Today’s grooming van lineup brought a perfect mix of big energy, soft snoozes, and first‑timer charm.

Koda, our handsome husky mix, kicked things off with a presence as bold as his shiny black coat. This boy carries an energy level that could power half of Northwest Ohio, and he brings every ounce of it straight into the van. Beneath all that enthusiasm, though, is a total sweetheart who loves the process and beams with pride when he’s looking fresh. He’s the kind of dog who makes you smile before you even open the door.

Next up was Cirilla, another husky mix but with a completely different vibe. This fluffy little lady decided today was the perfect day for a spa‑day nap — and honestly, she wasn’t wrong. She snoozed through most of her visit, waking up only to give a soft blink or a tiny stretch before drifting right back into dreamland. Grooming a relaxed cloud of fluff is always a treat, and Cirilla brought the calm energy we didn’t know we needed.

And finally, we welcomed Doug, the dachshund, for his very first grooming experience. First grooms can go a lot of ways, but Doug handled it like a seasoned pro. He was curious, cooperative, and wonderfully expressive — a little philosopher in a long, low body. His gentle, thoughtful demeanor made the whole process smooth and surprisingly endearing. For a first-timer, he absolutely nailed it.

Three dogs, three personalities, and one very full heart. Days like this remind us why every pup’s story matters — whether they’re bursting with energy, snoozing through the spa, or stepping into grooming life for the very first time
