My Family

Oreo Joseph Haynes: Cocker Spaniel
12/15/2000
Oreo was my first dog and, aside from my love for animals, was my inspiration for becoming a groomer.  He is a sweetheart most of the time, but doesn't do anything he doesn't want to!  He loves to come to work with me and tags along almost everyday.

Miss Josephine Abigail Piddles: Beagle
08/24/2001-12/30/2009
We lost Miss Piddles to numerous health problems on December 30th, 2009.  She was always such a happy beagle and went to a place with no more pain with her tail wagging.   I miss her with all my heart.  Miss Frumply also lost her dearest friend and has some of her own off days when I can tell she is thinking about her.  My deepest sympathy to all who have lost a beloved pet.

Tito Bandito Montana: Short Hair Chihuahua
04/07/2002
Tito is our special little guy.  He is a character who loves to love and is always making us smile.  He is timid around strangers but is an angel once he gets to know new people.  He would rather not come to work, because he knows it could be bath time at any moment :)

Chopper: Short Hair Chihuahua
10/19/2003

Chop is our smallest family member but he also our loudest.  He loves to let everyone know he is around.  He also loves to be under the blankets or out bathing in the sun.

Miss Talison Fajita Frumply: Long Hair Chihuahua
03/17/2005
Miss Frumply joined our family when she was 7 months old.  She was very timid and took a long time to trust anyone other than her mommy.  She has gotten over most of her fears and has become a little social butterfly to anyone who comes over to see her.

Ezra: Fila Brasileiro
5/16/2009

A Fila was my husbands dream dog so we finally decided to get one.  After speaking with many breeders we chose Ezra from a breeder in New Mexico (www.desertskyekennels.com) She is a wonderful, intelligent puppy who is %100 puppy!  She has been coming to the shop everyday to be socialized, however the breed is protective of anyone they consider family and they don't enjoy attention from strangers, so she may not be at the shop when she gets older an/or displays protectiveness.   But for now she does love to romp around the shop and play with anyone who will tolerate her puppy teeth!  She will also be attending puppy class at petsmart in August for additional socialization.

Klawdeea Klinger
04/19/2006

We rescued Klawdeea  a few months after Meowlory.  She is a momma's girl who only like attention for so long before she attacks.  She is always doing something to make us wonder what she is thinking, lol.

Meowlory Me-Purrs
01/19/2006

Meowlory came into our family a few weeks after I lost Sugar Puss.  I vowed to never get anymore cats, but even with a house full of dogs it still felt empty with out a kitty.  We went to a rescue and found this adorable little black ball of fur who has been a part of our family ever since.

Sally Alley Cat
7/19/2006
Sally came into our lives at just over a year old.  We saw her in the Cat Shack rescue area at Petsmart.  We fell in love with her looks and outgoing personality.  She fits right in with our other furry babies and enjoys having a forever home.

Dani Hatchling
12/30/2008
Dani was our first bird.  He is a green cheek conure and is quite a little character.  He loves attention from everyone and loves to show off his tricks and sounds.

Marilyn Nester
04/07/2009
Marilyn is Dani's new best buddy she is a pineapple green cheek.  As of mid September she has only been with us a few weeks so her true personality is just starting to show.  We can't wait until she feels like part of the family :)  She is a beautiful little lady :)

Thunder Chicken
6-29-2007
Thunder Chicken is a white-bellied caique.  We were directed to her from Jennifer, my former groomer.  From what we understand she was given up due to a divorce.  She is a such a character and is always making us laugh.  She can get nippy at times around her cage but is just a doll to her mommy and daddy when she is out.
Beaker Tweets
October 2009
Beaker is our newest addition.  He is a Congo African Grey.  He is finally starting to talk or should I say woof and meow!  He knows his name and says things like I love you, Hello Beaky, Come here Come here Come here :) And make a poopy, poopy on your paper (hes paper trained, lol)

Sugar K. Puss
(In Loving Memory)
Sugar Puss was very special to me and it was awful to lose her.  She passed on from a lung tumor in 2006.  She will never be forgotten.
