across much of the state, the Forest Service is discouraging any type of burning to prevent possible wildfires.

There are SO MANY dogs that come to my shop with ZERO name tags or at the very least their rabies tag (which is required by law!)

Just a warning that the area shelters are already FULL and have moved up euthanasia dates for dogs and cats which means you have LESS time to locate your dog before it is killed.

The following is also recommended by FEMA if you need to evacuate for a natural disaster, put your phone number on them!

Copied from a shelter page:

"4th of July Tragedy. Every year, the days leading up to and following the 4th of July, every shelter fills up with animals frightened by fireworks.
While I honestly wish fireworks were never used, that's something that will never happen.
Currently, every shelter is at maximum capacity and there's no room to house anymore animals. While some shelters claim to be "no kill", don't be fooled, EVERY shelter kills.
If you're one of those pet owners who (for whatever reason) refuses to put a collar and tags on your pet,
Please....beginning July 1st, put a phone number on your pet. You don't have to spend any money. Grab some tape and a sharpie or an ink pen and make the minimal effort to keep your pet from ending up at a shelter.
Even if you think there's no way they can or will escape your property, just do it.
If you love your pet(s) it's your job to protect them.
Finding a stray animal with a phone number makes it SO SIMPLE to reunite them with their owner very quickly.
Let's make a difference this holiday and keep animals from ending up at the shelter.

Please spay/neuter your pets.
We are drowning in homeless pets😔"

A dog's most hated day of the year! Be sure your dog is wearing their collar WITH ALL TAGS. Go now and check your fence is sturdy has no holes, the gate is latched. Keep your pets inside!

You should not be walking your dog in the heat of the day, nor should you leave the dog to wait in your car!! 🥵☠️ stay cool folks!

Please respect my time!

I understand that life happens sometimes, but I have had several people who are consistently late EVERY single time. It affects the entire day as I plot just enough time for each dog. Or they just "forget" to show up at all.

I have this down to a science learned from YEARS of experience. If you want the one on one get in/get out grooming experience, you must SHOW UP ON TIME. My shop is set up differently than others.

If you have time management issues, you can drop off at that grooming chain store where your dog stays the entire day. I have a waiting list of folks wanting to get in.

Your dogs don't need or even WANT to go see fireworks displays. LEAVE THEM HOME
