Took a refresher class this past weekend! It was well worth the hour and a half drive.

Hanging out with my guy Travis today.

So, here's an update to this page that I haven't been using. I created this page years ago but basically forgot about it. My Maryland people know that I've been working on a move to Washington, North Carolina, for the past year. September 30th was my last day grooming in Hagerstown. I'm now back and forth between the properties trying to get settled in NC while trying to sell my home in MD.

I'll probably start grooming in NC in November, so I need to get some clients lined up. If I've groomed your dog before, I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave me a review on Facebook!

A heart filled thanks to all my loyal MD clients. No matter if I've known you for 30 years or just a couple, I've enjoyed getting to know you and your furry family members. I'll miss you all, so keep in touch. --Janet

In an oral order Tuesday, a judge approved an adoption plan to transfer all 4,000 remaining beagles from Envigo’s Cumberland medical dog-breeding facility to shelters for adoption.

Just a reminder...

As you enjoy the summer temps, please do right by the best friend who depends on you the most. Remember: a pet in a parked car, even with the windows open, can quickly overheat and die on a warm day.

If you see an animal in distress in someone’s car, call 911 immediately and try to find the owner. If you cannot find the owner immediately, and you are still waiting for first responders and the animal seems to be in grave condition, state law allows you to break the car window or make entry to save the pet’s life. ❤
