The Rainbow Bridge is shinning bright today. When you’re learning to groom or train, there are many things other animal workers tell you about the job. The injuries that it can cause, the bites you make take, the rambunctious dogs and cats that you may get. They also tell you about the sweet babies you’ll get to know, the great clients you’ll have and all of the fun that comes with the job. But they never tell you about the absolute heartbreak of losing a groom or training dog. As a K9 professional, one must become a team with their dog, as we earn their trust and develop a bond. In the last week my heart has been broken as I’ve lost 2 amazing fur friends.
Neyland was a spoiled, feisty little fella that made me groom him lying down, on his back and always giving me a few bites before the task was complete. He hated a bath and the big dryer but he loved a good scrub with a warm fluffy towel and a nice treat. His favorite part was when the groom was over! A total Yorkie lol And my sweet fur friend. He will be missed in my salon and on my table.
And my BIG MAN… my sweet Atticus. This dog and I bonded immediately. He was one big fluff of pup that needed a good hair trim and just wasn’t sure about the process at first. But he trusted me. And he loved me. Every time he pulled up to my shop, his dad had to wrangle him in, bc he was so exited to see ME! The best compliment in the world. He loved to be brushed. He loved a warm scrub in his favorite conditioner. And he LOVED to love on me for our special photo ops. He truly left paw prints on my heart and my salon will seem very empty without his huge personality and loving demeanor. I love you Atti….
Rest easy my fur friends. I’ll see you at
The Bridge. 🐾 🌈
