🎶Ruby, Ruby, Ruby… ❤️

I always find myself singing in my head “Ruby, Ruby, Ruby…” whenever I see this sweet girl!

At 14 years old, today was Ruby’s very first professional groom, and I couldn’t have been prouder of her. We've been working towards this for a while, building her confidence with regular nail clip appointments and taking everything at her pace.

Today was finally her big groom day, and she was such a good girl. She trusted me every step of the way and handled everything so well. There was enough hair coming off her to create a full-blown snowstorm in the salon! ❄️😂

One of my favourite parts of grooming senior dogs is helping them feel comfortable and confident, and Ruby was a perfect example of why I love what I do. Under all that coat was an even more beautiful girl, looking fresh and feeling so much better.

I'm so proud of you, Ruby. Fourteen years young and absolutely smashing your first groom. ❤️🐾
