With the apartment fire tonight and many pets needing help, if you plan on donating you can bring items to the spa and I'll make sure it gets to them. ❤️

Heads up family...the nasty little blood suckers are out! Please start using your flea/tick preventative now instead of waiting for after the groom. I really really prefer to not run over big juicy blood filled ticks with my clipper blades.
Thank you ❤️

My Bindi is clear, no cancer!! ❤️❤️❤️

I had some of you ask how Bindi is doing so I'll give the update here. About a year ago we found a small lump on her back. It never changed. Couple months ago it started growing. We got it checked and scheduled her to get it removed. The surgery was this last Friday. The night before I found another lump on the inside of her back leg. Friday morning she had both removed. We go to the Steele Veterinary clinic and Dr. Dutton is her vet. Wonderful guy. My concern was the lump on her back because it was a harder lump. He's more concerned about the lump on her leg now. Now is the waiting. Im not good at waiting. But she's home, resting getting lots of love n snuggles ( more than she wants im sure) So please send my Bindi all the positive vibes and whatever makes this momma calm down. Between saying goodbye to Christmas on January 2nd, Piper having just a squishy mass (thank god) removed in January and now Bindi. I could really use a break about now 😪

Today was operation " Rehab Nikki" Nikki was a rescue and you never know the history you get with them. Nikki's issue was her feet. She was the sweetest marshmallow just don't do the nails. The vet was getting that job. It was meds before going in, muzzle, 2 people, a potty on the table and mom thought it was getting worse. It broke my heart because she is so sweet. I wanted to try again. I kept this day open just for her and it was a Netflix, chill and snacks kind of day. So on the floor with a pile of blankets, deer jerky, chips, crackers, chicken nuggets, PB. And 1 hr and 16 minutes later about 5000 good paws with about 5000 pieces of deer jerky ( not really, but felt like it) WE DID IT!!!!!!! Just sitting on the floor, with jerky. No potty, no muzzle. Just Nikki, me, calmness, love and trust. And me crying of course ❤️❤️❤️ Myra we did it in 1 visit!!!!!

Good morning family, I really hate to do this. But effective March 1st there will be a price increase. I know a lot of you are pre booked and if you want to cancel I completely understand. All of my expenses have gone up and I just can't absorb the cost anymore. I 100% wish I could. I hope you understand 😔

Good morning! Im back, sort of. Im still on lifting restrictions so its smaller dogs for now. Dr. Thinks I'm crazy since its only been 31/2 wks. But I'm stubborn like that. And alot of you have had to wait.
And second, I wanted to apologize to those of you that haven't gotten your 2026 schedule. I meant to finish them up over Christmas and this holiday was awful. The day after my surgery my mom went to the ER with breathing issues and ended up staying a few days. I was unable to visit her being all wrapped up. But she was out for Christmas. A few days later she fell and was back in the ER for another few days. While she was in, we had to put my cat named Christmas down on January 2nd. We did surgery with him and a few weekend stays at the vet with ivs for nutrients and hydration but we just couldn't fix him. My mom is home now and we've been getting her situated at home.
But I will get your appointments done and in as soon as I can. ( And mom realizes the hospital is not a vacation destination 😉) ...

FIREWORKS on the way in Mandan!!

A reminder for pet parents - Mandan will be holding a massive fireworks display on New Years Eve, starting around 10 pm. They are hoping to set a world record, and the noise and commotion will be a LOT for our furry friends.

Please keep this in mind when letting your pets out for potty breaks. A good rule of thumb is to keep your dog on a leash, even if you have a fenced yard. A frightened dog may be able to break out of the yard. Also, work to set up a safe space in your home if they become frightened.

Also - a reminder - Mandan allows fireworks throughout the whole town on New Year's Eve. There will be many loud bangs and impromptu noises throughout the evening. Possibly tonight as well.
