Many of you know I have been powering through some back pain for years and years and years.... It is frustrating and heartbreaking for me to have to let you all know that I have learned that I have 2 herniated discs and that I have no choice but to make some changes for my health, which means grooming fewer large dogs, and only grooming large dogs that are cooperative. I've got a bunch of big dogs that are very good dogs, for which I'm thankful! A few of my large dogs, I will be able to move to Saturday appointments in which I have help from my husband. Others, I simply will not be able groom any longer. I have messaged those with large dogs I will no longer be able to groom. 😩 Accepting my own limitations is difficult, and frustrating, and I will miss those dogs I cannot groom anymore. 😢

I'm hoping these changes protects my back, allows me to avoid surgery, and prevents so many recurring back strains. Although I just recently received this news because of waiting on that MRI appointment, right now I'm actually doing well and much better having recovered from the worst of the back strain. Thank you all for your patronage and support, and again, I am so sorry to those I have to say goodbye to.

Let me tell you about Aspen, and her awesome new mom!!!

Aspen's new mom found her running stray shortly before Christmas, starving and emaciated. She brought her to me for an emergency grooming. She was a SKELETON. I cannot emphasize enough that she looked like a skeleton. Every bone, every rib, ever notch of her spine, hips and tendons were visible. She was just 12 lbs. She was dirty, matted, and obviously had recently been nursing puppies. She was badly engorged. Her mammaries were hard, red and hot to the touch; she had mastitis. This poor girl was suffering. I opted only to spot shave off the mats, leaving some hair on her head, back and body with bald patches in places. I was too scared to bathe her or stress her out in any way more than was absolutely necessary. She left my salon looking like a skeleton that had gotten ran over by a lawn mower. I honestly thought she was going to die. 😩 But her new mom would change all of that!!! She was in such poor shape, the vet recommended euthanasia, but her mom wanted to give her every chance. She took her home on a strict re-feeding schedule in which she tube-fed her very small amounts frequently throughout the day. Miraculously, she lived!!! Her new mom literally rescued and saved her life!

They also found out she was microchipped! They were able to find her owners that had dumped her, and they still had her puppies! They were malnourished without their mom. The puppies were reunited with Aspen, and she continued to nurse and care for them until they were old enough to find their forever homes! 🥰🥰🥰

Look at her now!!! So pretty! 😍😍😍 She looks so different! Before, she looked like a starved Italian Greyhound/poodle mix - she was so starved and frail. Even her face/head looks so different now! Now you can actually tell she's a mini Aussiedoodle! And she's healthy and happy!!! All thanks to her new mom!!! ❤️
