Wai Wai


Home cook meal for me from this doggy owner. I have to postpone his grooming but the owner already cook dinner for me so she sent it to me. The portion is huge enough to feed an entire family. I can't thank her enough seriously and our conversation always goes like this
Me : oh thanks for the gifts.(or food)
Her : i should be the one to thank you for willing to groom my dog, i know he is very naughty.
Me : don't say that. Okay i treat you lunch next time, ok?
Her : no no i should treat you
Me : pls don' like that, i very paiseh(uneasy) that i always getting from you. thank you so much Her : no need no need, i am very grateful to you.Thank you leh..
This thank you exchange will go on for the next 5 to10 min every time...rather funny actually.
I feel guilty about her dog because i was on maternity leave few years back and couldn't groom him so she sent it to a shop. He was badly injured before the groomer could start grooming him. Came home with blood clot in his eye and lost 3 teeth. After that he was never the same.he became aggressive when comes to grooming and got rejected by other shops. I don't know what happened while he was there but he never gave me any problems before.
Told his owner to let me try grooming him when i got back to work because i know at least he is familiar with me. she was afraid he might bite me now that he had been traumatized. i don't have the heart to reject him coz he is very loving to me actually. Give him time to built that trust.
I don't deny he is tough but end of the day, the job is done and a good work out for the 2 of us.

Merry Christmas

KiKi : Mummy was late wishing you guys but anyway hope you have fun during this festive season like me. We went to east coast park for bbq and hung out at uncle mert's place. Everyone enjoyed my company! They said,: "wow, kiki is such a good girl."
My mummy is so lucky to have me, you know?

Pepsi is still a puppy.very new to grooming therefore put up a struggle with me.got to have lots of patience especially dealing with puppy, just try to make them enjoy the process.
You don't want to make them fearful of grooming next time.Must remember to praise them for their good behaviour too.

These are taken before grooming, they will be clipped really short after that. Heehee..
they will be comfortable and cleaner that way. See you in 8 weeks time again, boys!
They are from different family by the way.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Policeman, Soldier, Chef?
Had a little costume party.. The adults had fun laughing.
Uncle Mert Mert gave us lots of costume, they are from his nephews who grew out of them.
Didn't get the cow and batman costume photos taken.
Nowadays kids are so lucky.

Piju and Girl



Piju and Girl Girl are getting on with age, both are blind and deaf. Because they are not aware of the surrounding.. i have to stroke them often while grooming so as to calm them. Heard that girl girl is like 18years old. Really salute the owner for her love and patience because not easy caring for an old dog. Remember "Pet is for a lifetime". I have watch them grow old since i started grooming them 5 years back.


My heart ache everytime i see my client in bad shape due to old age but i believe it's part of life. Most importantly,they led a good life and are well taken care that matter most.
