Thankful for the heart and leadership of MMK9

Yesterday, while enjoying the local Christmas parade with our daughter, my husband did something so typical Chris and not surprising at all 💕 Someone shared an anonymous post about his small act of kindness in our local fb group and it just reminded me of the incredible heart he has — not only for our family but for everyone around him.

I don’t want to embarrass him (too much!), but I had to share because moments like this reflect the type of person he is. Whether he’s helping dogs live their best lives or quietly doing something kind for a stranger, he’s always thinking of how he can make things better for someone else. I’m grateful to have him as my partner in life and in our dog training and grooming community. If you’re apart of our little dog family, you’ve likely seen this compassion in action too.

Thank you to the person who shared this story — it’s a reminder to us all that even the smallest gestures can mean so much. Let’s all continue to spread kindness this holiday season!! 🎄🐾

Check the poo

Happy Monday! Let’s Talk About P**p! 💩

It’s Monday, and we all got s**t to do (pun fully intended), but let’s not forget one *essential* task—keeping an eye on your dog’s p**p! 💩🐕 Before you start making that face, checking your dog’s p**p is one of the easiest ways to monitor their health. Here's why your dog’s business is YOUR business and what exactly you should be looking for:

1️⃣ Consistency: Firm, not too hard, not too soft—kind of like a perfect brownie… but not the kind you want to eat (hopefully)🍫
2️⃣ Color: Normal p**p should be chocolate brown. Anything from green to yellow might mean your pup’s tummy isn’t happy. Tip: If your dog's tummy isn't feeling well, feed them some cooked rice with chicken broth and boiled chicken.
3️⃣ Timing: Regular bowel movements are key. If your dog’s schedule changes (going too often or not enough), or they're going too long between bowel movements, it could be a sign of blockage, stress, or a change in diet.
4️⃣ Extras: Mucus, worms, or blood—yeah, no thanks! If you see any of these, it's definitely time for a check-in with the vet.

Why It Matters: Your dog’s p**p can give you clues about their diet, digestion, and overall health. Keeping an eye on it can help you catch any issues before they become a *big stink*! 💩🚨

While we spend time with your dogs, we'll always take a second to check your dog’s “business” during their stay and we encourage owners to monitor their pups bowel movements while at home. Trust us—your pup’s p**p has more to say than you might think! 🐾

RIP to the squirrel that thought it would be a good idea to make a nest inside our backyard tree.

Can someone confirm for me that dobermans CAN NOT climb trees. 

Happy National Pet Day 🤣
