Jenny - you’re such a good listener Winnie.
Winnie - wow. You have a lot of problems.
Jenny - it’s nice you can’t tell my secrets.
Winnie - perhaps a therapist would be a good idea?
Jenny - you’re one of my best friends.
Winnie - I’m telling your boss you sit and talk a lot.

Or how I imagine it would go. 😂😂😂😂

I asked Piper how she felt about working the week between Christmas and New Year’s and this is what she did. 🤷‍♀️😂😂

The last couple weeks, daycare girls attempted to take Christmas photos of all their daycare dogs. 😳🎄. It was a big job and for anyone who’s taken pics of dogs knows, it was not easy. There was drool, whining and panting and that was from the girls. 😂😂. We made prints of as many dogs as we could get and have them at the store. Here are some “outtakes” that make my heart happy. ❤️

Enjoy your dogs and families this holiday!

12/22/2023

Just a reminder that we will be closed on Monday 12/25 & Tue 12/26. We will reopen for normal business on Wednesday 12/27. We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas!

Our customers are truly the best! We appreciate all who have brought us goodies! Yesterday, Rocco’s Mama brought us these amazing chocolate ball things (there’s no pic since we devoured them within minutes 😂). Today, Louie’s Mama brought us cookies!!! Our stomachs thank you! 😘

OG Finn acting like he’s spying on me while I wrap his Christmas presents. 😂🎁

12/18/2023

We got spoiled again by Miss Rosie and her mom. Look at all the yummy treats! You don’t know how much we appreciate the special things like this that you all do to show your appreciation!. Thank You!

Finn had to take a seat to watch the dog show playing out in front of him. Lol Then he looked at me and I felt like he was asking me to grab him some popcorn. 🍿😂

Miss Rosie got her tail color updated for Christmas! She is all festive and ready for the holiday.

12/07/2023

The girls have been working on a Christmas display so they can take holiday pics of the pups. We needed a volunteer and thought Elle Woods here would love it. I think her face really tells us how she felt about the whole thing. 😂😂

The regulars will recognize this beefcake, but for everyone else, this is Calli’s dog, Chuck. He hangs out here while Mom is working. He plays in daycare and also sleeps in the front with his brother Posie. Yesterday, Chuck played hard in the yard, as you can see. 😂😂. So he had to get a bath and groom before he set a paw in Mom’s car. Didn’t Zoey and Lex do a great job on him??? 😍😍 He even got a little color added!!. What a glow up! ❤️

12/04/2023

Meet Albus! He is a soft coated Wheaton terrier puppy! This was his first groom. Albus had gotten into some burrs so his Mom had to shave some of his head. So when he came in for his groom today, Megan shaved the other side, giving him this rad Mohawk!!!!! 😍😍

Mondays are made so much better with puppies! ❤️

12/01/2023

Yesterday, Max the Magnificent came in for his regular grooming with Zoey. Max is a gentle giant who loves treats, hugs, kisses and women. He stands up on his back legs and hugs people he likes!!! (First time he did it to me, I fell on the ground. 😂😂). The picture quality isn’t awesome because I took them through a glass door, but you can still see the love between this dog and his groomer. He kept resting his head on her shoulders and staring deeply into her eyes. 😂. I just wanted others to see what I see everyday. These girls love these dogs and the dogs love them back. ❤️❤️

This was yesterday. I repeatedly tried to get Bella and Destiny to come outside with me. They would stare at me from the doorway like this, then go back inside and lay down. Lol.

I feel the same way they do about the snow and cold. ❄️😂

11/28/2023

“Excuse me Miss but is there something on my face”? 😂❄️

11/27/2023

Cash and Tucker have each other’s backs. 😂😂

I was making fun of one for the way he sits on the tire and the other one stuck his tongue out at me!!!!! 👅

11/23/2023

All of us at Wash and Wags, along with the beautiful Miss Mollie, wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!! ❤️🦃

11/22/2023

We are so thankful for our customers, employees and ALL THE DOGS!!! ❤️

Remember we will be closed tomorrow and Friday to celebrate Thanksgiving!!

11/21/2023

Sometimes you just need the emotional support from your groomer to get dried.

11/20/2023

We sure are grateful and thankful for customers who know the way to our hearts, is through our stomachs. 😂😂. Thank you Rosie’s Mama for the awesome cupcakes! ❤️❤️

You probably know we do nail trims on dogs, cats and rabbits. But did you know that we can also cut hamster nails??? This is Stormy the hamster (the hands are provided by our very own groomer Megan 😂). Stormy stops in every couple months so Megan can give him a trim. It’s fun to watch, harder to get a picture of. How giant does Megan’s hands look in this??? 😂😂

11/17/2023

When your friend is chilly, you give him your sweatshirt. ❤️❤️

(All the other dogs were so jealous of Bodhi!) 😂

11/16/2023

Finnegan here, looking like he just posed for the cover of the latest issue of Dogs Weekly! 😍😍

11/15/2023

Jenny likes to take videos of Finn the Portuguese water puppy. And Finn, likes to run full tilt into her camera. Then Jenny laughs hysterically and shows everyone the videos. 😂😂

11/14/2023

This is Dante. He’s one of our regulars here for daycare. On Friday he was feeling a little spicy. He was starting trouble, so I got after him and told him to quit. Well, if you’ve ever been around a husky, you know they talk back. 😂😂. So we “argued” a minute then he laid down like this, folded his paws, looked at me and howled one last time. 😂😂🙄

How rad are dogs?? ❤️❤️😂

11/10/2023

Our sweet Winnie turned 6 years old today!!! She posed so nicely for us, and I’m sure the treats we gave her played no part!! 😂 Her wonderful Mama brought us donuts to celebrate! Happy Birthday Miss Wi******er! 🎉

11/09/2023

Finn- - oh hi Calli. I just happened to see you in front of the fridge. Whatcha looking for? Do you think there’s anything in there for good puppies? Look at me sitting like a big boy! Wow you ladies keep a lot of food in there. I only get dog food while you girls get all this? Why are you closing the door Calli? Don’t you see me wasting away here??

(Or how I imagine the convo would go in my head. 😂😂)

11/06/2023

You know we had to make a video of baby Finn. ❤️❤️. This will bring joy to your Monday.

Halloween week has been exciting! We got snow! ❄️ Stella dressed up as a panda bear! A sweet little girl had her Mama bring us candy for grooming her dog! ❤️. We started having a new puppy come in! His name is Finn and he’s a 9 week old Portuguese water dog! He hangs out in the back with us and we are all completely in love with him!! ❤️❤️

11/02/2023

Almost let this day pass without appreciating our groomers!

10/31/2023

Have a safe Halloween everyone!

10/31/2023

Stella being a fabulous panda bear this Halloween! 🎃

10/30/2023

Stella is mean mugging her way through Monday. 😂😂.

Meet our newest employee, Alexis!! She does daycare and boarding. You’ve probably seen her around but maybe not heard her. Lol. She’s very quiet and sweet. The dogs love her gentleness and her coworkers love her smile. We are so glad she’s here. ❤️

10/24/2023

Some cute dog pics we’ve taken recently. ❤️
