Every once in a while, I come across a dog that reminds me why I love my job. Don't get me wrong - I love my job most days. But grooming is hard. Hard on your body, hard on your patience levels and sometimes hard on your heart.
Enter Carlos, the ex Guide Dog. This beautiful old gentleman was "too chill" in his role guiding people, so moved on to a lovely family as a support dog to their son, helping in different ways. With his calm, sweet vibe, you would be forgiven for thinking he was Eeyore in a previous life. His tail wags the whole time, during his bath, blow dry and even his nail clip. He is not phased one bit. He gently complies with everything I ask and snuggles in for some love, which just tops it off.
Thank you Carlos for working your magic on me and giving me that gentle reminder to slow down and sometimes just enjoy 💜
