Good morning!!! I just want to come on here and sat THANK YOU to all of my amazing clients that have sent me cards, well wishes, cookies and even flowers since I've been out for shoulder surgery!! I would also like to give a shout out to Laney and the girls for running the show.... I am very blessed to have my own daughter take over for me so I can heal properly and be better than ever when I come back..... with that being said, it does seem some of "my" customers have been rude in certain ways and this is unacceptable... I realize you like who you like, as I am the same way... BUT I can not groom right now so instead of telling you to wait 2 months for me to come back she offered to take my clients in.... Please, just be patient and be kind.... she is an amazing groomer... way better than I will ever be and she pours her heart and soul into making sure your babies are very well cared for while in her care!!!! Im almost halfway thru my recovery so patience please..... Thank you and thank you Laney and staff!!!! Cute sport pups looking for homes for cutie effect!!! ~Tracey

As hot as it is outside this Back on Track cooling coat has been a lifesaver for Piper who has BCC and overheats in just 5 minutes of being out in the heat. With her cooling coat on she can be outside with all the crazies, go for walks, and is able to compete the same as all the others!!! This is a must have if you are taking your dog camping, to their favorite sport or just walking on a hot day!!! Let me know if you would like to order..... I will have a limited supply at The Klimb.... I can drop ship them to your front door.... they run$40-$45 plus s/h tax. ... or you can order at www.backontrackusa.com/HoDPet

It has been a very trying week to say the least... The loss of a couple babies that were amazing clients hit hard.... trying to get everyone in before I have surgery with a body that isn't cooperating, seizure of a favorite dog first thing this am.... then this lil ray of sunshine came in to spend the day with us and made my day!! Congratulations Mary and James on your baby, she is a good one. And EXACTLY what I needed today......

This girl was here every two weeks of her life and would wait for us to call her across the street to come play and get beautiful... We will miss you terribly Zola girl and happy heavenly birthday yesterday..... thank you for being a light in our lives.... we love you sweet girl.... 😭

I have been wanting to work on this project for a few years, I am thinking maybe now is the time. Before I commit I need to know how many people would be interested to participate. I want to make 2 books 1 specific to rescue, the other all inclusive. participants would get 1 page with at least 1 photo plus a letter that they write to the featured pet.

This is not just for dogs! fur, feather, scale.... anything with a tail 🤣

Cost would be basically the cost to pre order the book. extra books would be available to purchase, the photo that i use will also be available to purchase.

I have a minimum amount needed to make this work, also a maximum number that I can include.

please respond if you would be interested (this is not a commitment, just a gauge of where i am falling on this) and let me know rescue or general book.

Thank you!
Emily
