Today’s lineup brought three very different personalities into the grooming van, and each one added their own charm to the day.

Cole – The Handsome Schnauzer Gentleman

Cole is the kind of dog who walks in already looking like he belongs on a magazine cover. Calm, composed, and effortlessly handsome, he makes grooming feel like a peaceful little spa session. He stands like a pro, gives those soft, knowing looks, and reminds me every time why schnauzers have such a loyal fan club. Cole is the definition of a good boy with impeccable manners.

Tucker – The Shy, Fluffy Weenie Dog

Sweet Tucker is a little cloud of fluff with a heart that just needs a moment to warm up. He’s shy, gentle, and prefers to take things slow, which is perfectly fine by me. Once he realizes he’s safe and cared for, he melts into the process with those big soulful eyes and that signature dachshund charm. Tucker may be timid, but he’s brave in all the ways that matter.

Milo – The Havanese Mix With Big Opinions

Milo… oh Milo. This little guy has thoughts about grooming, and he is not shy about sharing them. He’s adorable, expressive, and absolutely convinced that the grooming process is a personal inconvenience. But even with his dramatic sighs and “are we done yet?” glances, he pushes through like a champ. Underneath the sass is a sweet pup who just wants reassurance—and once he’s finished, he struts around like he knew he looked fabulous all along.

Three dogs, three personalities, and one very full heart. Days like this remind me how lucky I am to watch these pups grow, trust, and shine in their own ways.
