What a heartwarming tribute to some of my beloved pups who are no longer with us and have earned their wings. @alphabet.art.photos sent this incredible gift, having recently lost their cherished Bella, whom I groomed for 3 years and adored as my own. All I can say is thank you for this stunning piece of art, which will be proudly displayed in my salon to honor the sweet dogs who are no longer in my care, but are instead running free at the Rainbow Bridge.

"Important Reminder: Do Your Research Before Choosing a Groomer!
I'm not trying to bash any groomers, but I want to raise awareness about the importance of researching the person you hire to care for your pet. I've shared similar posts before, begging people to do their due diligence.
There are many talented, passionate groomers in our area who truly love their job and prioritize animal care. However, there are also unqualified "groomers" who lack the knowledge and training to handle sensitive dogs.
Meet Murphy, a sweet golden doodle who had the misfortune of encountering an unskilled groomer. Murphy doesn't like his legs handled roughly, but that's no excuse for the groomer's negligence. Unfortunately, Murphy was cut twice, very badly.
As groomers, we know accidents can happen, but it's our responsibility to inform pet owners and take necessary steps to prevent future incidents. Instead, Murphy's previous groomer chose to cover up the mistake and send him home without disclosing the truth.
Today, Murphy visited me to finish his groom and work on making his experience less stressful. It took three hours, but we succeeded! While Murphy may not look perfect, we prioritized his comfort and safety above all else.
Stay tuned for videos of Murphy's experience!
Remember, your pet's well-being is in your hands. Take the time to research, ask questions, and choose a groomer who truly cares about your furry friend."
Dogs facts
Dogs can shake off about 70% of the water from their fur in four seconds. This is called the "wet dog shake
Did you know that every piece of my salon was created with a purpose? My floors are water and scratch resistant, so if puppies pees or poops I can easily clean them and steam the floors? White towels so I can wash them at high temperature with bleach to sanitize? Tile in the bathing area so we can use lots of water, steam, use germicidal bleach, bathtubs and soap mixer cleaned daily and the bathing system with what i shampoo your puppies also get desinfected with vinegar so everything will be spotless and ready for next day. I did all of this thinking about the well-being of all the pups that come to my salon.
Also did you know every plant at my salon is real?
Photosynthesis is a process that involves plants converting the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen and eliminating toxins from the air. Many houseplants are known for purifying the air and removing toxic chemicals, including:
Formaldehyde, which can cause irritation to nose, mouth and throat.
Benzene can lead to drowsiness, dizziness and headaches, and can eventually cause harmful effects on the bone marrow and a decrease in red blood cells.
Trichloroethylene, which can result in dizziness, headache, confusion and weakness.
Being around and seeing plants can help us feel calmer and reduce anxiety. We look at some of our favourite plants to help support our mental health.
They are a natural air purifier,
My own dogs also get groom here. So I want the same for everyone.

Oh Bella you will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll miss our regular visits, her snuggles, and her spiciness energy.
I feel lucky to have been her groomer for the past 3 years.
I will miss her,
Rest in peace, dear Bella. You will never be forgotten.
