Hello from the NerdyGroomer! I hope everyone is having a great October! The change of season is time for a fresh new ‘do!
This is Guinness ♥️ He is the goodest of boys! Such a sweet dog who loves to bring me his toys when I walk in the door. And when he’s done he jumps around in a circle in front of mom because he just can’t wait to show off his new haircut. He does what I like to call the “look at me-aren’t I cute?” dance.
He gets a #2 guard comb all over with scissored Westie ears. We use special shampoo from his vet for his skin allergies and for a shorter rounded off nail (because of littles in the house) he gets his nails grinded for a smooth edge.
Get your dogs haircut ready for the fall season.
October is full up but there are appointments available in November. Please message for availability, as NerdyGroomer schedule has made some changes.

The NerdyGroomer wishes all you nerdy dog lovers out there a !
55 years ago today-the first episode aired. (And no this pic isn’t from that episode)
There is so much that the world gained from the brilliant mind of Gene Roddenberry. The technology alone inspired many of the modern conveniences we now enjoy today, like cell phones(just one of the many examples)
The show constantly pushed social boundaries and norms, from the first in*******al kiss, to seeing women in positions of power, and then onto Next Generation where we saw Picard stop huge galactic wars with the power of diplomacy. Counselor Troy taught us that even the toughest of warriors need to check in with their mental health. Commander Riker mostly taught us to cover our drink. Data taught us it’s ok to be human. Star Trek teaches the smart kid in the back of the class that while the bullies may tease him now, he’s one day closer to working for NASA.
My favorite story about the cast is when Nichelle Nichols who played Uhura almost quit the show, when Martin Luther King Jr himself stopped her at an event and asked her not to leave the show because what she was doing was so important for young black girls hoping they could be just like her.
I loved Star Trek. Always have. And I hope it continues to inspire the Next Generation of nerds. ♥️

Say hello to phoebe! She is an old friend who I was so happy to see again! Today she received a half inch guard comb all over with a teddy bear type head.
Phoebe is very well behaved and loves her treats! In fact that’s the only way I could get her to look at me when I was ready for a picture! I said “phoebe you want treat?” She whipped that head around so fast I almost felt bad I didn’t have one in my hand. 😂
By the end she had earned her cookies. She’s absolutely fabulous!

Meet vinnie.
I’m so glad I did. ♥️
Vinnie is a new customer who had so much shedding undercoat I didn’t know if I was going to get it all out. (I forgot to take a before picture -which I’m kicking myself for now)
Now, vinnie is about 12 years old and suffers from collapsing trachea. I had to take it real slow with him and use a cross body leash so that I wouldn’t irritate his breathing. I gave him two scrub downs with Chi shampoo and conditioner. Then I carefully blow dried and brushed and combed till I had piles of shedding undercoat on my table. Then I handscissored this teddy bear type Pomeranian look.
Let me say this-vinnie is one of the best Pomeranians I’ve worked on in a long time. Usually this breed, this age, are very ornery and territorial. They don’t like being messed with. Vinnie was an angel. Perfect for everything and when I showed his mom and dad his finished look, he literally pranced around the living room! And then promptly took a nap. 😂
This family was a joy to meet and I’m looking forward to seeing vinnie again next month. ♥️

These two cuties!! This is Frankie and Emma. BFFs forever.
They both received a 3/4 inch comb all over and a 7/8ths comb on the head. This gives them a trimmed but fluffy look they get once a month.
Every time I show up to their house they run up to me and kiss me and it warms my heart to know I’m accepted into their pack.
So sweet on the table. Angels for everything! When I’m working on Emma (the smaller one) Frankie doesn’t leave her side. He stays close by curled up in his pet bed or under the sink. Every so often he’ll walk up to check and makes sure everything is ok, then goes back to his power nap.
There’s something so special about the love of a dog, and even though I only have one dog that lives with me I have so many that are like extended family. I love these guys ♥️♥️

This Duke. My smallest customer.
Duke gets a 10 all over with a 2 comb blended and trimmed head. Also he got a chi bath and conditioner-wich is very popular with my customers. It’s incredibly moisturizing and really helps with shedding and tangled hair.
His parents still don’t believe me when I tell them how quiet he is during grooming. Mom says he acts like the alpha dog of the neighborhood.
Duke is sweet and likes to lay on his belly on the table while I’m cutting his hair. He also is quite the model and loves to pose for his photo shoot. What a cuddle bug! Let’s see how many likes we can get for this sweet baby!

Say hello to Tula !

Tula gets an easy maintenance cut of a 2 comb all over with a 1comb on the head and a chi bath for a moisturized skin and coat.
Tula is a sweet girl who is a wild child at home but an angel on the table. Her fave game is fetch, but get ready cause she’ll play for hours.
Tula is on the list of my best behaved customers. She stands there like a statue and lets me do everything I need her to. Every so often we pause for little kisses on the nose. And as soon as we’re done and I let her off the lead she runs as fast as she can up the stairs to show her mom just how pretty she looks!
I had forgotten to take a picture of her on the table, so her mom graciously sent me some to post here today. Message me for an appointment and you’ll see your pup on here as well!!♥️♥️

A friend and fellow groomer shared this on Facebook today. I’m not sure who the original poster is, but I thought I would share it here bc this is absolutely true.
I will say that Skunk smell does take awhile to get out no matter what you do. It will always linger for a month or so-and you’ll smell it more if they get wet.
But I would follow this up w a Chi shampoo and conditioner. Not only because it smells amazing but the dish soap or human shampoo can really dry out their skin.
Also in my experience, 10-15 minute set of the paste is perfectly fine. I don’t think I could keep my dog happy sitting just in the tub for 30 minutes.
But the basics of this method are the most effective I know of in terms of reducing the severity of the aroma.
At home, dust carpets lightly w baking soda and a spray of vinegar. Then when the carpets are dry-vacuum. That helps.
Skunks are very inconvenient for pet owners. I can’t remember how many desperate or fed up customers I’ve talked to over the years who can’t get their dogs to stop chasing the black and white kitties. Cause no matter how hard to try not to, by the end of the experience, you’re skunky-your house is skunky and no body is happy. It’s a tiresome process.

Let me do it for you.

Let me smell like skunk so you don’t have to. Trust me it’s worth it.

Deskunking is $100 service message me to book today.

This is blizzard♥️
Blizzard is a sweet bichon with a heart of gold. Here he’s had a chi bath a #2 clip on comb cut all over the body and a half inch clip comb on the head.
I’ve been grooming him for a very long time. I love this dog so much. When I groomed him at his home, I hadn’t seen him in awhile. But nonetheless he ran up to me at a galloping speed and jumped into my arms and gave me tons of wet puppy kisses (never mind being like 13 years old 😂)
Blizzard is very loving and does a very good job on the grooming table. Although he does give the dryer a piece of his mind, he has always been one of my most well behaved dogs. And the most loving. I get the best kisses and hugs from him!

I would love to meet your dog and post their picture here! Message me today and we’ll talk booking!
Live Long and Pawsper!

Say hello to Linus. ♥️oh my heart! Linus is a mini Australian shepherd (super mini 😂) who got a chi bath and blowout with a half inch guard comb and a blended head.
There are moments, since I started NerdyGroomer, that I have found joy again in what I do. This was definitely one of those moments. Linus was very sweet and very well behaved and brought me just about every stuffed toy he had before we started grooming. (The hot dog was my fave) he was affectionate and fun to groom!
Not only that but his family made me feel welcomed in their home. You’ll see in these pictures the most adorable keychain that the owners daughter made me while I was grooming. It’s a shrinky d**k with my logo on it and everything! It means a lot to me and I will treasure it always♥️she even said that she wanted to be a groomer when she grew up! You will do well , young padawan!!!
I will be posting pictures of dogs I groom with a brief story about them on this page, so enjoy-and maybe you’ll see your dog on here too! Message me to book and LIVE LONG AND PAWSPER!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
