Meet Emily S.

Hi! My name is Emily. I’ve been working with dogs since I was 8 years old doing various things such as dog sitting, walking, and even “grooming” some of my neighbors dogs. I have always wanted to do something with animals so I went away to grooming school when I was 19 and have been a groomer for 10 years now! I met the dog I currently have in grooming school. He and his dad (about 75 years of age) would come in every month for Buddys spa day. One day his dad told me that he had been diagnosed with cancer and wouldn’t have long to live so he asked if I would care for Buddy after he passed. Of course I said yes. I fell in love with this dog from the get go. He was a student dog. Which also means he was basically perfect on the table. I didn’t know exactly what I was saying yes to. After he passed, I took Buddy into my care and had no idea how much of a connection we would have! I lost my dad in 2021 and I knew Buddy knew what that felt like. The connection we share is stronger than any dog I have owned. We understand each other. He is my SOUL dog. I hope everyone gets to experience a soul dog at least once in their lives because there is nothing more beautiful!
