As Julia Byington bravely begins her fight against ovarian cancer, we’re collecting donations to help support her and her family during this challenging time. Julia has poured love into this community, and now it’s time for us to return it.

🗓 Saturday, June 7 TODAY
🕕 6–9 PM
📍 238 West Main Street, Abingdon, VA

🎶 Featuring Josh Bowles live + karaoke fun

Let’s lift Julia up with generosity, strength, and community spirit. Every bit of support makes a difference. 💚

If you are unable to make it to the concert and would still like to donate, please message our account and we will give you the information to send your donation!

Just updating you all I am still out of work with my babies and will be closed tomorrow 3/11. I’ll be back on 3/12 while my husband holds down the fort with the kids hoping they will start to feel better after this rough battle with the flu.

I’ll work on rescheduling everyone from last week and this week once I return and will work on answering messages and phone calls at that time! 🤍

CLOSED 3/6 & 3/7:

The shop will be closed the rest of this week with the flu hitting our house. The kids have stayed relatively healthy all winter minus a runny nose or a cough here and there! Hoping to be back on Monday to catch up on this weeks missed appointments! I’m working on getting this week rescheduled so bear with me on response times while trying to take care of things here at home. But I promise I’ll get you squared away 🙂

The shop is closed today due to our daycare being closed because of this crazy weather! Everyone stay safe and stay warm today! ❄️

OUT SICK!

The shop will be CLOSED Monday 2/17 due to an unexpected stomach bug that’s hit me hard! I’m sorry I won’t be able to reach everyone appropriately to let you know about your appointment being canceled but I promise to get you back on the books ASAP!

So sorry for the last minute cancelations. Praying it’s a quick 24 hour bug and it stays away from the rest of my family!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our little love, Mavie!
These pictures brought happy tears to my eyes.

Lucy couldn’t stand her when we first brought her home from the hospital but then ended up being her loyal protector. I like to think she’s watching over Mavie from heaven 🤍

The shop is OPEN today!

I will be opening at 9:30 this morning instead of normal schedule to allow myself and anyone else time who might have secondary roads to travel this cold morning!

I will be working on getting your phone calls and messages returned today along with rescheduling anyone who had to be cancelled from the weather last week!

“Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.” -W.R. Purche

That was the quote I wrote on Lucy’s first birthday 8 years ago and that would be the quote I write today, as she left this world peacefully at home on her favorite bed with her favorite bone.
9 years ago I went to the Appalachian fair for a concert, saw a mutt being sold for easy money in the back of a pick up, and came back to Abingdon with a life long responsibility. Best $10 I ever spent. To have a dog that can look at you and know exactly what you need is something you don’t always get out of a dog. Not every dog you meet or have can look at you and give you comfort like Lucy did for me.
And today as she layed her big ole pit bull blocky head (her favorite spot to be) in my lap, she looked at me and gave me comfort in her last moments telling me it was okay to let her go. A peace that overwhelmed me in that moment and gave me the greatest comfort, as she has done her entire life for me. Even in the immense pain she was in she was still selfless in that moment to worry about me and my needs.
There is a bond with her that I don’t know that I will ever find again with another dog. There will never be another “wuccceyyyy goooseyy” for me. And that’s okay. It was a privilege to be her owner. To watch anybody who met her fall in love with her. To listen to her obnoxious yawns at 5 in the morning telling the whole house it’s time to get up and let the queen go outside. To hear her tail beat the far out of the couch anytime you walked through the door because she missed you so much…but never wanted to actually go with you because she was a homebody who preferred it that way. To cuddle you but on her own terms and not understand what personal space was. These are the things I will miss the most.
There will always be a place in my heart that belongs to my wuccceyyy goosey. 🤍

- a special thank you to Dr. Steve Dotson and Dr. Emily Winebarger Hoss for all their time and efforts in assisting us with our best girl -

That’s a wrap on 2024!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from my family to yours!

I will see you in 2025

SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS: 🎄🐾

I’ve had several calls about needing their dogs groomed before Christmas. So I have decided to open up my schedule this Saturday 12/21 to ANYONE who needs it. This is an opportunity for anyone who might have missed an appointment that couldn’t get back in before Christmas or new clientele that can’t get in with their regular groomer!

First come first serve. Take advantage of this opportunity while you can! Message or call the shop to schedule!
