Meet Jorge!!!!! What a gorgeous boy! A nice short and tight groom was requested and after Jorge’s nails were clipped and filed, ears cleaned out, teeth brushed, he was looking mighty fine! Good boy, Jorge, see you in 8 weeks! 💙

Lots of new furbabies coming to see me lately….I love them!!!!! Meet Cassius, Cass for short! He is a mini goldendoodle with the most beautiful coloring and coat. I can already feel that wiry adult coat coming in which definitely helps when it comes to matting. The quicker that fuzzy puppy coat is removed, the healthier Cass’ adult coat will be! Excess hair was removed from inside his ears and from the underneath of his feet in between his pads, stopping him bringing in mud and dirt when the bad weather comes! He did so well and we can now see his beautiful kind eyes! Well done, Cass! 💙

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.” Laurence Binyan

And here we are again, scum of the earth heartless human beings who dumped four terrier mixes under a covered bridge to be rescued by an Angel of a passer by and now in the very safe and caring hands of Preble County Humane Society. These two sweeties were the worse matted of the four and had their spa day with me today where I removed all the matting, gave them both a luxurious conditioning bath and then finished them up with a warm blow dry and a spritz of cologne just so they can feel loved hopefully not for the last time in their futures to come!

These little girls along with two little boys are up for adoption, if interested please call the the Humane Society of Preble County 937 456 7387 for more details. I’m sure with their sweet and gentle disposition, these poor babies will have no trouble finding their furever homes! 💜🐾💕💙

Sweet Earnest! Just recently adopted, he had now got a lovely new mom, a lovely new home and a lovely new life, what a lucky boy he is! He was a little timid at first but as you can tell from his “after” pictures, there was a very brave and confident boy in there! Good boy, Earnest! 💙🐾

This dog is NOT a rescue. This dog was owned by someone that gave it away. This dog is the nicest dog of any kind that I have done in a long time. I hate breeders that sell puppies like this type of dog that advertise as “hypoallergenic’ and “nonshedding” I hate irresponsible selfish owners that pay an absolute fortune to breeders of this type of dog for a puppy and then lose all interest in maintaining this “hypoallergenic” and “nonshedding” dog and end up passing it on to anyone that wants it or maybe to people who actually shouldn’t own it. For every responsible “doodle” mix owner, there are 10 bad ones, believe you me. I’m sick of it….

I shaved this dog out of its body cast on my day off today because I felt so sorry for this “designer” dog. It took me 3 hours just to release the matted coat. Thank God I am blessed with the time, energy, the finances, the tools and the knowledge to be able to do this for this wonderful dog and his new owner…..

For all that Stevie is totally blind and has never been to me before to be groomed, what a darling sweetheart he was. He wasn’t one bit of trouble throughout the groom and he turned back into the handsome Prince for his Mom, Nancy who has had a few health issues lately, hence he was overdue for his spa day but here he is! Mom arrived with delicious homemade for me and Bill so alls well around here! Thank you also Bill and Jenny Puckett for looking out for their neighbor, Nancy and arranging Stevie’s visit with me! 💙🐾🐶

Sharing from a fellow groomer’s page~

Next time you are booking a grooming appointment for your dog and the groomer is booked out, whether it be 2 to 3 week or 2 to 3 months, I want you to remember a few things:

~Groomers put up with a lot.
~We are overworked.
~We are generally and genuinely underappreciated.
~We push our bodies to the brink.
~Our work is intensive and laborsome.
~We can only groom so many dogs in a day.
~We are artists with a special skill that not everyone has.
~A lack of prior planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part.
~It is hair. It grows back.
~Grooming is expensive. We already know it costs more than your haircut. You do not get your entire body shaved and you certainly do not p**p on your hairdresser or bite them.
~There will never be enough groomers to keep up with the amount of dogs needing services in this country.
~If you treat your groomer poorly, they can and will fire you as a client. 💯
~We treat your dogs like our own and love your dogs like our own.
~We cannot ever promise you that nothing bad will ever happen. That isn't a promise we can keep. But we CAN promise to always handle any situation that arises appropriately and quickly.
~This career takes an immense level of passion and compassion.
~Grooming is a fulfilling and wonderful career full of beautiful moments.

Most importantly, I want to remind you that you can be the bright spot in that groomers day. YOU can be the difference between them being accused of being an awful person and being the person to make them smile. Please be kind. Your groomer is doing the very best that they can every minute of every day.

Another huge loss to everyone who was privileged to know her, Sheba crossed over that rainbow bridge yesterday to run pain free and happy. A groomer’s work experience is like no other in that we spend many hours alone with dogs without their owners being present, we are able to do things like clip nails and clean teeth that their owners cannot do as the dog won’t let them, we have a very special relationship with these dogs in order to keep them in the condition they humanely deserve and all of this is possible week in week out because of dogs like Sheba. She loved to get on my table and gaze into my eyes with her huge brown ones and would follow my every command, often performing what I was going to ask seconds before I actually asked her.

Another one of my “one in a million” dogs, there will be no other like her.

Wait for me up there, Sheba and keep on wagging that tail, I love you 💜

Boxers have them. So do Greyhounds, Black and Tan Coonhounds and Bloodhounds. The Japanese Akita has them too, and its breed standard calls for them: “Feet [that] are cat-like, thickly padded, round, well-knuckled and tight with a firm grip.”

Well-knuckled feet?

What on earth does that mean? The simplistic answer is that in a dog, it’s a foot that is the opposite of “flat footed.” The longer answer is that when the joints of the toes between the first and second, and the second and third bones (called phalange bones) are formed correctly, there’s a “bump,” or more properly, a protuberance that results in high, or well arched toes (as seen in the picture). It's evidence of good angulation in those phalanges (nearly 90 degrees).

Feet move a dog, of course, but they are also essentially “shock absorbers.” During movement (as the weight of the dog shifts forward), the ball of her foot becomes a fulcrum and her pasterns and toes become a lever. Poorly knuckled toes (or flat feet) lessen the angle of the fulcrum resulting in less lift. Flat feet will impact the dog’s efficiency and reduce her stamina. Feet matter!

Meet Sam! My clients have just given Sam a wonderful furever home which makes him a lucky boy indeed! He has one blue and one brown eye so the explanation below might give us some idea what kind of mix he is!

Many dogs have brown eyes (or golden- or amber-colored eyes, which are a variation of brown). Some dogs have blue eyes, and some dogs even have two different-colored eyes, sometimes referred to as “odd eyes.” This hauntingly beautiful phenomenon, called heterochromia, can also occur in cats and even people. Heterochromia in dogs is common in breeds like Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Dalmatians, Great Danes (harlequin coat pattern), Shetland Sheepdogs, Siberian Huskies and Shih Tzus.

Meet Shylock! The Biewer Terrier is a rare purebred dog created through the occurrence of a recessive piebald gene in two Yorkshire Terriers. He was a complete sweetie pie and did so well for his first groom with me! How handsome does this sweet boy look now? 💙🐾💙🐾

If there was ever a dog that would actually make me feel so blessed and humbled that I do what I do, it was Moose. Always the dog to help me in any way he could by turning around in the tub or table for me, and then after his spa day laying down beside me waiting for the love of his life and his person, Ginny to collect him as I worked on other dogs; i never ever had any reason to cage him. I will miss you, sweet boy. One in a million 💙 Rest easy, Moose 💔💔 💔

Of the twelve confirmed dogs on the Titanic, only three survived the sinking, all of which were small dogs: Two Pomeranian and one Pekingese, hidden inside a blanket or coat and carried into the limited space on lifeboats.

The Pomeranian named Lady was bought by Miss Margaret Hays while in Paris. She shared the cabin with and was wrapped in a blanket by Miss Hays when the order was given to evacuate.

The Rothschilds, Martin and Elizabeth, owned the second surviving Pomeranian. The Pekingese, named Sun Yat-Sen, was brought aboard by the Harpers of the New York publishing firm, Harper & Row.

Margaret Hays' Pomeranian got away safely in Lifeboat 7 and lived until June 1917 when it ran away or was stolen, while Elizabeth Rothschild refused to board Lifeboat 6 unless her dog was allowed to come too.

Henry and Myra Harper brought their Pekingese aboard Lifeboat 3, but Helen Bishop had to abandon Frou-Frou in her cabin, much to their mutual distress. The dog attempted to stop her leaving by holding on to her dress with his teeth until the seam tore. Afterwards, Bishop spoke of her sorrow: "The loss of my little dog hurt me very much. I will never forget how he dragged on my clothes. He so wanted to accompany me.”

With the order for women and children first into the lifeboats, plus the knowledge that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone on board the Titanic to be saved, it's surprising dogs made it into the lifeboats at all.

A poignant story tells of Ann Isham, 50, refused to enter a lifeboat without her Great Dane. Two days after the Titanic sank, passengers on the German liner Bremen spotted a woman floating in her life jacket with her arms wrapped around a large dog. Encyclopedia Titanica however states that there is no evidence to support this.

Only first class passengers were permitted to bring dogs on board the ship: Helen Bishop and her Toy Poodle named Frou-Frou; millionaire John Jacob Astor and his Airedale named Kitty; Robert Daniel and his French Bulldog, Gamin de Pycombe. William Carter and his family brought along two dogs—a King Charles Spaniel and an Airedale. Harry Anderson was joined by his Chow-Chow (aptly named Chow-Chow), and many other four-legged passengers who remain unknown, including a Fox Terrier named simply, Dog.

In a fortunate turn of events, one passenger, Charles Moore of Washington, DC, had planned to transport up to 100 English Foxhounds via the Titanic, but made arrangements on a different vessel at the last minute. Two other dogs avoided disaster when they disembarked with their owners at Cherbourg, the ship’s first stop after leaving Southampton.

Here, Captain Edward John Smith poses with Ben, his Russian Wolfhound, a gift from his daughter, Helen. Ben spent one night on the ship before he left the dock and was returned home.
