What I get to see at work ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Molly for bringing him in ❤️❤️
Albus and I chose the winner for the raffle!! Anyone who had donated to help with the fundraiser I've been having for the Humane Society for Animals, Inc was entered!
Buddy H won a free groom, Karman and Panic won a half off their ticket price, and Madison won free add ons with her grooming!
We will be fundraising for the foreseeable future for this cause. I still have some supplies to make more adoption bags, but could use more support purchasing more items!
Thank you to everyone supporting all the causes that mean so much to me 🩷❤️💜
This week's most improved is Willy! Willy has come so far. Maybe the biggest improvement from any pet in our salon.
Willy comes in with his sister Maggie and was a new addition to the family. Maggie is a perfect angel for the entire process, so when Willy came in, I was hoping for the same.
Well, Willy wasn't used to grooming at all! He was the most excited, stressed out ball of energy I've ever seen. We have another happy boy, named Cuddles, and he puts Cuddles to shame. Willy was so hard to do in the bath, couldn't even attempt to blow dry him and at the beginning took 2 people, sometimes 3, and a belly band to get his grooming done. At the first visit I couldn't do a single thing to his head or neck. Over each visit, Willy began to understand the process and learn to trust me. Each time I have been able to do more and more, with less help from anyone else each time.
It's probably been about 2 years since Willy first came to the salon. This visit, he was so relaxed in the tub. He didn't bark a single time in the kennel! And for his grooming? I did it without any help and could groom his head with my clipper and scissors. Willy is still the happiest boy and is so wiggley but he is just constantly trying to give me kisses with his adorable over bite.
I love seeing how far he has come. Every time he comes in, Averyl always says she doesn't know how I can groom him. But Willy trusts me and let's me do anything I need to do, but I have to let him kiss me as much as he wants to!
I'm proud of you Willy! Thanks for letting me be your groomer!
Euthanasia is never an easy subject, but there is such beauty in giving your pet peace. This is such a tough thing to go through, but our pets look to us to provide them comfort in life. This is the final comfort you can offer them.
Don't forget to treat your furry friends! Flea and ticks can cause awful illnesses!
So thankful for all our clients, pets and staff ❤️❤️❤️
Our most improved this week is adorable Annie! She's been coming since she was a puppy and she used to be so spicey!! She would show all her teeth when you'd try to trim her face and was so naughty for drying her head. Now she sits perfectly and gives me kisses off and on the entire process. Her mom even came to get her today while I was still working on her and it didn't phase her in the slightest!
Bringing puppies young and staying consistent helps teach them that this process is nothing scary! It's so easy for Annie to get groomed because she comes every 4 weeks, she is in great condition with no matting and it's just a great time for her! She gets all the love and attention for an hour or so and leaves happy! Pets that aren't brought consistently don't have that same experience. Removing matting can be painful and the process can take so much longer!
Thank you to Annie and her mom for being such great customers and for sticking to a routine for her! She is definitely one of my favorite babies!
After your 462847374728 mean customer you just need a break. Jezzie is always happy to offer a million stinky kisses to make anyone feel better.
Please remember, we are human. We expect to be treated like humans. Please be kind. Everyone has hard days, but that does not offer anyone a pass to treat others like they are less than.
I could tell you all stories about how terrible people have been, but instead I'll tell you about our last customer from today!
We tell her we only have her dog as our last dog. She ended up moving her own appointment after so she could pick her up right away since we would be closing and was so nice about it. At pick up she tells us that her dog loves us and gets excited and she especially likes me because of my voice. So this high pitched voice comes in handy! Her dog was wonderful and we are so thankful to have both of them as clients!
