From Marshmallow Fluff to Bichon handscissor
Ive been dying to groom this dog since I first watched his original groomer cage dry him and spend an hour and a half brushing mats and curls from his coat. When that groomer left he was given to my coworkers, who is an accomplished scissor queen. The owner found the original groomer, however, and […]
The Nightmare Before Christmas
“Hey Charity, are you up for a challenge?” My boss strolls into the salon on Saturday with a smile, knowing my answer. “Maybe. It depends on what it is.” I know him too well to say yes. He’s given me a 16 year old senile and aggressive Bouvier that was a solid pelt and couldn’t […]

I’m excited to have this kind of client, it makes grooming fun. Now, for […]
“Surprise me!”: Pink Polka Dots for Sissy!
I’ve had a busy week! One color dog a day for the last three days, on top of being super booked! I had 8 dogs today, including Sissy. Now, Sissy’s one of those dogs whose owners I like more than the dog. This isn’t a bad thing, just that Sissy is a little ragamuffin of […]
Putting a little creativity into your matted pet shavedowns!
Let’s face it: no one is impressed by a naked mole rat, but sometimes a dog is just so matted that you have no choice. Below is my pom/bichon mix, featured here before, and she arrived super matted. she has extremely fine, silky hair, but I think the real reason she matted is because when […]
