A Paw Print on My Heart
You left no riches,
No grand estate,
Only paw prints on my heart
That time can never erase.
Your leash now hangs in silence,
Your bed lies still and bare,
Yet in every corner of my soul,
I find you waiting there.
So run where pain can never follow,
Where fields are always green.
Until the day we meet again,
You'll live in every dream.
Forever loved.
Forever missed.
Forever my Rosie.

Sometimes dogs are nervous at first, once we get going they soon relax and extremely happy 🤣 at the end of their grooming routine.

LET'S TALK ABOUT EAR HEALTH

Why You Should Never Put Liquid Down a Dog's Ears Unless Directed by a Veterinarian

A dog's ear canal is very different from a human's. It is long and L-shaped, which means liquid can easily become trapped deep inside the ear. Introducing water, homemade remedies, oils, disinfectants, or other liquids without veterinary advice can create a moist environment that encourages the growth of bacteria and yeast, potentially leading to painful ear infections.

If a dog already has an inflamed ear, a ruptured eardrum, or an underlying ear condition, placing liquid into the ear can worsen the problem and may even cause damage to delicate structures responsible for hearing and balance.

Many ear issues look similar on the surface, but the treatment can vary greatly depending on the cause. What helps one dog may harm another. Veterinarians use specialised equipment to examine the ear canal and eardrum before recommending appropriate treatment.

If your dog is scratching at their ears, shaking their head, has an unpleasant odour coming from the ears, or appears uncomfortable, the safest course of action is to seek veterinary advice rather than attempting to treat the problem yourself. Proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent unnecessary pain and complications for your dog.

LET'S TALK ABOUT EAR PLUCKING,
Why i don't pluck hair from ears.

Why Ear Hair Should Not Be Plucked Unless Advised by a Veterinarian
For many years, routine ear hair plucking was commonly recommended for some dog breeds. However, current veterinary advice is increasingly recognising that unnecessary ear plucking can sometimes do more harm than good.
Plucking hair from a dog's ear canal creates tiny areas of irritation and inflammation within the delicate skin of the ear. This irritation can make the ear more susceptible to bacterial and yeast infections, particularly in dogs that are already prone to ear problems. In some cases, the discomfort caused by plucking may lead to redness, sensitivity, scratching, and head shaking.
Not all dogs require ear hair removal. Many dogs with naturally hairy ears live their entire lives without experiencing ear-related issues. The decision to remove ear hair should be based on the individual dog's health, ear condition, breed, and veterinary recommendations rather than being performed routinely.
Professional groomers play an important role in maintaining a dog's hygiene and comfort. However, diagnosing ear conditions and determining whether ear hair should be removed falls within the scope of veterinary care. Unless specifically instructed by a veterinarian, groomers should avoid routine ear plucking, as they cannot assess underlying ear disease, inflammation, infection, or eardrum health.
If excessive ear hair is contributing to recurring infections or poor air circulation, a veterinarian can examine the ears and recommend the safest management plan for that individual dog. The health and welfare of the dog should always come before cosmetic appearance or traditional grooming practices.
When it comes to ear care, the safest approach is simple: if in doubt, leave it out and seek veterinary advice.
