Most people think I'm Izzie and my husband is Pete but really Pete and Izzie are my dogs. Izzie is a 13 year old Maltese and Peyton, or as his friends call him, Pete, is a Powder Puff Chinese Crested-ish Mix. We rescued Pete about 8 years ago.I have been a groomer for a little over 3 years and I opened Pete &amp; Izzie's Social Club in October of 2021."<br></p><figure id="figure-7d964uvz1lk74256i"><img id="7d964uvz1lk74256i" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/32Tu2h9mEb4GjdWEMKEmBY189Xilx2i0vaGmzgpEuVHqrqoTvEv7el9PjaDKviI6.jpg" alt="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 50%;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="https://www.peteandizzies.com/" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="50%" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/32Tu2h9mEb4GjdWEMKEmBY189Xilx2i0vaGmzgpEuVHqrqoTvEv7el9PjaDKviI6.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 50%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">https://www.peteandizzies.com/</figcaption></figure><p>We are big rescue dog lovers so hearing how inspirational your pups are makes us feel closer to your story. <strong>Now, can you share what led you to choose this path?</strong></p><p>"I had been a sales person for my entire adult career life. I have always loved building relationships with my clients, being an integral part of growing a business and being the face of a company. In 2020, as a result of COVID, I was laid off from my company and was left to do some serious soul searching. Although I always loved being in sales, I just couldn't see myself being a sales girl for the next 30 years. I needed to find something that made me feel challenged but also something I was genuinely excited about.<br>I was lucky to have a very comfortable and almost kindred-spirit relationship with my dogs' groomer, Maria. Her and I were just randomly talking one day and she said as she was nearing retirement it was her dream to teach and potentially sell her grooming business. Almost instantly my wheels started turning.&nbsp; I thought, well I love dogs, grooming can't be THAT hard and being a business owner would fulfill a lifetime goal of mine.<br>My husband and the rest of my family were instantly on board and supportive with my career change and excited to see me following my dreams!<br>I will say I was totally wrong about learning grooming. Grooming is not easy at all! From learning the actual technical skill, to the extreme physical toll on your body, to the spiritual, energy based connection that animals feel, it was and continues to be a big learning curve. Every dog is so different that you have to be creative in almost every aspect of the grooming process to ensure the best experience.<br>The most rewarding part, so far, is just seeing your vision come to life! I took an empty, not very pretty store front, and turned it into a happy, colorful, dog-filled, thriving business. It certainly didn’t happen overnight and there were, and still are, many sleepless, stress-induced nights but it’s happening! I keep showing up every day and my incredible clients are following!<br>I have had my hands on every single aspect of the business and I’m often amazed how things have worked out. Grateful is the biggest word that comes to mind. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to do this every day!"</p><figure id="figure-07qpj1a9olk747w3x"><img id="07qpj1a9olk747w3x" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/17Dm68fNWqEUdNp8gIxkMo6E73j3QFqKivgjhbB0ZanpZgTKWEOkzFPwtkPEwpDn.jpg" alt="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 3/2; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="3:2" data-caption="https://www.peteandizzies.com/" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/17Dm68fNWqEUdNp8gIxkMo6E73j3QFqKivgjhbB0ZanpZgTKWEOkzFPwtkPEwpDn.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 3/2; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">https://www.peteandizzies.com/</figcaption></figure><p>We can definetly relate to changing career paths and following your heart since its pretty much how Tails and Paws Photography happend as well.</p><p><strong>Thinking long-term, where do you see yourself and your business/organization in 5</strong><br><strong>years?</strong></p><p>"In the next few months Pete &amp; Izzie’s will be expanding! I have taken over the unit next door and will be growing our grooming services by hiring additional groomers and welcoming more dogs to the Social Club!&nbsp;</p><p><br>I would definitely like to see Pete &amp; Izzie’s continue to grow! In the next 5 years I see us with multiple locations or further expanding our existing space. At the moment I’m focused on offering the absolute best grooming experience and hiring the most passionate and inspired groomers. I would like to see the focus be more on grooming than the socializing/daycare but I also believe that the universe has a bigger plan. So I plan to keep showing up every day with an open, curious and grateful heart and we’ll see where that take us."</p><figure id="figure-824ewjj75lk74bvv3"><img id="824ewjj75lk74bvv3" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/35FJKhR0bmbYv3oIPmyeoOGB9hihBXyDtbQVlmjzMq6Hk8YjiIxMIX7wT0aayWM9.jpg" alt="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined 40%;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="https://www.peteandizzies.com/" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="40%" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/35FJKhR0bmbYv3oIPmyeoOGB9hihBXyDtbQVlmjzMq6Hk8YjiIxMIX7wT0aayWM9.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined 40%;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">https://www.peteandizzies.com/</figcaption></figure><p>We are so excited and happy for your expansion and can;t wait to see all your short-term and long-term goals come true!</p><p><strong>Please share with us any fun fact or life changing experience</strong><br></p><p>"I am really big on the energy that we put out into the world. Your thoughts and actions are contagious. Dogs definitely absorb and feel what we feel. I strive daily to create a joyful and peaceful environment for my clients. I think it’s important to not take on too many dogs during the day and stay constantly aware of how you’re feeling. If you’re stressed the dogs feels that. If you’re happy and enjoying what you’re doing, then they feel that too!<br>I am also a Reiki practitioner so I’m often taking a little extra time with the pups to provide energy healing. It’s incredible to see how the dogs positively respond to Reiki!"</p><figure id="figure-oxrd7et2zlk74ezx2"><img id="oxrd7et2zlk74ezx2" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/32n7rMYiRqdf1R2XP9OPhkFtr8A4VaZYri7X6SltTVjJyi3u92BOHuN9AHofeOmq.jpg" alt="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="Tails and Paws Photography" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/32n7rMYiRqdf1R2XP9OPhkFtr8A4VaZYri7X6SltTVjJyi3u92BOHuN9AHofeOmq.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"><figcaption class="body-normal text-gray-500 mt-2">Tails and Paws Photography</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Lastly, share with us what a perfect day with your pet looks like (favorite location, activity or travel spot)</strong></p><p>"A perfect day with Pete &amp; Izzie… well, is it totally cheesy to say that any day that I get to spend with my doggies is a perfect day!? My dogs are a little bit on the lazy side so the perfect day with them would probably consist of a short little walk so they can sniff around, relaxing on a blanket in a shaded, breezy spot and then snuggling up on the couch to binge something on TV. They really are the best snugglers ever!

Dog Friendly Spots in South Florida

<p>July 4th is a time for celebration, but for dogs, it can be a stressful and scary time. The loud noises from fireworks can cause anxiety and fear in dogs, leading to them running away, hiding or accidentally harming themselves. As a dog parent, it's important to take precautions to ensure your furry friend stays safe and calm during this holiday. At the end of this blog we have left a couple of links with helpful tools and information.</p><h2>Preparing for July 4th</h2><p>If your dog is particularly sensitive to loud noises, it's best to prepare in advance for July 4th. Here at Tails and Paws Photography we have two dog CEO's and one of them is terrified of fireworks so here are some helpful tips we have learned over the years. </p><p>One option is to speak with your veterinarian about anti-anxiety medication that can help your dog stay calm. We have also gone with a more natural option which is CBD. &nbsp;Secondly, creating a safe space for your dog in your home, such as a quiet room with their bed and toys, where they can retreat to if they feel scared is algo a great idea (if their crate trained even better!) Using rooms without windows is a major plus!</p><figure id="figure-4oc0zjshplj78ih8i"><img id="4oc0zjshplj78ih8i" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1422565096762-bdb997a56a84?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxkb2clMjBpZCUyMHRhZ3N8ZW58MHx8fHwxNjg3NDQzNzY4fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="dog fireworks" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1422565096762-bdb997a56a84?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxkb2clMjBpZCUyMHRhZ3N8ZW58MHx8fHwxNjg3NDQzNzY4fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Keep Your Dog Indoors</h3><p>On July 4th, it's best to keep your dog indoors. Even if your dog is used to being outside, the loud noises from fireworks can cause them to panic and run away. Make sure all windows and doors are securely closed and consider playing calming music or leaving the TV on to help drown out the noise.</p><h2>Identification and Leash</h2><p>It's important to make sure your dog is properly identified in case they do escape. Make sure they are wearing a collar with an up-to-date ID tag and consider microchipping them as an extra precaution. Additionally, keep your dog on a leash when outside to prevent them from running away.</p><figure id="figure-c06xvddnwmlj78im4p"><img id="c06xvddnwmlj78im4p" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/1cf1ZYHEap5ZYi23RvZeicUgP1IYK6cprY0xmvmGoI5WFb9QETEeyM9QS9pqy8s0.jpg" alt="dog collar" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center 10%;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="10%" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/1cf1ZYHEap5ZYi23RvZeicUgP1IYK6cprY0xmvmGoI5WFb9QETEeyM9QS9pqy8s0.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center 10%;"></figure><h3>Avoid Fireworks</h3><p>Avoid taking your dog to fireworks displays and keep them away from any areas where fireworks are being set off. Even if your dog seems calm, the sudden loud noises can cause them to panic and become scared.</p><figure id="figure-ocjketgk2lj78ipyo"></figure><h3>Check on Your Dog</h3><p>Make sure to check on your dog regularly throughout the day and evening.

Dogs and July 4th

<h2>Introduction</h2><p>Choosing the perfect location for a photo shoot can be a daunting task, but it is essential to ensure that your photos turn out just the way you want them to. The location you choose can make or break your shoot, so it's important to take the time to consider your options carefully.</p><h3>Consider the Theme</h3><p>The first thing you need to consider when choosing a location is the theme of your shoot. What kind of look and feel are you going for? Do you want a natural, outdoor setting or a more urban, cityscape vibe? Where does your pet feel comfortable? Once you have a clear idea of the theme, it will be easier to narrow down your</p><figure id="figure-9lf7d3dnulj2w14xm"><img id="9lf7d3dnulj2w14xm" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/3aWiQ0A4JVDfDsKwtPhsBJlbJtINq3pP11BSThz00FzB7ztcHnJhevFngPiSP5ZI.jpg" alt="Greyhound brindle dog running happily at the beach" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/3aWiQ0A4JVDfDsKwtPhsBJlbJtINq3pP11BSThz00FzB7ztcHnJhevFngPiSP5ZI.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: var(--head-fontFamily); font-size: 28px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;" data-mce-style="font-family: var(--head-fontFamily); font-size: 28px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Lighting</span><br></p><p>Lighting is a critical element in photography, and it can make all the difference in your photos. Consider the time of day and the direction of the light when choosing your location. If you're shooting outdoors, you'll want to avoid harsh midday sun and opt for the softer light of early morning or late afternoon. Especially in the South Florida sun, you want to be mindful of your pets and how the heat can affect your four-legged friend.</p><figure id="figure-iwwkb2r24lliyvdc8o"><img id="iwwkb2r24lliyvdc8o" src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/cyb6dUBM7l3qhUwgG6G2nY3x49N0igogb7zWJiKoLGRoEEpMnDrSuqOixwmcbcf6.jpg" alt="sunset photography" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="no-rounded" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-mce-src="https://durable.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/blocks/cyb6dUBM7l3qhUwgG6G2nY3x49N0igogb7zWJiKoLGRoEEpMnDrSuqOixwmcbcf6.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Comfort</h3><p>Finally, consider the comfort of your subjects and your team. If you're shooting outdoors, make sure you have access to shade, water, and restroom facilities. If you're shooting in a public place, be aware of any potential safety concerns and take steps to ensure everyone's comfort and well-being.</p><figure id="figure-g99a15apcliyvdmco"></figure><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Choosing the perfect location for your photo shoot requires careful consideration and planning. Keep these factors in mind when making your decision, and don't be afraid to get creative and think outside the box.
