I would like to thank everyone for being patient and waiting for their pups appointments and for those I can't get too I'm so sorry. I hope to eventually hire help in the form of a bather or another groomer. If you know someone looking send them my way. Limited big dogs as I'm trying not to blow my foot out. 😆😆

Love when someone calls and says all the dogs on my street look like they have been to a spa parlor so I need to get my dog an appointment with you. It's the little things sometimes. ❤️

THIS........

When you work with dogs, you make a deal with an angel. This is like a deal with the devil: Just in reverse. Instead of giving up your soul, you get a bigger one.

You will have good days and bad days at work, but they’ll be good overall, even the tough ones. You will have puppies you’ve spent an hour bathing and drying get excited to see their owners and p*e all over themselves. You will gain an uncanny ability to repeat yourself like a broken record to pet parents without tire. You will have it in your heart to help animals that have been utterly failed by humans again and again without the tragedy whittling your psyche into nothing. You will be able to lift and carry a German Shepherd as though it’s a toy poodle. You will have the energy to hike all day on a stomach full of hot dogs and cheese (that you prepared for the dogs), eaten in the drivers seat of your car. You will see how much damage a dog can do, and still be unafraid of them. You will develop an unreasonably large memory for dog names (this doesn’t go for their owner’s names though), dating back decades. You will devote an even less reasonable amount of memory on your phone’s storage to pictures of dogs that aren’t yours. You will answer questions about dogs all day at work and still be thrilled to answer questions about dogs when you are off work.

There’s a trade-off, though, that’s how deals work. There will be a final time those dogs come to the vet. A final walk, maybe even a final training session. A final time they come to daycare. A final groom. A final day in rescue. A final patrol. You might not even know it at the time, but there’s a final time for everything and every dog. You might cry all the way through it. Your soul will hurt like hell. But souls are like muscles, they hurt, then they heal up stronger than before.

So when you make a deal with an angel, it’s gonna be okay. Everything comes at a cost, but there are some really good deals in life.

It's been a year since I reopened the salon after Ian. It's been a bumpy road but worth it. Hoping this next year goes a lil smoother for me and everyone else.🥂

I have a hand full of appointments between now and Thanksgiving so if your pup needs a spa day before Thanksgiving give me a call.

PSA to my clients there is a at least a 14ft gator hanging out behind our building so please be careful when you walk your dogs to potty back there. Stay alert and becareful.

Just wanted to let everyone know the salon did just fine. Thank goodness. After we get water and electric back I will be calling to reschedule those that need to be. Hopefully I can get back to work this week coming and get everyone taken care of in a timely manner. Thanks so much.

I wanted to let everyone know the salon made out just fine from hurricane Helene. It's back to business as usual Monday morning. So thankful as it could have been worse.
