Letter to our pets

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.

Dear Dogs and Cats:

The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years, canine/feline attendance is not required.

The proper order for kissing is:

Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's Bum. I cannot stress this enough.

Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:

TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

(1) They live here. You don't.

(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.

(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.

Free Puppy and Kitten Grooms

At Nose 2 Tail Pet Care, we are committed to providing the best care we can to any dogs and cats in our care. We want to make things as stress free and enjoyable as possible for your furry friends. 

Dogs and cats who have been groomed regularly from a young age become used to the grooming process and handle it much better than those who only have sporadic grooming.

Because of this, we offer an initial free puppy and kitten groom for long and short coated dogs and cats AND 50% off any full priced baths until 6 months of age.

We want to make your puppy/kitten's life of grooming a fun one that they are used to from an early age.

Please take advantage of this offer and please share with anyone you know who has a puppy or kitten!

Contact us at our store in Mount Ommaney on 3376 9917 to make your appointment today.

What is so important about establishing a grooming routine from a young age?

 

Puppies and kittens get to experience the sights, smells and sounds of a grooming salon. It can be a scary place to be for a young puppy or kitten, so getting them used to it can help them see a trip to the groomers as fun, not frightening!

They get used to being bathed and blow dried, their nails being cut, brushing and combing and having a groomer touch them all over.

This is something they are going to experience many times during their lives and getting them used to it from a young age means a much better chance of stress free, calm grooming in the future.

There is a crucial window of opportunity for experiences for both puppies and kittens, that help to shape responses to these experiences later in life. Allowing your puppy or kitten the opportunity for grooming when they are young, helps them accept the process as something normal and non threatening.
