✨ Home of The Velvet Pup dogs She has been heavily involved in both the rescue world, even running her own for 5 years, and the breeding world. She raised quality Australian Shepherds for 9 years and still has a soft spot for the working breeds! She has many years of experience with all types of behaviors, breeds, etc. She is committed to furthering her education and training and is in the process of becoming a Fear Free Certified groomer. Natalia opened a pet boutique in the spring of 2021, and that eventually morphed into starting to offer small grooming services when she began missing working with dogs every day. Grooming services quickly took over most of her time. After the birth of her 5th child she knew it was time to close up shop, work from home and focus solely on building her grooming business and perfecting her skills. After a long year of ups and downs, many decisions, stop and go remodeling of her grooming space, the idea for The Velvet Pup was born. Natalia believes in creating a beautiful, calming environment for her furry friends. Currently the space is undergoing more renovations to achieve a high end spa feel, but still offers a private and luxurious experience for all pups - it's just going to keep getting better!

If you’ve ever loved an old dog…

You know how you can look at them and still see every version of who they’ve been.

Yesterday, I groomed my Ranger boy for what may have been the last time. I hope it wasn’t. But as his legs kept giving out beneath him, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

His arthritis is getting worse. Doggy dementia leaves him confused, especially as evening comes. And I find myself wishing he could tell me what he needs, what hurts, and what still makes him happy.

If you’ve ever loved an old dog, you know the little things start to feel bigger.

Watching them get up. Listening for them at night. Feeling relieved when they eat a good meal or have a moment where they seem like themselves again.

You learn to help them without rushing. To give them a little more time. And sometimes you cry over something ordinary, like giving them a bath, because you suddenly realize how many times you’ve done it without ever wondering how many were left.

It’s hard to watch a dog you know so well become harder to reach. To miss the way things used to be while still being so grateful they’re here.

He’s still my Ranger boy. And I’m still his person, even in the moments when he’s confused.

So we’ll keep taking it a day at a time. I’ll help him when he needs me, love him through the changes, and try my best to understand what he’s telling me.

If you’ve ever loved an old dog, you know how much love can fit into “he had a good day today.” 🤍
