Just a few pics from yesterday afternoon. My man Aherlow is generally pretty stingy with his kisses to the groomer, I get it, I shave his butt and blow dry him, but yesterday he was perhaps feeling the holiday spirit. Thanks for the love, little man🤩😍🐶❤️

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❤️

And my second groom on the day before Thanksgiving. This is Shaggy, a Tibetian Terrier. He gets excellent home care, just some good old fashioned daily brushing. His coat is very easily maintained, it’s got wave, not tight curls. So mom and dad have their work cut out for them, it’s no doodle coat. Just a way different groom than my first dog of the day. Not worse or better, just very different. Thank you, Shaggy. The afternoon was a touch easier than my morning. Both dogs are great, hands down, just totally different coats. Such is life for a dog groomer 🤷🏼‍♂️🐶🥰❤️

One of my grooms from the day before Thanksgiving. But a solid teach-able moment. This is Lulu, an Irish doodle, and she is about a year and a half old. I’ve seen her a few times, and every time it gets a little better and easier. The first time I saw her, she was so matted that I needed to shave her right down. And so matted that her coat came off like a pelt. One solid piece. It’s on the table, in the plastic container. I saved it, for just such a moment. The last pic is of the small trash that I keep dog hair in while I groom. From the first groom, where she needed a full shave down, to this third groom, with some simple instructions on home grooming care and closer intervals with full grooms to a simple small can of coat is a huge win. A few small belly mats and a one behind each ear is a total 180 change for the better. Easier on Lulu, easier on me, and better for Lulu. It’s as ways better to go home with her coat on her than in the trash can. Moral of the story, brush, comb, brush some more. Listen to your groomer. We don’t give advice to rip anyone off, it’s to give the best care to the pets…period. High maintenance coats need lots of care. Just let us help you. You’ll be fine, I promise 🐶🥹❤️🥰

Good afternoon dirty dogs. I wish I could explain why meeting new dogs and sometimes new clients altogether give me butterflies, even some anxiety. Dogs I understand, for the most part. How people treat them or raise them, I question often. In every aspect in life, I fairly often not right on the money. I follow my gut, not intellect. Not always the best way, But it’s my way. So I’ve been grooming for this client for quite some time now, this family has a very sweet and gentle doodle, he is great all around, maybe a little emotional sensitive, I can relate. So they foster failed this also sweet doodle recently and came in for a groom/see how she does with all this grooming stuff. Never have hopes that it’s gonna go perfectly, we have no history to base anything on. I hear “ my dogs great about grooming” quite often. Enough for it to raise a yellow flag, not a red one, but eyes wide open, pay attention to body energy and non verbal cues. Almost all dogs are great at home with their family in a loving caring environment, where they get food, love, shelter, play. All the good stuff.

Today was a great day and in hind side was the kinda day to turn off the anxiety button and just be a dog lover. I needed no stern demeanor, no I’m in charge kinda energy. This sweet girl seemed to be my friend from the get go. Only a touch of don’t touch my front left paw please, followed by a But you need your nails done…Ok, here you go. Wait…what? There’s always a your not doing that…yes I am. No yes no yes. And we aren’t quite sure of the breed of this pup, I see a few different ones in there, including a few terriers. Often with some s***k and attitude. Not always, but often. So there was some moderate matting in the usual spots, nothing major, but stuff that needed attention that does involve some mild tugging. There is no magic wand for grooming. No reaction other than to sit down. I’ll take it…..all day long, everyday. I’m so glad I met this dog today. If I had 100 dogs like this, I’d have the easiest and best job ever. Don’t get me wrong, I have some amazing other clients, you know who you are. There’s a lot of you, for so many different but appreciated reasons. Thank you Pebbles, you started my grooming day out just right, I couldn’t ask for a better grooming session❤️🐶❤️😍
