✨ Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving weekend! ✨
I thought I’d share another Ninja Groomer Customer Spotlight — and today we’re featuring the adorable Miss Teeter! 💕
She is so stinkin’ cute and full of spunky personality. This time of year, gratitude really takes center stage, and I am incredibly thankful for the joy Teeter brings into my life… just like every single one of my amazing clients. 🧡
I asked Teeter’s parents a few of my favorite fun questions, and here’s what they had to say! 👇


How did you choose your dog's name? We love the show “Yellowstone” and knew she was going to be lovey but feral (being a small dog and all), and Teeter is the name of the cowgirl on the show. She is feisty, funny, and easy to fall in love with her character so we named our girl, Teeter! And it was the PERFECT name because she definitely is feisty, funny, and loving.

Does your dog have any unique habits or quirks? Every morning, the second each of us wake up, she holds our face, and gives kisses for 5-10 minutes non stop. She is also the typical little sister and takes her brother, Mowgli’s (black lab), toys away from him.

Favorite toys/treats? Her favorite toy is her lamb chops, she has multiple of them, in a few different sizes. She also loves her brother’s big super chewer toys, specifically one that resembles a stick and also a broccoli one.

Do you have any funny or memorable stories you'd like to share? Teeter is very demanding, requiring regular belly rubs every day! We have started calling it a “bellus rub”. She will come over and stretch herself over your hand whether you are working at a desk, relaxing on the couch, or just trying to sleep, she will find your hand and place the bellus upon it! She is not shy on letting you know what she wants including staring directly at you after she rings the bell to go outside, or barking at you and staring you down when one side of her two sided food bowl is empty because why should she actually eat out of the other side!

What's a typical day like for you with your dog? We wake up to all the lovings, morning zoomies in the backyard with full barking, attacking big brother (Mowgli) for morning playtime, then typically she will sleep the next six hours before starting the process all over again. In the evenings, Teeter plays with her toys a lot, making sure they know she would snap their neck if they were alive, we call this “being wolfie”, then she demands a lot of those belly rubs, and happily curls up on your lap to end the day with love and cuddles! 🥰

What made you choose the Ninja Groomer for your doggie spa? We were recommended Ninja Groomer through a friend and when we looked Kat up on social media we could see the love she has for all the fur babies she takes of and we knew our girl would be in such good hands!

What do you love most about the grooming experience at Ninja Groomer? We love that Teeter shows her excitement when she realizes we are going for spa day, and afterwards for a week Teeter 100% shows us how good she is feeling about herself! Kat is the absolute sweetest and from the first appointment to present day she always has made it a priority that Teeter feels safe and comfortable in her care.

We feel so grateful to have found the Ninja Groomer (and Kat)! We will definitely be lifelong customers and know our babies will always be loved and in the best care on spa days!

The fields are down and coyotes are out and about more now. I’ve had clients lose their small dogs to coyotes in the past. They now make special suits/ jackets out of Kevlar and spikes. From what I have heard these do work. So if you have a small dog and this is a real concern for you then check into this.

Good Morning everyone! I hope y'all are having a fantastic week. It's been a few weeks since my last spotlight post and I am so sorry for that! Let's get this show started again! This cute little lady is a joy to have in my life. I started grooming her when I first opened this salon and I am so grateful for her. This is "London" everybody! Here is what her dad had to say about her:

"London's name came from the breeder and we didn't charge it as she was already used to it. Guess breeders run out of names eventually! She loves attention but will not let anyone dog sit her if we leave for a few days. She will put on the brakes at the sidewalk. London's favorite toy, and only toy, is the "flea" We've purchased several other toys but she totally ignores them so have stopped buying anything different. It would be a disaster if we can't replace it so we stock up! She parades around the yard with it in her mouth and likes to hide it in the flowers or run in circles going in and out of the house and yard. Her favorite dog treat is "cows ear". She gets a small sliver every Sunday. She was chewing a small piece when I picked her up at the breeders. A typical day for us is to wake up-get a small treat-eat-walk(she has specific paths for morning and afternoon) and then we nap. If you try to deviate she stops firm until you figure it out. We were excited when Ninja was building a shop near us for convenience and Kat's reputation is really good. Kat loves her clients and her clients love her. She makes grooming a fun experience."

Thank you so much for being a part of the Ninja Groomer family!

Soooo... I have a client that is also a very loved friend of mine who has been asking me for years to do a dye job on her dog, Gus' tail. Dye jobs are a lot harder than people might think and they also consume a ton of time so I put it off for a very long time lol, but I finally decided, why not!? I should do this. I know it will bring her so much joy and she deserves that. She is one incredible woman who have tons of respect for. So, yeah, I'll do it. I had an afternoon open up and texted to see if she could bring him in separate from her other two dogs. That way I wouldn't have the pressure of getting all three dogs done plus a dye job. She was absolutely on board and extremely excited. She brought him in, picked out the colors, and then left me to my work. Total time I have into this job was about 3 1/2 hours. I also had to phone a friend, in this case a husband, to assist. Here is a condensed version of the process. I couldn't believe the overwhelming joy my customer felt when she walked through the door and saw the finished product. I honestly thought she was going to cry at one point lol. After my heart has been hurting for a while, seeing this reminded me of all the happiness and love we get to have with our furry friends. I am so grateful I got to see this and feel it to the core of my heart. Thank you Lori Thompson for never giving up on your dream or me for that fact and bringing my life this unforgettable moment of joy. 💜
