Happy GrandParents Day (Weekend)!

What do you get when 2 wonderful families, that have been friends for many years, introduce their fur babies to each other thus creating a new kind of friendship? You guessed it! They become Overjoyed Grandparents!! That is exactly what has happened to 2 of Groomingdales Families!! Cheri Roling and her family have a beautiful little girl named Sophie! She is a Bichon/Maltese X and was born and raised in the Roling household! Gary Knief has an absolute character of a Teddy Bear named T-Bone! He is Gary's everything and lacks for nothing! So when Cheri and Gary had play dates with Sophie and T-Bone it wasn't long before Yogi Bear joined the family! He was born July 13th and will continue to live with his forever family at the Rolings, with of course, many visits from his Dad T-Bone and Grandpa Gary!
Grandparents Day is the Perfect time for Family photos! Enjoy Yogi Roling Knief's 1st family photos!
I hope every Grandparent has the opportunity to create memories of a lifetime this Grandparents Day!

They already have 2 precious Littles named Bell and Toby but why not add a few more! A true Labor of Love! Soooo Along came Buster and Lottie! These little dollies are 3/4 poodle with a splash of beagle, born 6-28-25.

LUCKY #7
It's been said Paw Pals are like potato chips, you can't have just one! That certainly is the case with in the Tom and Kari Voss household. With 6 furbabies already living life like royalty, they opened up their hearts and their home to yet one more baby to make Lucky #7!
Introducing TIKI! She is a purebred Biewer Terrier, born Aug 4th, 2024! So what is a Biewer Terrier you ask? A couple in Germany by the name of Biewer started with 1 pair of Yorkshire Terriers in 1985 where they created and perfected the now known "Biewer Terrier"! They were recognized by the AKC in 2021. Of course there is more information via the internet.
I believe Tom and Kari have definitely become Honorary Paw Pals for adding another LITTLE to their home and to the Groomingdales Family!!
Now let's take a peak at Lucky #7 ! Welcome Tiki!! 💞

Please be mindful of All Paw Pals during this Independence Day and keep them safe!

Fireworks might be fun for us, but for dogs, they can be loud, confusing, and downright scary. The sudden booms and flashes can trigger anxiety or cause dogs to panic and try to run. That’s why it’s important to create a safe, quiet space inside your home where your dog can feel secure. Close windows and curtains, turn on a fan or calming music to mask the noise, and stay close if your dog needs comfort.

Double-check that your dog’s collar is secure and their ID tags are up to date, just in case they get spooked and run. More pets go missing on July 4 than any other day of the year, so it’s important to keep doors, gates, and yards secure. If your dog is especially anxious, consider a snug-fitting calming shirt, or ask your vet about ways to ease their stress.

A little planning can help your furry friend stay calm, safe, and stress-free during the holiday. 🎆
