a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

So said the gifted and insightful Groucho Marx, comedian and probably by necessity good reader of non-verbal gestures, body language and emotions to better tune his spontaneous comedic art.

I’m no comedian but I specialize in reading the non-verbal communications offered by dogs to better move in their world. I make the grooming experience more successful and stress free for both me and your dog by listening and watching all the things your dog is telling me. His world and what he thinks of mine are displayed in countless gestures and subtle noises.

Am I a dog whisperer? Who knows. But I am a devoted dog listener and watcher, and I can communicate in kind.

On Saturday night 10/09 Princess left this world to rejoin her mother. She developed an inoperable inguinal hernia and had to be euthanized. We are profoundly saddened at her loss and hope her little soul is at peace.

Princess

Princess has had a hard time lately. Her sweet loving owner suddenly died. Then, while in the “care” of new owners, she was badly burned on her back.

Princess has recovered, mostly, here at Canine Comforts, and has shown how sweet and loving she is despite what has happened. She really is a good little dog who deserves all the love a devoted new owner could give her.

Princess is being sponsored by the Bulverde Area Humane Society. Any donations for her care will be greatly appreciated by that good organization. Their number is 830-980-2247. Meanwhile, Princess is available for adoption to the right person and can be seen here at the shop. She is five years old, weighs about five precious pounds, is house broken, and certainly is a real princess of a dog.

Hadji has been adopted by a nice young family in east Bulverde. Now he runs in the backyard with another Chihuahua, two Border Collies and a two year old big brother. They seem to be pretty happy together, one more success story!

Now I’m sure there will be more little souls like Hadji who will pass through our lives on their way to a new home. Wish everyone well by closing your eyes for just a moment and making a vision of a happy little puppy face. Thinking love creates love.
