Is anyone else obsessed with taking cute photographs of their pets? I feel like most of the photos on my camera are of dogs, mine and other people’s. I take pictures when I’m out on walks (like the one above) and I take pictures of them at home. Then, when I groom a dog, IContinue reading “Pet Photography Available”

Sometime between 8 and 9 at night, Annie heads up the stairs and scratches at the door to my room. According to her, it’s time for bed. If I don’t get up there quick enough, she barks a few times. A message for me to hurry up. (A message I don’t want the rest ofContinue reading “Bed Time”

I actually get this question a lot. Most salons recommend you bring you pups in at least every 4 to 6 weeks. For some dogs this is for sanitary reasons. (They are dogs after all. And most of them love to play outside and get dirty.) For me, the answer to this question is aboutContinue reading “How Often Should I Get My Dog Groomed?”

My sister and her family are in town, and they brought their two dogs, both Miniature Schnauzers. Bagheera, also know as Bags, is 11/12 years old. He is a sweet boy, but doesn’t particularly like being groomed. Here is the after picture. He had some mats so I had to shave him down. So, heContinue reading “Sweets and Bagheera”

I’m excited to share with you that I will be participating in the It’s Your Time program. It is a mentor program for women entrepreneurs run by the Inland Empire Women’s Business Center, and will help me as I work to develop Sunbeam Pups. I am loving working to help you take care of yourContinue reading “It’s My Time (with your help)”

Marley is thirteen years old. His owners don’t want to cut his hair too short, but we had a little too many mats this time. (And I don’t like to torture dogs by brushing them out if it is going to take too long and be too uncomfortable, especially with older pups like Marley.) ThankfullyContinue reading “Marley”

A few weeks ago one of my clients had to put down their 11 year old Newfoundland. Goliath was a sweet teddy bear, and I do mean ‘Bear.’ This huge boy was around 180 pounds. I got some new markers and thought I would test them out on a picture from my camera roll. IContinue reading “Goliath”

Meet Goofy. He belongs to a good friend of mine. Her family rescued him off the street when he was just a puppy. They think someone drove off to an area without houses and abandoned him. He is still a little nervous about grooming- and especially hates to have his nails trimmed, but he isContinue reading “Goofy”

This sweet boy was ready for a groom. It had been more than three months and his hair was super long. Thankfully, he wasn’t matted. He was a little wobbly in his feet, and not used to being picked up, so I had to be extra gentle with him at the end. But by thatContinue reading “Robby and Vet Visits”

Cosmo will be 6 months old on Sunday, can you believe it? He is very high energy, super sweet, and already 11 pounds. I love this little pup with all my heart. And I am soo thankful he pulled through from his bout with puppy strangles.
