River started our day with her gentle, cautious little spirit. She’s the kind of girl who watches everything first, taking it all in before deciding the world is safe. And once she does? That soft, expressive poodle face melts you instantly. She’s delicate, polite, and impossibly adorable — the kind of pup who makes you slow down and savor the moment.

💗 Valentine — the gentleman with a mystery mix

Next up was Valentine, our medium mix who we suspect might have a dash of English Bull Terrier in that handsome face of his. But whatever his blend may be, his name fits him perfectly. He is pure sweetness, through and through — gentle, patient, and full of quiet affection. Valentine carries himself like a little gentleman, making the whole grooming process feel like a pleasant conversation with an old friend.

🤎 Kobe — the golden retriever with a whole lot of personality

And closing out the day was Kobe, the golden retriever who never misses a chance to show off his charm. He’s silly in the best way — expressive, playful, and always ready to make you laugh. But beneath all that goofiness is a heart of gold. Kobe has that classic golden retriever magic: he wins you over before you even realize it’s happening.

Each of today’s pups brought something special, and together they made Wednesday feel warm, joyful, and full of personality.
