I just wanted to remind everyone that I only accept cash or checks at the time of service. There is an online scam going around stating that prepayment is required through Venmo only, and it's not the groomers, salons or mobile groomers sending it. They are using the salon's name / mobile company's name / the groomer's name. Most of my existing clients know how inept I am with technology, which is why I only accept cash and checks, but newer clients might not have heard my story of deleting the desktop computer's hard drive... three... separate... times. At any rate, I wanted to let everyone know about this new scam so that you can protect yourselves.

FYI - yesterday I dropped my work phone and the screen broke. I just dropped it off to be fixed and it should be done by tomorrow afternoon. I do not have access to any texts, emails or calls until tomorrow. Thanks for your patience on this matter.

Just a reminder that appointments during the winter are weather permitting. If schools are closed in my area, your area and/or cities in between us, rescheduling may be the only answer. I always try to keep to the schedule, but I won't take unnecessary risks.

I just realized that I hadn't posted Ricky's first big boy haircut. He looks so grown up.

Luca's first visit and first big boy haircut... all in the new van. I accidentally forgot to take a before picture.

A new chapter in Akita My Heart with Emma and Lacy still as my co-pilots.. even if Emma's just on the van and in my heart.

Just checked in to the hotel in Indiana. Gee, I wonder what I'm doing in Indiana...? Check back tomorrow for an update and pictures, but if you know don't spoil the surprise, please.

I hope that everyone is okay after the storm yesterday. We are fine, however we don't have electricity, like most people I'm guessing. The way that the electrical poles, wires and trees fell, I'm not able to get my grooming van out of my street - the hanging wires are too low for my tall van. Right after the storm, no vehicles were able to enter or exit my street for several hours. Until this changes, unfortunately I'll have to reschedule all appointments for this week. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

Here he is, our newest grandson, Samuel Louis (not Larry, lol) born last night at 9:51pm, 7 lbs 8 oz and 19" long.

Grand baby #3 is on the way but is taking his good ol' sweet time. Meanwhile, we have Ava and Drew over here until Larry (not his real name!) arrives. Prayers for Kara, Steve and the baby are appreciated. 💙💙

It's official! I just put the deposit down on the new Akita My Heart grooming van. If all goes well, it'll be making its debut around the end of August/beginning of September.

07/13/2024

Just a heads up - grand baby #3 is due soon. With that in mind, I may have to reschedule at the last minute because we will be watching the first two grandkids when #3 arrives. This little boy isn't due for another few weeks, but he's trying his darnedest to come sooner rather than later. As always, thank you for your understanding.

Another happy client after getting a good bath, blow out, nail grinding and ears cleaned. Tilly was so happy... once her Spa Day was done.

Not all dogs get short haircuts... Henry, a Coton de Tulea, is sporting a drop coat and Watson, a Shiba/Pom/Pug mix, just needed a good bath, brush and blow out.

Kolbe's first haircut, before and after... he was so brave 💙

Here's an article from the AKC with information and tips for you and your pets for the upcoming eclipse on Monday. Since we are in the path for a total eclipse, it was suggested to me that I might want to post something. Although this article was written for the last total eclipse in 2017, the advice is still valid.

  The solar eclipse that will occur on August 21, 2017 is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you can’t miss — literally! While many of us wil
