Grooming With Emilly

Miss Koda came in for an express service today because the kennel is not her favorite place. She was an absolute sweetheart and I loved working with her!

Today I got to go to the NW Groom Show and was able to get into the Rescue Roundup Competition by the standby list. I got there earlier than everyone else and essentially waited to see if there would be those who didn't show up.

Jazzy was my partner up there. Her and I had never met before, she is from a rescue group. I pulled a random number that happened to be assigned to her. We didn't place unfortunately, but this was my very first ever competition and it was an absolute blast. I look forward to next year!

Chewy was such an amazing boy! He was not thrilled with standing for a couple more seconds for a picture 😂

Stepping back into grooming now that I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant is no easy feat, but it's a world I'm absolutely in love with.

After nearly a 6 month grooming hiatus, I am back to grooming and now also back at PetSmart!

Luna was one of my very first haircuts being back this week and I fell in love with her!

Ollie had a LOT of puppy energy, but him and I worked together through his matting and excited-ness to get to that gorgeous doodle-y face!

Louie came into the van so nervous, but left a confident and happy pup!

Tucker was the sweetest boy and definitely knows how handsome he is!

My boss and I worked on him together; she did the body and I did his face!!

I've learned so much this week already and I'm so excited for more!

Olive was such a sweet little energetic lady! She got a good pampering with her older sister, Opal!

I officially started with this week! This is a big change for me, but I am so excited to join the Wanderlust Mobile Team and learn some new tricks!

I went out of town a couple weeks ago and Ellie stayed with my parents. You can tell she had a blast, but was definitely sorry for getting so dirty 😂

Some big changes will be happening in the new year! I'll post all the info after Christmas!!

This sweet chubby kitty was an absolute doll to work with. She insisted that she lay in all her dirty hair as I shaved it off.

I love working with cats. They are a whole different ballgame than dogs and I love it ❤️

Obi Wan Kenobi is such a good boy 😍 He's a bit nervous, but a great partner on the table!

The last 6 months since coming to Oregon have been a wild ride, but in the recent weeks I'm realizing that I want to fall back in love with grooming again and I think one of those ways is to start sharing my work again!

I forgot to take a before picture of Patrick, but this was his first haircut! He was definitely super nervous but he did great!

Buddha was a TON of work, but so worth it for the end result. This week has been a week!

Donatello came in today to get a clean up! He was definitely overdue for a good bath and haircut!

This sweet boy came in last night for his first groom since he was at the shelter. Mom wasn't sure what she wanted, but trusted me to give him fluff and to make him feel great. The water that came off of him in the bath ran brown, and he was a lot more white underneath than I was expecting!

He had been previously matted when he was found, so he still has a couple of short spots here and there from where the shelter shaved, but he had a complete transformation.

This was a groom that I was already proud of and the moment Mom saw him she was speechless. It was a moment I will never forget and helped me feel more sure that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Baxter was the best old man ever! He has no teeth and still tried to bite for brushing, but he's such a sweetheart.

10 blade sch cut with a sch face!
