The Makeover

As we all know, it's almost the end of the year -- How can that be? Its been a long year but it’s gone by in a flash. A lot of things that I wanted to get done, I haven't and I have to accept that. There's always next year to do better, right?  
~A wreath making class a few weeks ago~

However, one thing that was on that "to do list," was getting Noodle groomed. It was put off for several reasons mostly because I wanted him to be at his best physically. With acupuncture and cold laser and a massage every couple of weeks, and a small area around the amputation finally healed, he was finally at his best. 

I didn't want just any groomer. I needed one that could accommodate Noodle's "handicap" of not being able to stand the whole time. So, I asked on a Facebook page and there was one that came recommended for a number of reasons. "Sandi" had a tri-pod and totally understood the limitations they have and as the shop owner she had no problem with spending the extra time Noodle would need.

Finally the day of the appointment came -- I'll add that Sandi put us on her cancellation list and got us in pretty quickly. And fast forward to the big reveal and all I could say is "WoW!!" and then I said WoW again. What a difference.
~Noodle after - WoW!!~

Everyone at the shop treated Noodle like a rock-star and they could not have been more accommodating, any more friendly (to the both of us) and could not have made Noodle any more handsome - and made a bit cold too which is why he's wearing a coat and a tee-shirt. 


We are the groomer's newest fans and given their Facebook post that's below, I think they're Noodle's too!

  2. How wonderful that you were able to find Sandi near you who would understand and accommodate Noodle's limitations. What a cutie with the new hair cut but am glad he has a Tee and coat for the chilly days and nights.

    Hugs!

  14. Your wreath is beautiful. Mom loves to make her own wreaths too.

    Noodle looks amazing. He even looks younger. Isn't it wonderful when one finds a groomer who listens to your concerns and actually works with you!!! We have one we love, she is great with all of us, but was especially kind and gentle with our Angel Lightning who couldn't stand for very long.

    Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year - we hope 2025 finds ways to bring you joy and happiness.

    Woos - Misty and Timber, and Mom too
