Grooming pics poodles

after This is Biscuit, there are a couple of bald spot at his leg cause by his chewing so i didn't go too short there. I have not been grooming poodle for a while and this is a good chance. They do require more work than other breeds but i always look forward to the finishing touch.

I get a job satisfaction seeing a completed look.


I am not a show groomer so my style is a little different.seeing that smile on the owner's face really makes my day.Owner is happy, i also happy.


My piority is safety /comfort of my client(the doggies)before anything else. I believe dog grooming should be humane..not mass production...it is the quality of the job not the quantity.

I will probably get fired for working in a salon coz i am no Edward Scissorshand. I am too.. slow.....

afterThis is Braveheart, he is a 5 mths old red poodle. The owner didn't like the new look..she prefer his old look. I thought he look better now. Sometimes they need a while to get use to it. He is a real sweet heart though.

The Rainbow Bridge


jack

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...

This page is dedicated to all the doggies i have groomed over the years but have gone to heaven due to old age and sickness. You all are dearly missed by your owner and me. Thank you for the love and trust you all have given us. Each of you is an unique individual who forever hold a special place in our heart. Thank you for the sweet memories and friendship that your owner and i share.

Girl Girl pic

This shot looks like a passport photo.haha.. girl girl's owner wants her fur shave off except the facial hair. Poor girl have chronic skin problem. She is 8 years old now. she is so well behave during grooming compared to when she was a puppy. She fought with my hairdryer, leaving teeth marks on it. Her owner used to scold her " i beat you die die ". I find that phrase so funny. LOL

Sparky is allergic to most dog shampoo, so innovative grandma bath him with Chinese tea.When they do bath him with shampoo, he would go into a scratching frenzy. Ah ma always tell me she is so heart pain whenever he does that.
I have given him a couple different styles all these years. Puppy cut, schnauzer cut but due to his skin condition, it's better to be more comfortable for him to cut short. Ah ma also have an easier time grooming him. He gets flaky at his ears and body too.
I always look forward going to this client's house. Known them for 6 years now, sort of watch his owner grow up since she was 13 years old. Her grandma always make sure i got enough to eat..or else she would make juice or snack for me. Very heartwarming.
House call grooming really bring the relationship closer than working in the shop. I get time to play with the dogs before grooming, join the owner for lunch, gossip a little.. hahaha...
Sparky always give me a big welcome.
Especially those lonely old folks or maid who stay home with their pets all day, really look forward for me to drop by. They are so very nice to me, i'm so touched.. you know...thank you for making me feel so at home. Love you all soooo much!
