Oh Martha Oh Christmas

Who would have that Scott would love such a "little rat" ... she has everyone fooled with her charm, im waiting until she shows her true colors... i just hope she doesnt show them on my carpet!

Poor Pup!

Everyone who knows Puppie knows she is an abnormal dog. She is so human-like. These pictures show how much i torture her with doing things that a normal dog would sit still for!

Puppie lets me dye her hair.. so she can have Pink Tips!

And here she is NOT happy that she is dressed up as Santa.. or maybe Sandy from Grease!

Meet Martha!

Our newest addition... MARTHA MAY WHOVEIR

we know we know.. "are you crazy?" ... if you think I'M crazy, you should meet my sister Bridget! But yes I am crazy and I can't refuse a puppy. She is my first small dog, lets pray I dont break her little 3lb body!

MORE?!?!

can i possibly have any more nieces and nephews?? I think I forget how many there are until Christmas hits my wallet like the stock market crash. (i know Brianna i don't know anything about the stock market!) but seriously! haha but let me clarify... I LOVEEEEE having so many and I LOVEEEE shopping for them. i realized today that i have the most out of everyone. brad has 6, bridget has 3, brianna has 7, and i have 8!... and after this week we will have one MORE! Brad is having another boy! so 9 babies to shop for. And Scott thinks I only buy ONE gift per kid.. get real!

Thanks ALOT!

Thanksgiving is my second favorite day of the year.. due to all the food of course! But besides that its a day to be thankful of course. This year, Im thankful for my family, scott, my friends, my job, my puppie girl, my schnoodle head, and ginny. much more of course, but i dont have all day!

Dog Tired

Okay I may have spoke too soon... the shop was so busy today. I love feeling like I worked really hard all day and being able to come home and relax in a nice clean home. Yea right, boys do NOT clean up. Losers. anyway, had to clean and go to target to get paper towels and socks. just what i wanted to do after a long day. sweet deal. now i just want to sleep in.. oh wait nope tomorrow i get to do it all over again!

Cutest Clients

I have a collections of pictures on my phone of cute and sweet dogs that come through the shop, most are regulars, but there are a few strays. I figured it might be nice to post about a few of the cutest clients I see!

This is one of my favorite, actually probably really my favorite dog, that comes to the shop. His name is Oreo and he is the sweetest dog ever. He is a border collie with a sad past, but has been taken very good care of. He just melts my heart every time he comes in.

This is Teddy, the cutest puppy on earth. She is such a crack up. A fluff ball of joy. She has a great family that loves her, i love to see dogs taken such good care of. I love her crazy hair, i hope I never have to shave her!

KASH! Such a cute dog! He is a shop favorite!

WorkingHard or Hardly Working

This is supposed to be the busiest time of the year for me, well for work. But I'm guessing because of the economy, nobody wants to groom their dog. I might be speaking too soon, but usually by this time, I'm never home by 5:30. Strange, yet understandable. I know I'm not doing my normal shopping this year, so I'm assuming your all doing the same. With no green coming in, this definatly will be a blue Christmas for me.

only 23 ... already

Life doesnt always turn out the way we plan, actually it rarely ever does. When I was 16, if you would have asked me where I would be when I turn 23, this would not be the picture I would paint for you. I probably would have said "23? I will be long gone from here. I will definately be married, and probably have at least 1 kid. I'm going to be living in New York changing the world one day at time", my 16 year old self would also think money grows on trees because an actual job wasn't in my picture perfect future. I don't know why or when it happens, but change is inevitable. You wake up one day and wonder how you got here, or more about how you didn't get somewhere. I know I do everyday. I don't have many regrets, just curiousity of a different choice. I often wonder where I would be if I hadn't moved back from San Diego. I was struggling and I was a mess, but I was a person... a real person. Back here, in this town, and this house, i feel unreal, unhuman, like I have no control over the life I am supposed to call my own. I wish I could tell my 16 year old self to never question that hope and faith in a fairy tale world, I would say to stay the strong and motivated person that I was, and not to let hard days and negativity drag me down. (I would also say to rock that body I had back then!) Because life goes by so fast I woke up the other day and I was 23 years old... some say so young... that may be true, but to me, in most parts of my life, I am just... too old.
This is not a sad or depressing post, just a quiet night of thinking. There is so much in this life I want to accomplish, I just need to find the steps to get me there.
...Good Night (brianna and bridget...my only readers!)
