I cannot access any of my email accounts because they are linked to my phone number - but my phone was stolen.

If you need to reach me, my new email address is:

Dexter and WeMe are ok. I had to relinquish ownership because there was no way I could take care of them while in prison. Now that I'm homeless and unemployed, it really is the best thing for them. If I love them, I have to let them go.

They're probably going to be adopted by a nice family here in a nice, comfortable home. I'm fu***ng jealous if I'm being completely honest. Those lucky sons of bi***es!!! It's cold AF out here on the streets of Juneau!!! LOL

In the past month, I've been attacked by people who live in Lemon Creek, bear sprayed in my face, beaten and robbed. I just got out of jail this week - I spent 13 days in isolation, and a total of 3 weeks in jail.

Someone took my wallet and went on a shopping spree so now I'm extremely negative in my bank account, and I have to go through a whole process with the fraud department.

My keys to my truck are with someone, and all I'm asking is if you have my wallet, or my truck keys (2014 Nissan Frontier - which is now in the impound lot), could you please drop it off at the police station?

Because I no longer have my ID's or my phone (it also has been stolen), I can't get into my email account and I have to use the public library to access my Facebook account.

I'll try my best to check this account once a day or every other day.

I know that this is not a reflection on the people or the culture here. I just ran into a few bad apples. I'm not angry or upset. I understand. There are so many good people here. I've met them. Just stay away from Lemon Creek at night. It's not safe.

I'm no longer making videos because I'm retired. But the vanity in me loves and craves the validation I get from strangers. So I look up older videos and rehash them in order to get the little attention I still find myself craving.

But this person is different. This person has dedicated their life to helping pet owners take better care of their pets at home.

But when she realized she had to help more than just the pet owners in her community, she looked for people who were doing it to show her clients. When she found no, I mean absolutely no helpful videos (this was before the "helpful groomer" trend got popular. This was when groomers were getting attacked for sharing information on YouTube. That's why there were none.) She decided to make her own.

Because she was limited only to the people who live in her community, she found a way to create a virtual community of her own. Where she tirelessly works to keep the content and the community helpful, encouraging and positive. There are a few bad apples, but what can you do. That's why she works so hard, and so long everyday to try to prune them out.

This is on top of running her own business... And being a wife... And a mother... To multiple children... And a dog mom... And they both like to give her lots of grief after a long, hard day 🤣🤣🤣 You she should see her Shorts and her Stories!!! 😂😂☠️

I hesitate to call her a friend because I am aware of my God awful reputation. I don't want her associated with me. Just go watch her videos. Even if you don't own a dog, I bet you $5 you will laugh and have a good time!

(I'm only betting $5 bc there are haters who will never laugh at anything, so this much I can afford.)

I'm retired. I realize all the groomers are right. If everyone disagrees, maybe everyone isn't the problem. Maybe the problem is me. I want dog grooming to be a licensed profession, but if I'm the only one that wants that - that must mean I'm wrong.

I'm only going to groom my own dogs from now on... and one client. They know who they are 🤗

Guys, guys... I know we're dealing with a lot of big s**t right now.

But don't let any of this distract you from the fact that Cracker Barrel fired Brad's wife on his birthday after 11 years of loyal service for unknown reasons.

My kindness is reserved for the people I like.

If you've done nothing to earn my kindness, do not demand it from me.

Something I'm hearing a lot lately, that none of the groomers that teach at the tradeshows are rich, or even making that much money.

So you sold out, and you're not getting paid well? And you're still defending the establishment that used you? They literally don't care about you. The moment a more promising, younger groomer comes along guess what? You're done. And you're mad at me for calling this out?

Stockholm syndrome at it's finest.

Hater: Jun the Groomer I’m not I actually really liked a lot of your stuff, especially when you worked at Petclub back in the day here. I remember when you were new too. 🫶
Have no problem with somebody having a different opinion. In fact, some of the things you say are absolutely true.
But, it also sounds like a person who doesn’t know what it’s like to background check people for this. Sounds like a person who’s never come up with a creative program. Ran a large pet business. I’ve taken all those programs that you’ve mentioned, and those aren’t gonna make you a better groomer. 🫶 in fact, one of them is a glorified shampoo sales program.☮️

Me: maybe not a better groomer. But at least a knowledgeable one. One that knows what not to do.

I'm talking about moving the industry forward, raising standards, and having a vetting process in place so people can no longer just open a grooming shop with no formal training or education.

Thank you, Nicole Montalto for clarifying the situation for me. I can see why the judge made the decision in favor of the dog's owner. The groom should have never even started because the owners didn't complete the waiver, and never signed it. Afterwards, the groomer was unresponsive.

That really does prove my point that we desperately need standard operating procedures (SOP), and we need to educate groomers on the SOP's. A professional dog groomer must also know the basic anatomy of the skin and coat, and be knowledgeable about proper sanitation in order to prevent cross contamination.

If this was standard across the board, I can see this situation being avoided in the future. Like Nicole Montalto told me, when the waiver was not completely filled out, the service should've never began.

This industry has not moved forward in the past 30 years... Nothing's really changed for the better. If anything things are getting exponentially worse!!! Instead of thinking of positive changes, the people in charge are doing everything they can to keep things the way they are. Because there's too much money being made by a certain few; therefore, too much money to be lost. So they block any efforts to get licensing approved in legislature. In my opinion. I hope I'm wrong.

I never said I was a nice guy. I think I made it pretty clear over the years that I'm not.

What's all the shock about? Get the f**k outta here! I'm not a collector of followers.

Don't kid yourself, fellow groomers. That groomer that got sued and lost for helping that matted doodle, that could've been any one of us.

We need regulation. We need licences, and record logs. To protect ourselves!!! The company running everything, the leaders you look up to - they just want your money. I promise that's the truth. They only see you as dollar signs for them to benefit off of your hard work.

We need to form a community of professional groomers in each state and communicate with each other. This is the only way we're going to be able to protect ourselves and each other. Strength in numbers.

Stop allowing yourselves to be distracted by the shiny lights and the promise of a little fame. None of that matters. We need to make sure the generation that follows us, when they look back at all we've done, we want them to say that we were faithful to the cause.
