Today’s lineup was a whole mix of charm, comedy, and canine strategy, and honestly… it was a great day in the van.

Cooper & Rip – The Doodle Duo

We kicked things off with Cooper and Rip, two doodle brothers who could not be more different if they tried.

Cooper came in with his sweet little anxious wiggles, unsure of the whole “spa day” situation but absolutely melting hearts anyway. He’s one of those dogs who doesn’t even realize how adorable he is—big expressive eyes, soft curls, and a personality that just makes you want to scoop him up and reassure him that everything is okay. And he did amazing. Truly.

Rip, on the other hand, is the definition of calm, cool, and collected. This boy tried to nap standing up during his groom. Zero stress. Zero worries. Just vibes. If Cooper is the anxious little brother, Rip is the older sibling who’s seen it all and refuses to be bothered by anything. Both boys were absolute joys.

Sophie – The Australian Shepherd Sweetheart

Next up was Sophie, the Australian shepherd who could charm anyone within a five‑mile radius. She was such a doll from start to finish—soft eyes, gentle energy, and that classic Aussie intelligence shining through the whole time. She made the grooming process feel like a breeze, and honestly, she could teach a masterclass on being a perfect guest.

Callie – The Aussie/Lab Mix With a Plan

And then there was Callie, the Australian shepherd and Labrador retriever mix who walked in knowing exactly how to get her way. This girl is smart—like, “I know how to work the system” smart. A little head tilt here, a soft paw there, and suddenly she’s getting all the attention she wants. She kept us laughing the entire time and made sure her groomer stayed on her toes. A total sweetheart with a sprinkle of mischief.

Another day full of personality, progress, and pups who make this job the best one in the world. Each one brought something special to the table, and we loved every minute of it.
