Ever since losing my little old lady, I’ve developed a soft spot for golden girls here at the shop.
I started grooming Miss Bella in the final season of her life, and I’m so blessed she and her dad chose me for her grooming needs. Malamutes tend to have a sassier attitude sometimes, but not Bella. She is sweet as pie. She can’t stand all that well, not in her back end at least. So we take it slow, use various supports with towels for extra cushion to make it comfortable for her. Take lots of breaks to rest her old bones. I talk to her, and reassure her when she seems nervous. Apologize when I irritate the arthritis in her joints while doing her nails.
I genuinely look forward to her name in my book every time.
Do you have an old pup that’s been through every season of life with you? Post a picture of them, tell me the silly nickname you call them. Give them a hug and please know just how lucky you are to have them by your side ☺️🥰
