We say good bye to October with one more pup of lore, and that pup is Fenrir!

Fenrir or Fenrisúlfr, along with Hel and the World Serpent, is a child of Loki and female jötunn Angrboða. He is a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology and in old Norse texts, Fenrir plays a key role during the events of Ragnarök, where he is foretold to assist in setting the world aflame, resulting in the collapse of humanity and society, and kill the god Odin! 😲

Thanks for learning with us and we hope everyone had a very happy Halloween!

Also, don’t forget that our Howl-O-Ween costume contest is officially up and running! We will be taking submissions until the end of October and the winner gets a special prize for both themselves and their pup along with a donation to a charity of their choice!

This week we are sniffing around Chinese mythology and learning about Panhu!

The myth of Panhu is that of a dragon-dog who transformed into a man and married a princess. In the myth, there was an old woman in an ancient Chinese king's palace who had ear pain for many years. A royal physician plucked out a small, golden worm from her ear, and placed it inside of a gourd covered with a plate. This is the origin of Panhu's name, which literally means "plate gourd". The worm then turned into a dog, Panhu, who in some versions had five colored fur. The king offered to marry his daughter to anybody that would present him with the head of his enemy. This was accomplished by Panhu. Accounts vary, but eventually Panhu and the princess had six sons and six daughters who became the famous 12 clans of Chinese mythology! 🐲🐶

Today we are tipping our hats and wagging our tails at one of the most famous mythological pups, Cerberus!

Cerberus, often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, the last of Heracles' twelve labours.

In order to celebrate our furry friends and the spoopiest time of the year, we will be mentioning some dogs from myth and lore with all our Wagger posts!

Today we give a shout out to the Freybug! This pup is said to be a monstrous Black Dog that is stated to come from medieval English folklore, specifically from Norfolk. Like most supernatural black dogs, it was roughly the size of a calf, and wandered country roads terrifying travelers~ 👁️👄👁️

Hello all! As most of our wonderful clients know our groomer (Brianna) and her wife have been expecting a baby and they welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world on September 18th. Unfortunately labor and delivery was very hard on mama and baby both and after some complications an emergency c-section had to be preformed. Both mama and baby are here but will need some extra time and care to make full recoveries and be well enough to go home.
As such Swagger Wagger will be off the road for the rest of the week while we rally around our loved ones. We want to thank all of our amazing clients for their time, their understanding, and their support during this time. We appreciate you all more than you know. 🥰

More fall facts! Fall was called “harvest” because of the “harvest moon” that occurs when the full moon is closest to the autumn equinox. Before man-made lighting, this moonlight was essential to a prosperous harvest!

It’s not technically fall yet but we’re really excited for it so we’re gonna pretend like it is! So in the spirit of it being ALMOST fall have to is fall fact! 😄

Americans typically refer to this time of year as “fall,” while the British use the word “autumn.” Both terms date back to the 16th century but before that it was called “harvest.
