A new grooming business in Middleport! We are blessed with many wonderful groomers in Athens, but if you need in soon, she’s got openings and is looking to build her clientele!

As these days get crispier, I’m reminded that the holidays are right around the corner! (They are, I checked!! Wow time flies!) 🎄

If you plan to travel during thanksgiving or Christmas, please get your reservations scheduled as soon as possible. There’s a 3 day minimum for booking over either holiday, and we will be completely FULL! 🐶

We love your dogs and want to make sure everyone who needs in can get in! Feel free to send a fb message or call the kennel 740-592-3651 to secure your spot! 🐾

As always, make sure all shots are current (rabies, 7way and bordatella) so there’s no delay when scheduling. ✨

I get asked all the time, “why are you only open for 15 minutes at a time?” Or “why aren’t you there with the dogs playing all day?”
Let me tell you, we play. We party!! But we also understand how stressful boarding is, and that dogs cannot spend hours tacked-up when their bodies need to rest. After every kennel has gone potty, and been fed, it’s quiet time. The dogs quiet down and take a nap and this is essential to keep dogs healthy while they’re in our care. So please respect our drop off and pickup times. It’s ok for them to bark and get excited! They know mom and dad are coming home! There are 22 dogs in this video, and no one even bothered to look up til they saw me coming.
“How do you do it?!” (The barking at drop off time) Is another frequent question, and this….this is how!! We love your babies and want them to be as comfortable as they can while they’re in our care 💕

Our sweet Smidgin is still looking for her people! If you’re ready to foster or adopt an awesome dog for your family, consider Smidge!! She’s a light in this dark world for sure ☀️

The last busy weekend before kiddos start back to school, and we’re paddling into the kennel like a Viking clan on a warship 🤣 Be safe out there, everyone! We’re at the mercy of Mother Nature but come hell, or HIGH WATER, the dogs will be safe and loved on the Ridge! At least all the p**p should float away 🤣🙏🏻 Praying for all those affected this week. It has been so bad 💔
