Your dog has memorized the sound of your car, the rhythm of your laugh, and the exact moment your heart sinks.
You are their whole world.

I just wanted to let everyone know I am returning back to grooming a little sooner after my surgery than I thought I would. Initially I was planning on taking off till the middle to end of July. Here’s Miss Vixie for cuteness tax.

Forgot to post here’s Vixie with her hair do. Before is on the chair. If you don’t get me by messages here you can always text or call me at 541-360-8821. I’ve been a little busy training dogs, I have forgotten to take photos of the grooms I do.

Hey y’all! Sorry I haven’t been posting much here. I still am doing grooming. I also do training, pet sitting, dog walking and more! If you don’t reach me here you can try my personal Facebook @ Tana Burnette or try my personal phone at 541-360-8821. I am currently booking grooms 2 weeks out and only do a limited amount of grooming nowadays. I prioritize accepting dogs that are puppies, elderly, disabled or need behavioral work with grooming.

Friends,
I am sick this week. I am hoping not for long as I am very uncomfortable and miss seeing you all. As far as it goes with appointments I will be having to move everyone to the soonest available.

If I am able to make it to your scheduled appointment I will certainly do so. I am currently in a fair amount of pain, struggling to breathe, and have a horrible migraine in addition to the congestion.

I am so very sorry for the inconvenience this caused anyone. I would trade getting to hang with dogs any day over being sick if I could.

🩷Hey just a friendly reminder HOUSE CALL means you call me to come into your house. IN HOME means I groom in my home. MOBILE GROOMING means I have a van to groom out of anywhere (apartments, houses, businesses or animal shelter parking lots, can be done literally anywhere even campgrounds). 🩷

I am and still remain a house call service. I do not offer grooming from my home as my dogs do not like random dogs coming here. Plus my driveway would cause yall to p**p your pants coming up it. 😂 I am not looking to expand into a shop or a van in the future as dog training is my primary focus these days. I still offer dog walking, pet sitting and grooming services.

For salon grooming in Unicoi/Johnson City I highly recommend Ashley Bayer and Chloe Burgess with Pawsitive Touch. The girls are amazing. 🐾 +1 (423) 735-9949

For IN HOME grooming in Unicoi call Jessica Duncan at
+1 (423) 946-3083

For North Asheville I recommend Zen Dog Spa 🐾 +1 (828) 271-4741
For South Asheville I recommend All About Grooming with Linda Cole. 🐾 +1 (828) 577-1744

As far as a mobile recommendation I have none as they are all full & not accepting new clients. 🤷🏼‍♀️

House call I have got you covered! 😉🐾

On account of the weather and my driveway being steep and slick I am going to be cancelling my route for today and likely this weekend. I apologize for the inconvenience this causes anyone. I have reached out to everyone personally but wanted to post this in case the message didn’t go thru to anyone.

It’s posts like these I hate to make. This month we have lost both Rambo M and Schuyler I. Just a little over a week in between two of my favorite dogs between passings. I lost a fair amount of dog friends during the hurricane, it makes it even harder to lose my dog friends after the fact.

One thing I feel a lot of people misunderstand about me and how I do my business is my heart. I feel that a lot of people don’t quite understand how much of my heart I give to what I do. My entire life is centered around dogs and researching about them so I can better communicate with them. I am yet to stop my dedication to understanding them, working with them and providing them the ultimate care. I love every single dog I meet. I become friends with dogs I see on the regular. I get to know their little personalities, their liked, their dislikes, what they tolerate and what they don’t. I think of them like I do my friends. I prioritize them and make sure they receive the most love and respect possible.

I tried so hard to display this when I had my salon in Unicoi. It was always my dream to be there and focus on the dogs. I just don’t think the majority of people was able to see how much I loved the dogs and what I do. It was getting to a point where it was burning me out and wearing me down. People assumed I was just there to make money and not care for their pets. It always hurt my heart and my soul whenever people would constantly talk to me like I was there to hurt their pets or drug them or mishandle them. The constant assumption that talking to me like a recording on the phone line wouldn’t get to me ate at me.

I stepped away from many reasons and the biggest one was to protect my heart and what I love doing. I love working with my dogs in their homes because the people that allow me there know I love their dogs like they are my own. They know I cry with them when their dogs pass. They know when I’m there grooming, training or pet sitting that I am advocating for their needs around the block.

These are two guys I see on the regular and knowing I won’t ever get to see them again makes my heart hurt. I knew the last time I seen Rambo it was the last, he told me. I wasn’t prepared to say by to Schuyler as he was running around and doing just fine when I seen him a couple days before Christmas.

Rest in peace little pieces of my heart, Rambo & Schuyler. I will forever miss your sweet faces and love.

Hey y’all I have some spots let for Kingsport and near by areas this week. If you are wanting your dogs to look good for Christmas I recommend reaching out soon to make sure I have time before the holiday. I am mostly full for then but have some spots left. Also if you do not get a response from me keep trying, I am not offended I am often out on my route and mean to return texts and calls but forget that I opened them at a clients home. Please keep trying till you get me. I’m not blowing you off. Calls are typically better so I can help immediately.

I forgot to share my little Ollie!! I went and seen him before the holiday. He’s such a sweet little guy. Him and I have been friends for a couple of years now. He’s a little blind nowadays but he is still as sweet and handsome as ever. I truly enjoy all dogs. The ones with disabilities will always hold a special place in my hearts.

It’s a glamour fur day with Miss Dolly Wobbles! She’s just the sweetest and cutest girl around.
