PSA - WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER UNITS & DOGS

It felt like the longest 2 hours of my life when this guy went missing while we were at the movies. He blasted right through the accordion part of the window unit and had himself a Homeward Bound trip of sorts - running from rescuers, swimming, rolling in dead raccoon, riding in a police cruiser . . .

When I moved in here my dad went around my back yard and secured every possible spot a small dog could eek out so that I could rest easy. I never imagined that inside my home, dogs were not secure. Looking for a solution now, but praising God for His mercy on this pup (& me!) that was entrusted to my care.

Also thankful that my sweet girl, Lydia Joy not only spearheaded the search for him, but then also drove this wreck of a being to pick up his smelly self.

What could be involved in grooming Boxers you ask?
- happy scratches
- lots of bouncing
- wet wi***es
- eyeball licks
- wiggle butts
- more bouncing
- drinking ALL the water, the shampoo water, the conditioner water, if it's spraying they're drinking it
- ridiculously cute faces

And the bonus is that you also get groomed 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣

He wanted to cuddle after his groom. That's A OK with me! Chewy is such a good Ole boy.

I've never posted this guy before. This is Rand. A lot of people don't want their doodle poodled, but Rand's people like him short and all one length.

To be honest, it bothered me at first. His hair is SO beautiful. But Rand is a nervous Nelly. He comes in shaking, takes a while to calm down and has experienced a dryer seizure before (panic attack brought on by the stress of the dryer).

Last time Rand came in he was hims usual ball of nerves. But he calmed down quickly. He jumped in the tub by himself. Then he jumped on the table by himself. He happily took treats. And then he was out the door in no time.

Because they keep him short it minimizes his bath time and especially his time with the dryer. It sets him up for total success.

Just a reminder, I am only a groomer, not a magician.

Remember when your mom would get upset if you used the good sewing scissors to cut paper or some nonsense? It would dull the scissors! She needed those scissors sharp to do their job slicing with ease through fabric.

There's a reason that fabric shears are expensive. There's a reason that dog grooming shears are expensive (hairdresser's shears are beyond expensive!).

When you use your kitchen or paper scissors to chop out a mat, this is the result. The hair is damaged and I can't even blend it in with good shears. To even it out I would need to shave the rest of the dog down to where this cut was made - shorter than what client wanted. So, your dog leaves my shop, with a chop job I didn't do, but a groom that has my name on it.

Please don't cut mats out. Please.don't.do.it.
Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk!

I was relieved to be home after vacation (Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day anyone?), and had no idea how much I needed to groom until I was done with Charlie. My heart was so full. Look at him all blown out! I contemplated asking if we could have a sleepover so I could use him as a pillow.

Repeated, regular exposure helps lessen anxiety. This is one of the reasons I work hard to keep my prices down. Most dogs do not need a full groom every 4-6 weeks, but you can alternate between a tidy up and a full groom, which is more cost effective anyways!

This is important. The amount of Doodles & Poodles that I've seen rescues bringing in, is astonishing and heartbreaking. Other than Pits, I've not seen a breed / type of dog pour in like this before. It's the exact reason that my business is named, How Doodle You Do Dog Grooming.

The amount of work that these dogs take, groomers are tired of it. Some places won't take them at all anymore and other places are very specific about the guidelines you have to follow if you want your dog groomed there.

I believe that adopting can be beneficial to overloaded shelters - but it can also lead to unintended consequences that come with not knowing the full history of a dog. Whether you adopt OR SHOP (as in choose a breeder), just do it responsibly. The key is not that one is better than the other! The key is the amount of research you do PRIOR to bringing a new family member home.
