Thank you all so much for being understanding and patient with cancellations and rescheduling over the last few weeks. It’s been a lot with some family things plus graduation.

21/05/2024

My schedule will change as of 5/26/24. I will still have appointments about every other Saturday. I will not have any weeknight appointments until mid June. (I will reach out soon to everyone I already have scheduled.) I will be celebrating my oldest’s high school graduation.

Interesting information about Smart Outlets

PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season! Take some time to enjoy being with those that mean the most to you. Starting in January, I will be changing my weeknight for nail appointments to Tuesday for a few months.

Have you heard about the mystery dog respiratory illness? Veterinarians are recommending that you minimize your dog’s contact with other dogs. This means:

• Avoid dog parks.
• Avoid using doggy daycare or boarding.
• Avoid grooming shops.
• Avoid water bowls used by other dogs.
• Use walkers or sitters who will take your dog solo.
• Make sure your dog is fully vaccinated, especially against kennel cough.
• Make sure your dog is in good general health (this includes a good diet).
• Ask your veterinarian which vaccinations your dog should have.

If your dog shows any signs of respiratory issues, please contact your vet immediately and isolate your dog from other animals.

I’m currently booking into mid-December. I don’t have a schedule for January as of yet (I may have to change my weeknight to a different night). Send me a message to get scheduled! 🎄

I think I’ve shared this before, but it’s worth sharing again. Avoid rawhide treats like this. I’ve personally seen many dogs become very ill from swallowing whole as well as getting pancreatitis.

I always try my very best to be at your house at the time of our appointment, but sometimes that just isn’t possible. Some trims take a little longer, especially if the pet is nervous. Sometimes traffic is bad due to construction or wrecks. If I am running late and you have other places to be, let me know. It’s never a problem to reschedule. I so greatly appreciate all of you and how understanding you are if I’m a bit behind. ❤️❤️❤️

This is how Mittens feels about the cold weather this morning. 🤣🥶

I’m loving this (slightly) cooler weather! I’m so ready for Fall! Saturday appointments are starting a little later in the day for the next couple of months and the weeknight may vary some depending on practice schedules. 🍁🍂

23/07/2023

I will be unavailable for appointments from August 15 through August 27. Message me if you will need a trim before mid-August. 🌞

Half the calls to Veterinary offices on Wednesday will be about missing pets. Be sure everyone is safe and secure. (Out in a fenced back yard is not safe and secure- panic can cause escapes.)

A little PSA for the 4th.

15/06/2023

Please check ingredients

Fyi dog owners!! Important information

12/06/2023

Please make sure all meds are filled ahead of time. Vets get dozens of calls about missing pets when they open July 5. Keep everyone safely inside well before fireworks start.

Now that I am officially done with college, I will resume normal appointments. They will still be mostly on Thursday evening and Saturday mornings. I’m planning to start sending reminders like have done previously. I am in the process of replying to those that messaged me in the last week or so to get appointments set up. 🐾

This is Purrie. She has been helping me with my homework while I’ve been working on my Bachelor’s. Since we have a lot to do over the next 2-3 week, I am not taking any additional appointments until school is out! I’ll return all messages after 5/7.

I’ve almost made it through the craziest time of year! My little one is almost done with her meet season and just a couple week until my older one’s production of “Wizard of Oz”. Then I will be finishing up with school in May. I truly appreciate you all being flexible with my availability. Hopefully things will settle down a bit by summer 🤣
That being said- I am fully booked until March 23. Feel free to message me to book an appointment. I will be responding after 3/7 as we are traveling this week for gymnastics.

12/02/2023

The Wizard of Oz tickets are now live!! The show is March 16th , March 17th and March 18th @2 and 7 PM!! Secure your tickets now!!

I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday. January means the start of Gymnastics Meet season for my younger daughter so Saturdays (especially in February) may be spent watching my favorite gymnast! Once we get final schedules, I will know more. In the meantime, trims will still be mainly Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. 🐾

18/12/2022

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! I’m not doing any appointments from 12/23/22-1/2/23. Have a very happy and safe new year!

I don’t generally post a lot of personal stuff on this page. Hailey was a friend of my younger daughter and was just a wonderful, delightful person. Her friends and family are having a hard time coming to terms with her loss. If you are able and feel led to, please consider contributing to her family. If not, please pray for peace and understanding for them.

On November 19, 2022, Hailey Brooks was tragically lost at the Raleigh Christmas Parade. This loss has cau… Erika Parker needs your support for Hailey Brooks

If you have a groomer or pet sitter that you love, please mention them here. A lot of you ask me for recommendations.
Thanks!!
