This Friday, we’re celebrating double the fluff, double the charm, and double the personality with our spotlight on Vito and Anoush, two fabulous Australian Shepherds who know how to keep their groomer on her toes—and her heart full.

🎭 Vito: The Escape Artist with a Heart of Gold

Vito is the kind of guy who has opinions about nail trims. He’s not shy about voicing them either—whether it’s a dramatic sigh, a side-eye, or a full-on bath escape attempt. But don’t be fooled. Behind all that flair is a total sweetheart who knows exactly how to melt hearts. One look into those puppy dog eyes and Nicole’s resolve crumbles. He’s got the charm, the smarts, and the timing to get away with just about anything… and he knows it.

👑 Anoush: The Paw-Hiding Princess

Anoush takes a more subtle approach. When it’s nail trim time, she channels her inner royalty and simply tucks those paws away like they’re made of diamonds. Her technique is quiet, calculated, and undeniably adorable. With her graceful demeanor and gentle sass, she’s the picture of princess energy. But even a queen can be swayed—with the promise of snacks, of course.

🍪 Treats, Trust, and Teamwork

Despite their clever tactics, Vito and Anoush made it through their grooming session like pros. With patience, praise, and a few well-earned treats, they reminded us that every dog has their own rhythm—and every groom is a chance to build trust, celebrate quirks, and share a little joy.

Nicole couldn’t be prouder of these two. Whether it’s a bath-time escape or a paw tuck worthy of a tiara, Vito and Anoush brought laughter, love, and a whole lot of Aussie spirit to the van this week.
