Dogs are how people would be if only the important stuff mattered to usšŸ’—

I’m playing catch up!
Seriously though, it’s not fair dogs can go to the hair stylist and look five pounds lighter🤣

Vulnerability is something I have never really hid from my clients. Falling in love with other people’s dogs- it’s hard, man. Hearing concerns, seeing time take its toll, and actually seeing the decline/ inevitable over and over. There really aren’t words, it just sucks.
I’ve known Ginger the Golden and her brother Hero for more than half their lives now. They were daycare friends, so we have an extra special bond. It was a total accident breaking down and catching it while trying to show miss potato. It’s raw, unfiltered love. She’s okay, just really showing her double digitsšŸ¤
But, the point is, if you have a groomer and you’ve been seeing them your dogs entire life(or most of it), I promise you they’ve had moments like this.

I always tell them that even if we are lucky and get another 5-10 visits together, it still won’t be enough for me. Dogs are such amazing beings.

Random fact: around ten years ago when I was working at Petco, Peaches(the first lil lady) got loose and took off running across and down Stillwater. I remember not knowing her, but seeing her bolt and just dropped everything in my hands, darting after her. Managed to tackle her down the road and we’ve been buddies ever sincešŸ˜‚šŸ„°

What you see: Biscuit getting groomed.

What you don’t see: the numerous hours put into making sure he is comfortable and meeting him halfway. The tears cried when we had to stop a groom for both our safety. The happy tears cried when things started seeming less scary. The internal struggle of feeling like I don’t do a good groom on him sometimes. The back and forth with his AMAZING owners trying to find solutions for him to feel safe and comfortable.

Is he as perfect as I would like? No. He is however, safe. Loved. Maintained. Biscuit has made extreme strides with his anxiety surrounding our sessions and I am so, incredibly proud.
