I’m not the only one having a blast in Chicago! Samson and I have been here for almost a year in June and we are loving every changing season! This winter, I let Samson’s hair get longer than I ever had before and when I tried to brush him, I realized that he was matted underneath. I knew his next grooming would have to be the ol’ springtime buzz cut.

Soggy Paws was recommended to me by Jim Quinn, a native Chicagoan who knows this city like the back of his hand, and he was right! Paul and Kevin are the super far out owners and sheer delight to be around! Their love for both dogs and people was exemplified at “Yappy Hour”!

Let me tell you a little story about a fellow named, Samson…

Okay, we don’t have time for a long drawn out story, but suffice it to say… Samson is my friend, my buddy, my dog. And I love him. Very much.

There are a lot of dog lovers, like me here in Chicago and we all want to take care of our little friends. They need their nails trimmed, teeth brushed, hair cut, la-la-la… One might think it a good idea to buy some clippers, a nail file and toothpaste… and then just have at it, BUT if you have ever tried to groom a squiggly dog, in less than 3 hours, you would know how easy it is to make the little guy look like he just stepped off the set of Fraggle Rock. Trust.

So, as I was searching for a place to groom my best pal, I found Streetervile Pet Spa and Salon. I spoke with the owner, Marion, and was convinced that Samson was going to be in good hands. And, of course, he was!

Beware: If you thought Samson was handsome before… hold on to your socks!
