ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!

🩷🌼🩷

Cat Grooming is coming to Good Golly!

I wanted to make sure Good Golly had everything we needed to give the kitties a relaxing, and more importantly safe, experience while they were with us. We have cat safe products, different drying options, the proper tools and restraints, and even different table height and surface options so each baby that comes in here can have the right grooming process for them. We even have a smaller private room for them to feel more secure during their groom.

One of the questions I have been asked the most since day one is if I groom cats! And the short answer is No! Thank you! BUT I have some very compassionate, talented, and educated cat groomers who are eager, sweet as pie, and sooo excited to groom some kitties. SO

CATURDAYS ARE COMING TO GOOD GOLLY 😻😻😻

One Saturday a month: NO Dogs Allowed🚫

Upcoming dates are:
October 3rd

We’ve lost so many dogs this year. This summer especially, it has felt like almost one every week. Each loss has hurt.

After 12 years of grooming, some of the puppies I met when I was a brand-new groomer have grown old alongside me. I know every inch of them. I can tell just by touch if something has changed between visits. My hands remember the feel of their coats, their ears, their paws. I notice a new lump or a swollen joint. I know who needs a little more support under their hips, who needs a slower dry, who has arthritis in their left leg but not their right, who has PTSD about ear cleaning or has to be sung to for their nail trim (looking at you Dolly), and who needs a break and a quiet minute to reset between steps.

Getting to know each dog as an individual is one of the parts of this work I love most. As they age, that history matters even more. When a dog loses some sight or hearing, the salon and our routine can still feel familiar. ("Oh no a monsoon!...wait that smell means bath. Not scary👍") Even through moments of confusion, I sometimes see them settle when they recognize where they are or who’s with them or even just what's happening to them ("oh right this is brushing! Not scary 👍")

That’s why I care so much about regular grooming with someone your dog knows. It doesn't have to be with us! (Although when it is we are so honored) There are soooo many great groomers in Lexington. But it should be the same person as long as you're comfortable with it. The dogs don’t have to love getting groomed. Plenty of my buds would rather be anywhere else! But knowing the place, the person, and what happens next can bring them comfort as they get older. ("Oh right it's just this place! Not as good as being at home...BUT not scary 👍") I earned my Senior Pet Care Specialist certification last spring because I wanted to do right by all my old friends, and all the dogs who will grow old with me. That often means their groom changes and gets less involved as they have less tolerance or stamina. But it's still familiar movements and a familiar routine.

I am so grateful and blessed to have known the babies I've lost this year. I’m afraid to list names because I couldn’t bear to leave anyone out. Please know that every dog we’ve lost is remembered here. I often find myself telling Michael, “Another one of my dogs passed.” That’s how they feel to me. I hate saying goodbye to them, and I’m so grateful I got to know them. I had a real relationship with them that was just for the two of us. A part of them is mine as much as a part of my heart is theirs.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your dogs, for letting me love them through all their ages and quirks, and for sharing their lives with me. They mean so much to us at Good Golly.

GUYS! Join me in celebrating Churchill.

He is on his second visit and JUMPED IN THE TUB all by himself. Our hearts are so proud of him (and our backs are so grateful.) Getting to see progress with the nervous babies is absolutely one of the most rewarding parts of this job.

Good job sweet boy!
