🐾🤠 **A LITTLE DROVER’S RIDGE REAL TALK…** 🤠🐾
Around here, we’ve got a pretty steady stream of furry visitors, four-legged outlaws, muddy paws, wagging tails, happy faces, and enough fur to probably build a whole new flock of sheep! 😂
And honestly… we wouldn’t have it any other way.❤️
We just want to take a minute to say **THANK YOU** to all of our amazing clients who continue to trust us with your beloved fur babies. Whether they come in for a little pampering, a boarding stay, daycare, training, or just to visit and remind us that apparently treats are a basic human right… 😂🐶
We appreciate every single one of you more than you know!
Now for a little behind-the-scenes ranch report… 🤠
Most days, it’s just me in the saddle! I’m grooming, caring for furry guests, answering messages, putting clients on the schedule, keeping the shop going, stocking shelves, cleaning up after the occasional four-legged crime scene 😂, and trying to keep all the wheels on the wagon.
And when my family isn't busy with school, work, and their own lives, they jump in and help me keep this crazy little operation moving.
So if you message us and don't hear back immediately, please don't assume you've been thrown off the wagon!😂
📱 **TEXT or EMAIL is the best way to reach me.**
Sometimes your message may have to wait while I'm covered in dog hair, standing in a grooming tub, holding a squirmy customer, chasing a runaway thought… or possibly chasing an actual slippery dog around the shop or heck even my kids sports schedules. 😂
There may be a little delay in getting back to you, but I promise I haven't forgotten you! I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Your patience and understanding mean SO much to us. We are a small, local, family-run business, and we're doing our best to take care of every animal and every client who comes through our doors.
We may not always run like a big fancy outfit with a whole office full of receptionists and people answering phones 24/7… but what we do have is a whole lot of heart, a family willing to pitch in, and a genuine love for what we do. ❤️
So thank you for supporting our crazy little corner of the Black Hills. Thank you for trusting us with your babies. Thank you for your patience when life gets a little western around here. 🤠
We may be running on sweet tea, dog hair, prayer, and a prayer for more sweet tea… but we sure are blessed! 😂☕🐾
Welcome to Drover’s Ridge — where the customers have four legs, the employees occasionally have two, and the whole operation is held together with love, grit, and a little bit of cowboy ingenuity. ❤️🤠
ENJOY THESE PICTURES FROM AROUND HERE. We also got to give horse drawn Wagon rides at the Black Granite Retreat and at the Crowley Wagon Train!
