In July of 2007, as part of Gretchen’s 40th birthday celebration, a little Yorkshire Terrier entered our lives and changed them forever. Courtesy of Judy Swanson of Unique Yorkies and Spoil ‘em Rotten Grooming in West Reading....if you want aYorkie, see a professional breeder like her!

Though, at 10 lbs and 10” tall, he’s a bit big for his breed, Angus is tiny compared to the beloved Rottweilers that used to grace our home for almost 20 years.

Even though we did not specfically intend it, Angus has become a real member of our staff at the salon and is the official greeter and mascot ... if he’s on duty (he needs days off too, ya know) he’ll likely to greet you at the entrance of the salon with his stub tail wiggling in delight.

At the end of October 2010, Judy again delivered us another bundle of joy, named Kelcey. However, after a few days with us, her personality started to shine through and ,what we believe, her true name came out. Tippy has been part of the Salon Bliss and Hugo families for only a short time but we just love her!

If you ask her, she’s in charge of security, if you ask anyone else she’s in charge a being a typical dainty, beautiful, stubborn Yorkie!

Yorkies....like potato chips and pistacchios...you can’t have just one!

Yes, Angus and Tippy are Deva-dogs... Gretchen grooms Angus in a puppy cut using the same professional curly-hair cuttting techniques she learned at Deva and he is bathed with various Deva products depending on the time of year. So for those of you that think you don’t have curl to your hair, check out some show pictures of Yorkies and then have a look at Angus.... Salon Bliss can help anyone take care of their curls!
