I took my island shepherd, Tina, to be groomed by Margaret in her Jackson Hole WY salon. I was so impressed with the compassion and comfort concern she had for my dog. Tina was shedding her winter coat with mated chunks on her hind end. Once I got her back she had a sleek and shiny hair coat to stay cool for summer. I could tell Tina was very happy to have all the undercoat taken out as she was bouncing all over. I would definitely recommend Paw Spaw for any of your grooming needs.

A special indoor play area is designated for pets to await their owners with supervised social interaction. I only use the best in grooming products and equipment and attend grooming seminars regularly to expand my skills and knowledge in the grooming industry. Specialized techniques are offered to rid your pet of that unsightly shedding undercoat that covers everything in your home and will make your pet look and feel like the pampered pet they are. Do you hate that shaved look that your pet has been getting at other groom shops and prefer a more breed specific trim? I am proficient at scissoring and would love to show you just how plush your pets' coat can be. From a simple bath to a full groom, trimming nails and cleaning ears are always included in the service-- as well as lots of hugs and kisses. Stop in for a visit! ONLY THE BEST FOR YOUR PET.

    TAPS is a private, no-kill shelter. As such, they have implemented strict rules regarding…read moreadoption. It starts with completing an application for adoption! A person will be informed if s/he is acceptable as an adoption candidate. Further, that adoption approval is not permanent, there is an end date about four months out or so. Although I understand their desire to screen people, I wish they could develop a less "encountering" method. Further, it believe it would be helpful were some customer service training be initiated. Given the one star ratings, I can only assume the majority of the people's interaction with TAPS is an off-putting experience. That said, they do take good care of the animals. The dog I adopted from TAPS was at their shelter for years and was with a foster family before I adopted her. She's a Staffy at 51.8#'s of well-behaved love. It's obvious TAPS took good physical and mental care of her. And in defense of TAPS' uber-caution, my dog is attractive and could well get adopted by someone who isn't able to manage her.

    You will find here at TAPS, amazing affordable fees for adoptable pets, as well as many potential…read morepets to choose from. What you will not find, is transparency or understanding. Upon application approval, I was told my choice dog was not allowed for adoption under ASSUMPTION, no DNA knowledge, no testing, but assumption the breed was that of an aggressive breed (pitbull). My landlord, had approved this dog after questioning as neither of us saw Pitbull Terrier in the mix. Upon asking for DNA testing, I was told this is a post adoption process. When asked if there is no definitive way to tell her breed, when I may visit the dog in question? (Nacho Fries). It is only now, I find out there is a line ahead of me for an animal to come home. Rather than operating in home readiness and preparedness post approval, it is a First Come First Serve basis. Which, for a No Kill Shelter? Seems to be a relatively poor processing style. I would have loved to walk away with this sweet girl, but upon a return call to potentially look at another available dog? The same circumstances. No understanding of when the visit is scheduled if I can leave with my new companion that same day, nothing. I completely find a accumulative 2.5 star rating to this facility to be unremarkably kind.

    Review Visit: August 9th, 2016…read more Somehow I am usually the last to learn of cool places. Farmdale Reservoir is no different. I have driven past signs for Farmdale many times in my life and just thought it was a giant water reservoir or something like that. Then one day I decided to google it to see what it was. Well, talk about kicking yourself in the ass for taking forever to do something. I came out here and hiked for a few hours and enjoyed every second of it. I decided to hike the 'tough' trails and they proved to be a challenge. Especially if you were mountain biking. While I only hiked about 4 miles and it was just a small section of the map, I was very impressed and will be back in 2017. The entire area is beautiful and far enough removed from society that you do feel isolated, but not far from help and home. This could be a great place to bring dogs, if you have one and they are properly trained. They say Illinois is boring... but we have beautiful places like this to help dispel that notion.

Coming from Indiana I didn't realize what was here til introduced recently and quickly fell for this lil slice of Gatlinburg. Parking isn't well marked but just like life I kept going until I found what I wanted. A decent Saturday morning gave clear nice weather without a crowd, will definitely be back!

    The Buffalo Trace Prairie is a system of trails that are on the far western edge of the Lake of the…read moreWoods Forest Preserve. To be sure, there is much more to Lake of the Woods than just Buffalo Trace. The easiest entrance is located just north of Exit #172 off I-74 in Mahomet, on the left across from the botanical garden and before you get to the Early American Museum. Can't miss it. The trails run all through this medium-sized forest preserve and are perfect for jogging, biking, or dog walking. There is one major asphalt trail that runs E-W and several smaller trails that are really just places that they mow the prairie down every week or so. The asphalt trail is a little more than a mile long, and connects to a trail that is 5 mi in total. The intertwined grass trails are much longer all told, but since there are so many, you can customize as long or short of a walk as you want. The terrain is rolling hills, and the biome(s) are a pleasant transition from prairie to woods. None of the trails that I was on were at all challenging or in disrepair. I would suggest that if you intend to take the grass trails, take a good long look at the map before you leave the trail head, or bring one along. Thankfully, there are not really that many people making use of this park, which is cool. If you make use of the trail map, the trail in the far south of this park (by the highway) actually dead-ends and does not connect back to the parking lot, as is indicated on the map. Not a big deal, just a lil back-tracking. I needed the exercise.
