13 years in this career and I learn something new everyday.

Today I learned
✨if a 120lbs dog wants to go somewhere it literally just will

✨A 120-lb dog can and will open a tiny window… and jump out of it like she’s auditioning for Mission Impossible.

✨ I also learned the true lengths I will go for my dogs… which apparently includes getting hit by a car and running 2 miles barefoot like some kind of confused Disney princess.

✨And finally: I am absolutely, undeniably NOT as fast as a Great Dane.

But here’s the part that got me
The way my clients, family, and friends SHOWED UP. People prayed. People left work. People ran out of their houses in pajamas. People literally dropped everything without hesitation.
I just… I love y’all. So much. More than I could ever say. God CAN and WILL show up and show out. There is POWER in prayer. I’m sore, she’s tired… but neither one of us has a single scratch. 🙏❤️

Now—allow me to formally introduce the star of today’s chaos:
✨ Birdie ✨
✨aka houdini✨
the exceptionally smart, overly athletic, Great Dane
Birdie Facts:

✨Can clear a solid 7 feet like it’s NOTHING
✨Can and WILL do whatever she pleases💅🐩
✨Can open anything (doors, windows, probably the gates of heaven if she felt like it
✨Athletic ASF
✨Possibly 12% antelope
✨Can fit through a space the size of a cereal box at 40 mph
✨Certified Good Girl
✨Loves to frolic majestically through mountains

Birdie and her brothers are HOME SAFE for the holidays, and we can’t WAIT to see them at their next appointment. Stay tuned for The Birdie Chronicles 😂🫠
And to formally meet her brothers Odin and Bo!

I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again.
If you ever start thinking you’re something special, try telling someone else’s dog what to do… and then humble yourself. 😂🫠

🎃🐾October flew by faster than a dog with after bath zoomies! 🐩🏁�
So fast in fact that between the chaos and loss, and me injuring myself😅🫠

Seen court rooms and court side, ain’t too many seen both sides.

Just wanted to say thank you for everything. Thank you for 8 beautiful years. I can never put in to words my appreciation for the grace yall show me, nor the way yall rally behind me. Thank you all for being part of the beautiful and chaotic little downtown dog family. I love you all so dearly.
Forever screaming ONLY THE BEST GO DOWNTOWN🔮🐩✨🪩

One day, making them cute won’t matter, but keeping them comfortable will. One day, they’ll need me to get creative with how I groom them, because they can’t stand for very long anymore.

The hardest part of this job is the loss. Watching owners and animals grieve, wishing I could somehow lighten that weight. This past week has truly hit hard. Loving these dogs means feeling the heartbreak too — but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I can never thank you all enough for the opportunity to love and care for your dogs through every stage of their lives, from their bouncy first grooms to the gentle final ones. It’s an honor that never gets easier, but it’s one I’m endlessly grateful for.

I’ve decided to cope by believing that all of these dogs are just adding to the pack that will be waiting for me one day — that when my time comes, I’ll be met by a stampede of every single dog I’ve ever loved.

Keep the downtown dog family in your prayers, I love you all so dearly🤍🐩🔮

🪩🐩🔮Big things are happening at The Downtown Dog 🔮🐩🪩

After 8 beautiful years with the same cozy space and all of your familiar, wonderful faces, we’re giving the shop a much-deserved facelift!

It’s the start of an exciting new chapter, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s coming. This is just the beginning—we have so many more surprises to share with you over the next few weeks, and we know you’re going to love it. 🐾
As we get everything sorted after vacation (and while juggling this exciting chaos), I just ask for a little patience. If you’re unsure about your appointment or think you may have been missed, please don’t hesitate to text me—I promise we’re doing everything humanly possible to keep everyone on their usual rotation.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for 8 years of love, support, and a whole bunch of dogs. Here’s to fresh beginnings and even happier days ahead at The Downtown Dog!

Heads Up from The Downtown Dog💜🐩💜

I know the schedule’s been a bit off lately, and I truly appreciate your patience. This little pause is all about coming back refreshed and ready to serve you and your pups even better💜💜

🚨If you receive a text from me about scheduling, please respond ASAP so I can make sure everything is seamless for the weeks following my return. I'm working hard now to ensure you're fully set up before I step away🚨

Just a quick update from me!
My sweet mama is sick, and I’ve got the phone for the next week while we manage everything. I’m just now getting off with a chance to sit down and work through bookings and messages, and I promise I’m doing everything I can to get back to each of you as quickly as possible!

🫧If you have a rotation— you still have an appointment.

🫧If you’re waiting on a reschedule — I will get you taken care of!

🫧If you haven’t heard back yet — I’m not ignoring you, I promise.

Thank you all for your love, patience, and understanding during this time. And if you happen to get a text from me at 12am... well, I’ve got to squeeze it in when I can 😅
Love you all so dearly!

Can we just take a moment on this rainy Thursday afternoon, to admire some of the most perfectly groomed babes 🐩🪩🔮😍

With summer vacations, reschedules, and all the chaos that comes with it, the schedule has been a little wonky! We’re working avidly to straighten it out and make sure everyone gets in when they are supposed/can . Thank you for your patience and understanding while I navigate the busy season – it means everything. 🫶

I also wanted to announce A BIG CONTEST that is coming soon!

🪩🐩 Forever Saving Double Coated Dogs

Every day, I’m reminded just how special it is to do what I love—and that’s helping dogs live their best, healthiest, happiest lives! 🐩🫧

When it comes to double coated dogs, shaving is never the answer. These incredible coats are designed by nature to protect them from both heat and cold. All it takes is the right deshedding treatment, time, and a little TLC.

My signature deshedding service doesn’t just make them look great—it helps them feel better. Their skin can breathe, their coat stays healthy, and they stay cool and comfortable even in the summer months. The transformation is truly amazing, and I’m so thankful to be able to help every pup that comes through my doors. 🐩🪩

I’m passionate about educating pet parents, and honored to be a part of each dog’s journey to better health and grooming. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies. It means the world to me.

Oh—and don’t forget! Vote for best of Rome if you haven’t yet, just click the link below!
