Kelly Keener Dog Grooming - Rome, GA

I got to do my first little puppy today! I didn’t think to ask how old she was - three or four months is my guess. She’s just overloaded with puppy cuteness!

This is one of my favorite before/after pictures yet from a job we did today at Cedartown Polk County Humane Society.

I am honored to have started a new grooming job at Classy Critters in Rome, GA. I’ve learned so much in the short period of time I’ve been there and I have terrific coworkers. All-in-all, it’s a great fit for me and I anticipate being there for quite a while.

The pictures are of a Yorkie that my wife and I volunteer groomed at the Cedartown Humane Society a few months ago. A friend of ours adopted her and she is so happy now!

I haven’t posted anything in a while because there hasn’t been anything particularly newsworthy. I’m working full-time as a Junior Groomer and building up experience. I’ve worked on 93 dogs to date. This sweet little girl was my 91st. She was the best dog I’ve ever groomed. We think she’ll likely be adopted in the next week or two. Volunteer work with shelter dogs is a good reminder of why I chose this as a career.

Great big THANK YOU to Kelly and Jennifer Keener of Kelly's Dog grooming. They came to shelter yesterday ( yes on Sunday ) to give a much needed groom to Henrietta. Her 'stache was so matted it could not be saved for the usual schnauzer face. She is still quite a beauty, and we are certain she feels lots better. Thank you again Kelly.

A few weeks ago, I asked my instructor, “what is a double coat? I don’t get it.” Now I get it. I wish I’d gotten after pictures of these two giant, fuzzy dogs, but the environment at my workplace is fast-paced. I just never think to get after pictures in the race against the clock.

We got to go visit the shelter doggy who we groomed on May 27th at her new home! She was adopted by a friend of ours. We definitely don’t have 100% success rates, but we’ve seen several of the shelter dogs we’ve worked with find homes - which is good reminder of why we’re doing what we’re doing.

We love Joanne and are praying that she finds her forever home soon.

I groomed my first shelter pup today to help her time in the shelter be as short as possible and to continue getting practice and experience at my craft. Thank you to my lovely wifey, Jennifer Floyd Keener for assisting and for taking some excellent pictures.

Jennifer and I got to run a petting zoo over Memorial Day weekend at Gwinnett County’s “Dream Asia” festival. It was a blast!
