Starting in April of 2023, with the help of Big Jake's Dog Treats, we have donated pounds and pounds of treats to Animal Protective League and Sangamon County Animal Control & Adoption Center. The first couple of years I chose to do the donations 3 times a yr, close to big holidays. This year, Big Jakes will prepare their yummy treats for us to donate 4 times, once every quarter! Today was the first delivery of the year, hand delivered by Natalie and her littles as usual! The shelter babies always love seeing them and of course receiving the special treats they hand out while they are there. 😊

I often have clients give me items to donate while I'm visiting Fur-Ever Friends. This is always welcomed and one of us will gladly drop off whatever donations we receive as they come in. Along with the treat delivery today, we had some canned cat food and potty pads that were also dropped off!

I have an amazing family who volunteer their time and their home to dogs from Animal Protective League. Since the very first visit to their personal dog, I've had a pleasure of meeting a few of their fosters. But this girl here, Miss Angel, I've been truly blessed to have enjoyed spending time with her for nearly a year. At my last visit, the family told me she wasn't doing well and we may not have much time left to love and spoil her. I spent more time just loving on her than anything that visit. Yesterday, just 3 weeks later, this sweet baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🌈

Angel loved her Spaw days with me and I loved spoiling her! The first groom, we were all worried about how she'd handle it. We thought she may he nervous but boy were we wrong! She LOVED EVERYTHING! The drying and brushing were probably Angel's favorite parts. I'd have a tennis ball for her and often times, she'd chew on it and bat it around while getting dried and brushed out. She enjoyed drying herself on towels or rugs and was more than ready to pose for the camera when I would put her pretties on 🥰

My heart broke not only for her passing but for my clients who loved her dearly and welcomed her into their family so she could live her best life to her final day.

Losing a Fur-Ever Friend is never easy but having the memories each and everyone have given us is priceless 💜 the love and bond I have with all the babies I have the pleasure of seeing is immeasurable. My heart always hurts with every loss but there's those extra special ones that hurt a little more, bring on more tears, but have also given me some of the best memories. Those memories are forever a reminder why I do what I do 🩷

After 3 years of working nearly every day, running into countless issues, ending days in tears thinking maybe I should give up, then waking up the next day knowing I could never quit on my clients, myself, or my dreams...

Well THIS is the result. All the passion, patience, and hard work I've put into keeping my Fur-Ever Friends pampered and loved paid off today 💜

Hayleigh, who has been with me for just over 2 yrs, went with me to pick up my 2025 Mercedes Sprinter customized by Wagn'Tails! Hayleigh is my sanity, my memory, and my right hand! She has come so far herself and I can't wait to see where we go from here ☺️

Thank you all for the continued support and love you show me! I appreciate each and every one of you 💜 I can't wait to visit everyone with the new rig!

Hey Fur-Ever Friends! This will be another one of my long, sentimental posts but just wait for the ending! 😏

January of 2022, I started my business with the intent on being solely mobile. I wanted to be able to provide personalized care and services to the clients who couldnt go to a salon for one reason or another. Those "special" ones who are just not a good fit for a salon setting, the ones with owners who are unable to get their doggos to and from, etc. So I got my first trailer in July of that year from what was said to be a "reputable company" that had good reviews from other mobile groomers. Not even 3 months later, I had to purchase a 2nd trailer after the first one completely fell apart. 🥴 The 2nd trailer has given me a ton of problems as well. At least 5+ days each month, I've had to do some major repair while rescheduling a full days worth of clients. I have worked 6-7 days a week, month after month to ensure I can get to all my clients while continuously repairing each issue that has come up with the trucks and trailers. Well... all the trials and tribulations that lead to all the time and hard work I've put in for the last 3 yrs has FINALLY paid off! I received the phone call today that I was approved for the mobile grooming van I have dreamt about since I decided to start my business!!! In roughly 3 weeks time, I will be going to pick up my brand new, Mercedes sprinter van fully customized by Wagn' Tails! 😍 This van will allow me to stay on the road more regularly, have less issues in the heat and cold, plus provide even more of a comfortable setting for all my Fur-Ever Friends! I'll be making some adjustments to the schedule in order to pick up the van and get it set up and ready to hit the road.

I can't thank each and every one of my amazing and loyal clients for sticking with me through all the issues and making this all possible! I appreciate you all and have so much love for my Fur-Ever Friends! I'm so excited for this next chapter of Fur-Ever Friends Mobile Grooming!

Lola is now accepting applications!

2 yr
Female
Brussels Griffon

Lola is ready for her forever and she requests to have a lady as her BFF. She is choosy about men and mostly could do without them. She lived in a puppy mill and suspect her dislike for men stems from her time there. She follows foster mom around and is just hungry for love and attention. She loves cuddles and how told how special she is (and she is). She is ok with older children but she mostly just ignores everyone but her BFF. She is good with other dogs and will require a secure physical fenced yard.

We have some bitter cold weather ahead of us this week. Due to that, I may have to move appts around to ensure the safety of the pets, myself, and my team. I will let everyone know if your appts will be affected! I apologize for any inconvenience and I assure you I'll get to all my Fur-Ever Friends as quickly as possible!
Sneak peak of our St Patty's day fun because who can resist these adorable faces!

Today has definitely been a wonderful, love filled day 💜 the day started off at Mockingbird Bakery for coffee with none other than Big Jake and his mom, Becky of Big Jake's Dog Treats. It was a much needed, overdue visit with a bonus pick-up of princess's gotcha day/birthday cake! 2 yrs ago today, Princess randomly showed up at my house and as I was coming out of my Grooming trailer, she just jumped in like she belonged here! I had some appts of my own today which meant the doggos got to visit with some of their favorite people, Natalie and her littles! I arrived home to a counter full of gifts for the babies and I. Wasn't me over here crying over roses from all the babies including the 3 that crossed the Rainbow Bridge last yr 😭. The babies all got to enjoy princess's cake and of course LOVED it! Even their 2 visitors for the weekend enjoyed our little valentines and gotcha day pawty!

I hope everyone had a great, love filled day!

Sending all the love from my FUR-EVER FRIENDS to yours!

We have had another fun filled day loving on our Fur-Ever Friends, making them look, feel, and smell amazing! Most of them enjoy the fun as much as we do! Others are less amused than we are but will gladly play along when there's Big Jake's Dog Treats on hand 🤣
