Cut & Strut Dog Grooming

Today, I had the opportunity to give back a little. This little guy is a new arrival at the rescue sanctuary in Sprague. You can read his story here:

We're pretty sure he's an Affenpinscher, or at least mostly, if mixed. And he's either been groomed before or just isn't afraid of or affected by the procedure, because he was very good for all of it 😍🐶

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your reactions and words of condolences. We have adopted a rescue pup, but I still cry over losing my girl 🥹

It is with great sadness and heartbreak that I must report to my grooming family the passing of my sweet, sweet Sophie at the age of 13 💔 We think she had a stroke in the early morning hours of August 20, so we had to make the difficult decision to have her PTS, so as not to prolong any suffering.

To say we are crushed just doesn't cover it 😭

Welcome, Loki, a 5mo Standard Schnauzer that we're hoping doesn't get bigger than my weight limit 😁 We just had to set the pattern for this first clip, and he was a good boy and pretty chill, until I started the blow dryer 😳 His pet parent was apprehensive about Loki losing his black fur, but was very happy with the outcome. It's such a unique color combination 🤩

Attention Grooming Clients: I had my ankle surgery on February 4, and recovery is going well. I've been able to start adding weight on the foot while in the walking boot, with and without the help of crutches. I'm on target to get back to the grooming schedule this week, but I need to make one scheduling adjustment.

If you have a 9:30am appt scheduled, please plan to make that 10:00am. It's taking me a little longer to get up and get going in the mornings, so that extra time is needed. Also, grooms may take a little longer than usual due to mobility challenges 😄 Confirmation reminders will still go out the day before appointments. Please let me know if this change creates a conflict and I'll try to accommodate.

Thank you so much for understanding and being the amazing clients that you are!

This song was gifted to me by a client. It's just the cutest thing ever... Enjoy!

country song. Listen and make your own with Suno.

Enjoyed working on this handsome boy for his first Cut & Strut spa day... bath, brush out, and nails. Happy to welcome Pluto to our little grooming family 🥰 Is it just me, or could this Frenchie/Chihuahua mix be Remy's brother from another mother, lol?

Mabel got her first Cut & Strut groom on Thursday... just a bath, brush out, tidy, and nails, so no before pic. She will be moving away soon, so I'll miss getting to know her better 💖

Today, we welcomed Sophia (joining her housemate, Maylie, a Cut & Strut regular) for her first bath and trim. She's very protective of her pet mom, so needs a muzzle for the hand-off, but she soon became a snuggly sweetheart that didn't need the muzzle after her bath (which I could have removed much sooner, but wanted to make sure she understood she was safe). She was very good for her first clip here and even gave me kisses 🥰

Today, we welcomed Everest, a.k.a. Evi, to our grooming family. This was his first groom, as he's barely 1yo, so he got the smoothie clip to tame those wild Terrier hairs 😄 He had to get accustomed to a new person and a new place with lots of new smells and scary sounds. Overall, he did great and is a very good boy 👍🥰 I look forward to watching his progression at future appts.
