Kristen's Dog Grooming

Had to combine the last two days of pictures... I'm finding it hard to make the time to put them up at the end of the day. Might get more combo days coming up, until the spring yard work is over anyway ... And it's not even begun... As much as I look forward to spring, it sure is a lot of work isn't it?! I'll take it over snow

Saturday's crew! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Well, these are the only two I could get a picture of today! The rest were soooo not having it!

This memory popped up from two years ago. My girl Halzi is just Sooooo not normal Thought I'd share it with you guys and spread the cheer lol. She does this every day, it still cracks me up every time.

Friday's mix! Got quite the variety! Little Baylor's mohawk didn't show up on this background very well, but I assure you it's pretty epic! he just grows that way and the owners let me just trim it to shape it, I love it so much on him All such good puppers on this cold rainy day... At least the backdrop is spring-like!

I totally forgot to add little Lela's picture to yesterday's album! I'm sorry Lela! You get your own special post!

Some of yesterday's cuties. I'm thrilled to finally welcome Lago and Cosmo to the shop! There are just those dogs, when grooming, that you get super attached to... These are two of the ones I just love, been grooming both since puppies and still can't believe the younger one will be 6 this year?! They are just a little quirky but that's what makes them funny to me. Both want to be on my table SO BAD (until picture time apparently)... And try jumping up there the whole time.... They are a breed most people don't know even exists, called lagotto romagnolo. I see then at shows and I've worked on a couple others here and there, but these are the only two I really know well, and they are super fun boys! I'm so glad they finally came out here, as I'm so used to seeing them every 5-6 weeks for the past 9ish years... I was missing them pretty bad! Little lady was new to me, and got a total makeover! Was fun to see her merle color under all that hair! Couldn't tell what color she was when she was so long. She was just the sweetest little cocker ever, and I'm glad she's feeling better now. See more

Today's cuties! Welcome Bella! I have been grooming Bella since she was a puppy and this is her first visit out here. I missed her, she's such a little character! Dodge wasn't feeling the"sit still and pose for a picture" thing today. He knew he was done and was spinning all over the table as excited as can be. That's the only picture that didn't come out as a little blur.

Been a long few days! Slacking on the pictures... Monday was the poodle pack and since they really aren't fans of having their picture taken, I thought I'd spare them this visit lol. I took Tuesday off to run around to the mechanic, dog training and vets... These are a few from yesterday! I was up till 1am playing with the veggie plants, I'm kinda obsessed with growing them ... But moving up hundreds of seedlings to bigger pots takes a lot of effort, and I'm nowhere near do...ne yet (been at this for days now lol). I'm ready for warm weather so everything can just go outside where it belongs. I'm gonna try to get back on track with the pictures!

Well, a few of today's cuties anyway .

Sunday's cuties!

Full day today! Rosie had a major makeover! I haven't seen her in over a year, and she didn't go anywhere else. I've never seen her so fluffy, . I just love her ears. She's the miss different looking dog and I just can't put my finger on what she could possibly be s mix of. She's awesome though, and looks great for 14 years old!!! Her new sister Daisy did really well for her first groom, at 7 years old. Everyone else was good as usual! Tried to get Callie and Willow together but that didn't work so well. Did get one cute one. Callie didn't want to pose by herself either today. (Or at least look at the camera, I still think it came out cute ).

Forgot to post these two yesterday. I had a couple others cancel last minute, so got the majority of a day off anyway. Did get some gardening worked on, but, didn't make a dent of course! I'll post today's pups later, full day today!

Today's cuties!

Bella head tilts!!

These cuties are all looking good!

Anyone ever have one of those days where you just can't believe the stupid stuff you are capable of doing? Well. That was today for me... Just want to take a moment and tell you guys, I'm really NOT perfect. I messed up pretty bad this morning. As far as I thought, I had no dogs until 11:00. I met my dad at tractor supply at 9am where he helped me get some large items for my garden... When I was able to see the house driving home, I saw a car in the driveway and my heart sa...nk. Yep. I forgot to put someone in the book, at 9am. It was now after 9:30. I quick unloaded the garden stuff and got right to work on Casey (who really hates her picture taken, but I tried!). I'm so ridiculously grateful her owner is so kind and understanding! I was pretty mortified!!! And when I thought that was the worst I could do for one day. Nope. I placed an instacart order with tops because I have been too busy to go shopping... thought this would be easier. Well. It would have been. If I had it sent to the right address. Got a notification that my order was delivered but no one was ever in my driveway. Looked at the picture... I had it sent to the Penfield shop I used to work at!! So I was thankful my last two dogs canceled so I could run over and get them, and waste more time than if I'd have gone shopping... Soooo... Yeaaaa.... That was interesting. Needless to say, I'm going to try to be even more careful with texts and making appointments via text, it may come to a point where I won't be able to do it guys... It's just getting tough when I'm moving around and don't want to stay glued to my book 24/7. Phone calls, I don't mess up ... Still can't adjust to the texting tho. I'm also going to be closed on Fridays starting in a couple weeks. I realize I'm just going a little too hard and need to at least have one day to myself and the dogs and gardening etc. Yard care is going to be in full swing real soon, ... That's a full time job in itself lol. Anyway, enjoy the cute puppies that I did today! I'll post Bella's new head tilt video, the last one was so cute I just needed to do it again. Thanks everyone for being awesome!

Was a snow day today, so a few didn't make it in, but these guys got lucky and made it! Zoe was a bath and tidy today (isn't she just a camera ham?! Such a good poser!) Spenser is an old man with some medical issues, but I'm so happy he's still going strong! He couldn't really hear my noises to get his attention for the camera. He's been coming to me forever! He's 13 now and I remember when he was just a youngster... hard to believe. Bella, she was crazy excited to be done and didn't want to sit for the picture . I got this one from a video I took of her, to try and sneak one that way.

This big girl just wanted to check in and say thank you to everyone for all your prayers and good thoughts these past couple weeks! It seems to have worked because her chest xray today was clear and showed no signs of any more cancer! We hopefully caught it early, and quick, and that'll be that for a long time!! Any further prayers would certainly be appreciated! Thank you so much everyone, your endless support means the world to me!

Had quite the day today! I'm feeling incredibly grateful today. Little Luna came in from Fairport for a nail trim, and Meatball the lowchen came in from Syracuse for his first professional groom. Kosmo is also coming in from Fairport but his big goofy self didn't want to pose for a picture. He thought it was play time when I was done, so that's the best I could get of him . Ziggy lost about 3 dogs worth of hair. I should have taken a before pic, he doesn't look like the same dog! So handsome! Just a great day full of all kinds of dogs.

Got these two cuties looking good today! As well as the big black one that belongs to me . My poor dogs have been super neglected lately. 3 of them got baths today. I started grooming two of them yesterday, only finished one today. But at least they are clean. Ice is my old girl. She's 9 now and just the best dog ever. She's sporting a pony mane, and soon to come will be the rest of the pony cut that she wears for winter. Right now she's in a typical schnauzer cut until the legs grow out a little more. By next grooming I think she'll be ready to look like a pony again! I'll be sure to share when she gets her new do.

Was a mostly shih tzu day today! Libby was just a bath and tidy but everyone else got the works today!
