Today is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to make.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of grooming thousands of dogs, but some leave a paw print that can never be replaced. Casper, Cara, and Cuddles were three of my originals. They were part of my journey from the very beginning and have been familiar little faces in my grooming room for so many years.
Watching them grow older, celebrating their good days, helping care for them through the changes that come with age, and sharing so many moments with their families has been an honor I can’t put into words.
Losing one beloved client is heartbreaking. Losing three of my originals in such a short time feels almost impossible to process.
Casper, Cara, and Cuddles were more than appointments on my schedule. They were family. They each had their own personalities, their own quirks, and their own special place in my heart. The grooming room will feel a little quieter without them.
To their families, thank you for trusting me with your precious babies all these years. Thank you for sharing them with me and allowing me to be part of their lives.
Run free, sweet Casper, Cara, and Cuddles. 🌈🐾
You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts.
Forever loved. Forever remembered. ❤️🐾💔
