A limit, not a suggestion

Here’s an email sent on behalf of a dog grooming client. Name changed for confidentiality.

Like usual, I ask for any stories (mundane or exciting) that have happened to them recently. In this case, she’d recently been pulled over for doing 5mph over the speed limit.


Whoosh! That was me, zooming down my local street at a breezy 50mph in a 45mpg zone—not exactly warp speed, but apparently enough to catch the discerning eye of the boy in blue.

There I was, minding my business, pondering over the perfect canine coiffures, when those unmistakable flashing lights popped up in my rearview.

You see, 50 in a 45 seemed negligible to me. I mean, come on, a mere 5 mph over doesn’t even mess up a hairdo in the backseat.

But Officer Friendly felt otherwise. “It’s a speed LIMIT, Daisy,” he chided, “not a speed suggestion.”

His words stuck with me the whole drive back to the salon.

Limits, suggestions… That’s when it clicked. Grooming your furry friend is less about suggestion and more about defining the limits, those perfect edges that turn a shaggy pup into a polished pooch.

And that’s what we passionately sculpt here at Daisy Mae’s. It isn’t by chance that after 25 years of trimming, clipping, and loving every dog that wags in, we’ve perfected the art of pet grooming.

This isn’t your average back-of-the-minivan, buzz-and-sniff approach. No, no. We take your scruffy companions and, within a precise 45-minute window, transform them from shag to swag, time limit guaranteed—or it’s on us.

No messy aftermath, no endless waits, just a bunch of happy tails wagging out of our pristine pet haven, every hour, on the hour.

Our one-hour transformation promise isn’t a casual suggestion—it’s our hard limit. And unlike my recent roadside chat, it’s one limit you and your furry friend will be delighted to meet.

Gone are the days of looking down at your pup and wondering if they’ve been part-time adventuring in a thicket.

Step into Daisy Mae’s, where “trim and terrific” trumps “tangled and tragic.” Put us to the test—I dare you.

Ready for your dog’s next style session without the fuss? Book an appointment where limits lead to splendor, and sip on tranquility of knowing you’ll be out the door, dog in tow, looking like a million bucks well within the hour. And if not, you just got a free hair cut.

And before I sign off, a big shout-out to Officer Friendly, reminding us that in grooming, like in life, sometimes it’s the limits that lead to excellence.

Tail wags and grins,
Daisy “Limit breaker” Mae
