SUZANNE'S BOOMER
Boomer is our 4 year old Great Pyrenees.  He came to live with us after his goat herd was sold.  I had gone to his former owners "just to take a look at him".  Needless to say, I fell in love.  Boomer loves to be with people.  Even though our cats don't really think it is fun, he likes to play with them too.  He loves to be groomed, which is a good thing, because at 110 pounds with a double coat, there is a lot of him to groom!  He truly is a gentle giant.  Boomer has a cool,  mellow personality, which is demonstrated by the way he puts his front feet on the veranda railing to 'stand' beside you, and by how he wraps his big, white paw around your leg to say "More cuddles please".  Rather than playing games, he sees his role as a guardian, true to his ancestry.  Boomer is our third family dog.  We also had a rescued mixed breed from up north and another Great Pyrenees who will always be a part of our family memories.

SUZANNE JURGENS, AHT, NATURAL DOG GROOMER

• Suzanne is pleased to be joining Casey’s Pet Pages as a natural groomer and Animal Health Technician.  She will be providing tips to help us provide Living Wellness day-to-day care to our pets.  To contact Suzanne:  Suzanne@CaseysHealthHelp.com 
• Suzanne’s job allows her to work within the framework of her passion for animal wellness and dignity.  The art of natural dog grooming actualizes total respect for an animal as it is the least intrusive and most gentle way to groom a dog and it is combined with common sense education about the day-to-day care of the animal.  This respect of nature is very much a part of Suzanne’s vision of Living Wellness.
• Suzanne is keenly aware of the therapeutic value pets provide.  She never ceases to be amazed at their unconditional love and their acceptance of us as unique individuals.  Suzanne is also aware that the respectful relationship between the owner and the pet needs to be reciprocal.  To ensure a healthy and well behaved pet, we must provide the pet with Living Wellness everyday, treat the pet with respect and be consistent in the messages we give the pet.  Suzanne believes that pets provide us with wellness, comfort and caring.
