Hollywood Coyote

Photo of urban coyote near the Hollywood Sign

The very adaptable coyote is found throughout North America and often in close proximity to people — very close.  Like bears they scavenge where humans have garbage and pet food outside for them to take advantage of but unlike bears they hide well and mostly go unnoticed.  That is, unless the food they are scavenging …

A Little Off the Sides

Rubes comic makes fun of poodle cuts

Leigh Rubin made us all laugh with this one but amidst our chuckling we decided that our LOVE TO GROOM poodles were all quite proud of the way they looked and felt when they left here after a traditional poodle cut. You must certainly admit that a good poodle cut is cooler in our hot …

Paddlewear for Puppies

Photo of dogs on a paddle boat each wearing lifevests

We saw this photograph on the Sacramento Bee website and thought of our own boating experiences here in southern California.   We work with a luxury tour company (Elite Adventure Tours) that invites families to bring their dogs along to see Hollywood and Beverly Hills so why wouldn’t families also want to take their pups …

Keeping Cool in the Groomer’s Pool

Photo of Bull Terrier being bathed at Love to Groom

There is nothing like a cool bath on a very hot southern California summer day.  This English Bull Terrier is having a very good time and I must admit that when the dogs really enjoy the water we give them a little extra tub time here at Love to Groom in Glendale, California. The weather …

I’m Not What I Eat

Another "bad" dog photograph to make us laugh

All of us who have harbored cats and dogs within our homes are very aware of the attraction of the litter box for the dog.  We have all developed strategies to minimize what is to us a disgusting habit (the cat thinks so, too!).  However, as unsettling as this is there is no real danger …

Dogportation

Photo of dog carrying puppy in a basket

This is just one of the fine ways to get your puppy where he needs to go, even if it’s over to Love to Groom in Glendale, CA for a bath and haircut.  Remember, if the dog stinks you have already waited too long for a grooming session.  The awful smell is often a precursor …

Kiss Me, You Fool

Photo of Shar Pei kissing a baby

Oh look, they’re wearing the same shirt.  How cute!  Do you think the Shar Pei knows where that kid’s mouth has been?  When we bathe and clip dogs at Love to Groom in Glendale, CA we always take a quick look inside the mouth just to be sure there aren’t any bad smells that need …

Bianca’s New Do

Photo of white Pomeranian

This is a new profile shot we are getting now with our dogs after their grooming session.  Bianca, the Pomeranian above, agreed to work with us while we settled on the studio lighting we needed to get the best photograph for all our Love to Groom (Glendale, CA) customers.  Isn’t she beautiful?  Maybe next week …

Dog Chips – Tiny But Important

Photo of Johnny Mitchell and his Pomeranian Austin at sunset

Johnny Mitchell and his Pomeranian Austin (“the Flyin’ Lion”) were familiar sights along the Venice Beach boardwalk for years.  They appeared at many Los Angeles skateboarding events and on nighttime television. Then, a year and a half ago, Austin disappeared. Considerable efforts were made to find the lost dog.  Rewards were offered, flyers posted, neighborhoods …

Welcome to L.A.

Photo of cute woman on scooter with Pomeranian in her backpack

Sometimes you just have to find a different way to navigate the famous Los Angeles traffic.  One way, as our happy passenger suggests above, is to find a cute scooter to buzz between the stopped and slow moving cars.  No wonder she’s smiling!  Or, is she on her way to Love to Groom in Glendale, …
