Everyone has heard me talk about how I get the sassy ones. The ones who've had some sort of trauma that has made them hate grooming. Well this boy, after 2 years of working with him, allowed me to brush and dry his face!! May seem like no big deal but this is HUGE! Copper has never allowed his face to be dried without going after the dryer, the hand holding it, or jumping up and down causing himself to choke. Not only was his face an issue, but his legs, paws, nails, and butt have always been major ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH areas. The butt he's let slide for a bit now. His paws and nails... 6 weeks ago was the first time he let me do them without trying to bite me or even a growl. When I say bite... I am meaning this boy was out to eat my soul!! When he allowed me to do his nails with zero reaction... I stopped right there and took him back in the house. That was so amazing that I wanted to end the groom on a positive note. Today, I was able to dry and brush his face, shave his paw pads, do his sanitary and his back nails with NOOOOO reaction! I only got a little growl for his front nails. Oh and kisses!!! I got KISSES!!! I finally broke through that trauma and sassy side 💜 I can not even explain how absolutely proud I am of this boy!!!

On my birthday in January of 2023, I received a message that I had to reply to. There was this boy who had seizures. But the only times he did have them, were at the vets office and the groomers. He was getting older, mom was concerned, and she reached out thinking maybe mobile would work best for him. I wasn't taking new clients but I had to get this guy in. I even went outside my normal area to see him. Little did I know, he was going to steal my heart ❤️. In the year and a half I groomed Hunter, he had 2 seizures. Both were at the vet office. He was always soooo excited to see me and I could barely get out of the truck before he was eagerly dancing around waiting for me to love on him. He loved the trailer, he enjoyed his groom, he loved me, and I loved him. I swear that boy would jump in my truck and go home with me at any point.
Today I received a text from his mom. One I never imagined would come so soon. Hunter had crossed the Rainbow Bridge 🌈 My heart broke. He was the happiest, energetic, most playful boy. It was hard to believe he was a senior baby.
I've said it before... there's just those special ones that steal your heart ❤️ I love all of my clients and have a bond with each of them. But there's the extra special ones who just touch my soul and we share that unconditional love for each other. Hunter will be greatly missed but thankfully, I'll get to continue seeing his sisters and give them all the extra love I can 💜
I love all my Fur-Ever Friends. But there's always those special ones, the ones who steal my heart immediately. Rex was one of them. When his mom contacted me, she let me know he had a lot of trauma surrounding his nails and that he gets spicey about it. It had been a long time since he'd had them done due to how he reacted during the process. Anyone who knows me, knows the dogs who can be reactive in any way are always my favorites. I love working with them and helping them learn to trust me so we can do what is needed. Once I'm able to form that bond and trust, that is the best feeling in the world. Rex was definitely spicey over his nails but boy did he LOVE his bath and drying! We quickly formed a bond and he forever had a special place in my heart ❤️
When mom found out he didn't have much time left, I was worried I wouldn't get to say goodbye. So I went and picked up special treats so I could visit him while I was taking some time off. The excitement he had that day was incredible! Luckily, we were able to see him for one last groom. We spent far more time loving on him and giving him treats than we did grooming that day and I'm so glad that we did 💜
Until we meet again across the Rainbow Bridge Rex 🌈💜🩵🩷
