Haven’t posted for a while cause taking pictures of dogs without a helping hand is incredibly hard 😅😂 but here’s Miss Goldie girl, one of my very first clients, braving the snow to come see me. She such a sweet girl and one of the few that doesn’t mind photos ❤️

Spa days are exhausting 😂 What’s your opinion on “Mickey ears” for yorkies over the traditional pointy ears?

A lap of Yorkies 🥰

I have been in schnauzer heaven today 🥰 Look at this precious girl Stella! She came for her first ever groom. Normally a first groom is just a bath, nails and sanitary trim (puppies are wiggly so it’s a slow process) but this sweet girl let me do a semi schnauzer cut just not as short as normal. She is so so sweet!!

I think the belly rub on the table and the snuggles in the end may be the best part of grooming 🥰

When you take your spa time very serious 😂 I love this breed ❤️

Now, this is the kind of posts I absolutely hate to do but I'm learning that its a part of owning a business.
If you make an appointment with me, please please do one of two things. Keep your appointment and be on time or message/call me that you can't come or need to reschedule, ahead of time, if possible. I completely understand that things come up and sometimes you just can't make the appointment. I just ask you to be respectful of my time and I promise I will be respectful of yours as well. As I've said in previous posts, I don't over schedule and my spots are limited. I do a max of 3 dogs a day and only one or possibly two in the evenings after 5:00. Fridays I am off work, from my main job at 12 so today I scheduled my first groom at 1:00 then two dogs from the same client at 4:00 meaning that would be my max for the day and I probably wouldn't finish until 8:00 tonight. First appointment came and it went great. My 4:00 was a no show and that was two dogs. I had so many people that wanted these other two spots today. Please be mindful when appointments are made. If they are not kept or notice isn't given that you can't come, it hurts small businesses and also takes up space that other people really need 🐾

A little long but please read‼️

Since putting my sign up I have received a ton of calls and messages which is good. However, because I only do this part time, I'm not able to get to everyone. I will have to turn people down. My family and my full time job of 17 years will need to come first. I knew that we had a demand for grooming in this area so I was somewhat prepared and that is why I set guidelines. Please keep in mind that I only do small breeds (under 20lbs) and that is for two reasons. One, I am almost 50 years old and my back can't handle lifting large dogs. Second, I don't have the equipment to accommodate large dogs. I knew from the beginning that I could not do large breeds so I didn't purchase the type of equipment to do so.
Another reason I may need to turn down a new client is due to severe matting. All dogs get matted a little. Even my own boy schnauzer who has cotton like hair mats so easily. I brush him daily and when he wears a belly band (diaper) due to my girl being in heat, I shave his belly to prevent matting. I know it can happen but if the mats get severe, the only option is to shave them. Mats are very painful to dogs. Think about what it would feel like to have your skin pulling every time you walk or when your favorite person picks you up to be loved on 😞 Its very painful to them and hurts my heart to try to get the mats out. After a while, they can get frustrated and bite. That is no fault of the dog. They are in pain and I don't blame them at all. I'd probably bite someone too! So if you get a dog that needs groomed regularly then please remember that brushing in between grooms is so important. A little matting is completely normal and most of the time I can get them out with a grooming comb and some cream rinse or worst case, your dog may have a few bald spots if they have to be cut out. There is difference in a small amount of matting and severe matting. Today I had the sweetest girl that has the same hair as my boy schnauzer and she did have a little matting because she wears a harness but it was nothing I couldn't take care of. She has a great family who takes good care of her hair. She just has a lot of hair. Now, I said all of that to say if I encounter severe matting, I will have to cancel the appointment for two reasons. One, I'm not experienced enough and the chances of hurting a dog or myself getting bite is a lot higher. Two, it takes a lot of time to groom a dog in that condition. I made a commitment when I started this that I would not keep dogs no more to two or three hours, preferably two. I will only have your dog in my shop and all of my attention is devoted to the dog I'm working on. The next appointment doesn't come in until that one is finished and gone. I really do love grooming so I have to set guidelines in order to continue doing it. Also, if you have called me or text me about an appointment, I promise I will get back to you!

🐾 Let me tell you, dogs can be huggers cause this sweet girl is the best hugger ever 🥰 She is absolutely precious 🐾

I’m not very good at getting photos of dogs. I think that’s a two person job but sometimes I manage to do it 😬 Look at this cute little girl ❤️ I was terrified of doing a Yorkie cut (still scares me ) because it’s the hardest breed to cut with the most unforgiving hair of any breed. It also requires a lot of scissor work. It may be the hardest but it’s also the funniest to do! I learn something each time. This girl is the sweetest ever and her mom is the sweetest and most understanding customer who’s allowing me to gradually get over my Yorkie grooming fear ❤️

Look at this little Love bug 🥰 Didn’t much like having her face touched but with a few more grooms, she’ll be a pro ❤️

I need to tell myself a lot that just because I’m learning to cut dogs hair doesn’t mean I can cut human hair 🤣 Then I cut my own bangs before Easter 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Pitzeroo 🥰 the sweetest senior maltipoo (15 years old) was on my table today! I was extra gentle and he was precious 🐾

Dogs are great ❤️

There are few things as remarkable as a guide dog. The fact we can take an entirely different species and teach it how to be a protector is simply

More than grooming going on at the grooming salon 😊 I definitely have more things going on in my head than what I have time for 😂😅
