Happy Saturday folks. Kinda a weird one. Woke way before the sun, the camper has been tucked away for winter storage. Just nice to know it’s out of the elements for the snow and ice that’s sure to come. Tami just left for the peaceful protest in Augusta, good on her for using her voice, not my scene. But got home from storing the camper to groom these two pups. Good dogs, but both can be quite difficult with the Don’t Touch My Front Legs Whatsoever policy they have in place🙄. Whatevs. I’m not asking, we are doing , per my policy. Sorry Charlie🐶🥰🐶🤣
But this is how today is different. This is not my first rodeo in this area, but I think it will always be weird, awkward, and extremely sad at the same time. Little Jasmine, the little white poodle, has been having a hard time with grooming for the better part of a year, and months ago, I started the owners on the path of I’ll do what I can, but it’s getting more difficult for her, and a time may come that I just say that I’m not grooming her anymore, she is just too frail for that. I’m glad I didn’t have to make that decision but it’s still hard, insanely hard when they come to me as their groomer and say, I know an incredibly hard thing to realize, that this will be her last groom. Her heart is having issues, just gonna leave that part up to the doctor folk, not my area of expertise, mad respect though, and seems like the family is realizing the inevitable. Such a raw harsh fact of life that usually can and does tear your heart out of your asshole😢. But as the groomer of this crazy sweet little girl, it’s just weird to know that I’ll never see you again….wow, damn💔…..
I got no more, we all know what comes next. Mad love to this family and anyone who knows this heartache. The love we get from our pets is always more than the pain of this part…but f**k, it hurts like hell when it comes for you😢💔🐶❤️🩹
