It’s fun to reflect back on all the dogs I’ve done this year- I could cry🥹.

I’ll have completed a total of 995 dogs by the time the big ball drops (not including my own, so over 1000 grooms!!)

I’ve had the pleasure of expanding my expertise to 6 new breeds I’d never gotten to work on before!

I’ve had the delight of getting to learn how to groom a show poodle (my own!), and I’ll continue to grow my expertise in that endeavor into the next year and beyond.

And most importantly, I’ve had the opportunity to make as many dogs as possible comfortable, healthy, happy, and adorable. All while absolutely loving what I do. Here’s to 2025, and an amazing 2026 to come 🥂

My fellow groomers: what does your wrapped look like?

Earlier last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Peanut! Peanut is 8 mo old and this was his very first groom. Mom was super on top of things: she knew she should have brought him in sooner, she knew he was matted, she gave him some medication to help him relax, and she brought her own muzzle just in case. The level of understanding and preparedness at what we needed to do (shaving down) and the behavior he’d likely display (extremely fearful/potentially aggressive) had me impressed. A lot of owners don’t know these things yet in these circumstances.

While Peanut did need that muzzle at first, I’m so proud of how fast he melted into being much more comfortable with me. He didn’t need it the rest of his time with me. I’m proud of this little guy and his ability to trust me when his first impression of me was fear. I’m proud of his mama for realizing and doing everything to turn things around and be there for her pup.

Sometimes as dog groomers, I understand matting and can be frustrating. And it certainly can be. We care deeply for the dogs on our tables and it’s easy to get carried away with that. But friendly reminder that we’re all human and there’s a lot of active misinformation out there on doodles and their coat maintenance! And doodles differ SO much dog to dog. If an owner already has one doodle with an easier coat texture, and they get another, it’s easy to assume they need the same frequency of brushing when that may not be the case. We all have a starting point with learning and growing as dog owners, and the important thing is striving to educate and better ourselves.

Giving the benefit of the doubt and holding compassion and sympathy for your clients before you’re proven otherwise is very important to me. Sure, in this profession, we do see a lot of active neglect. Especially with poodle mixes, it seems. But not every owner standing behind a matted doodle is careless. Not every over standing behind their doodle will let them get matted again. Friendly reminder to my dog grooming friends and dog lovers alike to hold love and compassion in our hearts for our fellow dog lovers and reserve judgement until we know the whole story🫶🏻💞🫂

Let me tell you all, it warms my heart every time that I have a client come in and ask about how Penguin (one of my personal dogs for those of you who don’t know her, she’s the one on the right) is doing. I’ve had around nine clients ask about her in the last few days and how I’m doing with her health and everything.

I am so incredibly lucky and grateful to have such a compassionate clientele. Fellow dog lovers are the absolute best. 💞

Penguin is getting pretty close to hitting two years post Hermangiosarcoma diagnosis (anniversary in May) which is an amazing milestone that I never would’ve dreamed we would hit. The mortality rate for that cancer at two years is pretty much 100% and she is beating all odds with having gone into remission at all, let alone going into such a full long-term remission thus far.

I’m so incredibly proud of her and thankful that I had funds set aside for a pet emergency. I’d started putting away savings for my future dog whenever I was 16 and that made a big difference in being able to afford her cancer treatments, as did many donations that you all gifted when she was first diagnosed, and I’m eternally grateful to you all. Those who donated, and just those who ask after her from time and again.

She’s the dog I taught myself to groom on, and the reason I ended up becoming the groomer I am today. Here’s to hopefully many more years with my little Penguin. 🐧

I don’t think I could ever thrive in a job where I feel stagnant. Luckily with dog grooming, there’s ALWAYS ways to learn and improve and expand my craft and my skill! Having and showing Saoirse (my own standard poodle) has really helped develop my eye for conformation and balance, which helps even my pet grooming of all breeds and mixes! It’s fun to see improvement on my own clients looking back on those I’ve been grooming multiple years like miss Rosie here (WILD that its already been 3 years with Rosie and her sisters😍😱)
