For those of you that have followed me for a while, you know that I don't do many brand deals. That's simply due to the fact that I'd like to keep my channel as genuine as possible, and only I choose to showcase products I truly believe in and support. Most, if not all of the products I use, I am not sponsored by. That being said, showcasing a rescue zoo in Denmark is much more important to me and my values. Please subscribe to Niko and his channel, in the support of his many rescued exotic animals ❤

This is such a beautiful cause to support! Thank you for presenting this incredible place. I feel sad to see how many times people are focused on following trends other than having animals they can afford for, specially with all the time and care.
You’re amazing to use your platform to help bring exposure to other rescue organizations!
I am on my way over to follow. That's totally awesome and I love this kind of content.
Can you do a collab with H@K? Kane and Harvey would be fun to watch
Nice!!! Very understandable 😊
Penelope is like "ma'am, no...not today thank you", so huge but so polite
That’s just large dogs really.
Polite, and a little headstrong.
Was just about to say that she is saying no so politely
This is why if I ever get a dog it'll be a big one lol
Gentle giants
@@starchild8822 just remember to train them in obedience and patience. They’re sweet, but they’re also quite powerful, and when you take them out for walks, they might just take you for a ride if they see a squirrel.
@@andrewb6194 haha I've got a choir voice I should be fine 😆
But tysm for the advice, I'll keep it in mind!
0:50 the sheer tenacity with which the drool stays attached to the dog while it shakes is incredible
I noticed also. 😂
I know, right? Some Visorak web-level elasticity, there...
+ it never detached lmao it just wrapped around her face
@@EmCeeDrue That's what they use to rescue people in the mountains
Yes, I noticed that! I used to want a Newfoundland, but then we got a St. Bernard/Lab mix (the poor-man's Newfoundland, lol)... great dog, but he made it necessary to keep a slobber towel in every room, and I know a Newfoundland would be much worse. Our next dog was a Bernese Mountain Dog, which many don't realize is a non-drooling breed due to their typically non-fluted lips and non-sagging jowls (although some genetic lines run more massive and can be an exception).
ICYDK: Generally speaking, when dogs drool, it's not usually because they produce more saliva than other dogs, it's because their mouths have a problem holding saliva (and/or they have some problem with swallowing normally, but that's less common). Sagging jowls allow saliva to pool up, where it thickens and leaks out of fluted/folded lips. The more sags and folds, the more and thicker the drool. Of course all dogs will temporarily produce more saliva at the smell or even thought of food, and even dogs without mouth sags and folds may drip a little, but it's typically thin and clear, rather than thick and frothy, because the saliva hasn't had a chance to pool up and thicken first.
the way she tries to politely push away the dryer is so cutee 😂 “no- no thank you please”
She isnt trying to push away the drier, she is trying to lift her arms so the groomer can dry underneath.
@@joshualittle877 I was thinking that the dogs command for shake, was the hand movement she was doing with the dryer.
I didn't order this. No thank you.
“It definitely feels like she’s throwing paws.” 😂😂
😂😂
Throwing Grinch paws.
Family a Newfie, Great Pyrenees, and Leonburger growing up. Amazing gentle giants, BUT if you decided to rough house pretty hard with them be prepared to catch those paws, had a few black eyes from playing with 120 puppies as a teenager hahahaha
Pawnches
It's impressive how long that drool held on for when she shook.
There's such a thing as drool bibs for giant breeds. Big Gentle Dogs has a great selection. There's also the Slobber Swabber. 😁 All sorts of drool-mitigation devices. Sincerely, a former Newf mom.
I sure wouldn’t want that drool in my house.
My grandparents had a St. Bernard...droooool everywhere!
Yep
@@leaflover3497, I hear ya, but once they are part of the family, you just deal with it !
Hi Vanessa - Thank you so much for talking about our work with the 600 animals here at the rescue zoo - and what a gentle giant
You're welcome!!
Godt gået gutter!!
Thanks for introducing us to your incredible work!
Elsker hvad i gør, begge to. Bliv ved med det. I gør en kæmpe forskel. 🥰
Anede ikke at vi havde en Rescue Zoo i Danmark - det er jo helt fantastisk! Følger med det samme ❤️
Penelope is a dream, it always breaks my heart that xxl dogs like her don't live as long as the tiny ones, thankfully when you have a gorgeous mix breed like her you they're less likely to have severe health problems from their purebred standards. I genuinely hope this gorgeous girl has a long healthy, & happy life. As well as all 600 of Nikos rescues. What a champ. 🖤
i think their organs have trouble keeping up with their massive size sadly.
@@CHLOCHLOLP As well as their joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue not being able to hold up under all that weight. The best things you can do to help a dog like that last longer is to keep their weight down and give them enough regular moderate exercise to keep their bones and tissue strong (as well as heart). Unfortunately, these dogs usually only get short bursts of energy and then just want to lay around and sleep the rest of the day,.. and if you're a lazy (or I suppose very busy) human, it's too easy to just let them, lol....
And then of course some breeds, including many of the big ones, are just genetically more predisposed to cancer.
I actually had some guy argue with me once in TH-cam comments when I stated that mixed breed dogs are generally healthier than pure bred dogs. He just couldn't wrap his head around that. When I explained the genetics behind why it's true, he attacked my writing skills and said I wasn't making sense and was contradicting myself, lol. I told him to ask any veterinarian and they'll confirm I'm right... wonder if he ever did that, lol..... :P
Mixed breeds are not more likely to be healthy than purebreds. Mixed breeds have mixed health issues.
A well breed purebred can be health tested and is cleared of genetic faults, a mixed cannot, and no ethical breeder will produce mixed breeds.
People think of purebred dogs as being less healthy because of puppy mills, who are not ethical in any way.
Mutts are great dogs but they should only be rescued, not bred. (mixing is not the same as making a new breed btw, but that is another story.)
Mixed breeds being more seen as healthy in general is only a symptom of most purebred dogs that you see being from puppy mills and not ethical breeders.
Ethical purebred dogs are health tested and produced by breeders who care about the health and purpose of the breed. A well bred purebred has predictability in its healthcare needs and will overall cost less in average vet bills.
Giant ones are the most relaxed. Sad these gentle giants die so early.
It's a miracle you survived that category 5 furricane when you started blow drying
Wow, St. Bernard and Newfoundland mix? That's a big, big doggy. Penelope seems like the perfect name for her too, somehow.
Agreed
Why mix?
@@ajardineira that's what the dog in this video was. Op is commenting about that particular dog.
Right?! Big name for a big girl
You wouldn't want to take a left hook from here though. 😉😄
I love how sweetly Penelope was swatting your dryer away. A big dog like that could easily knock you down but she was just like "please stop with the dryer, I don't like it. thanks." So cute! :D
Hooman, i kindly request of the removal of you drying device, it would make me the most graceful
I was just thinking the same thing! She could have put her on her bum but was just too kind to do it. Sweet, gentle giant 😍
She's just a sweet gentle giant
She is adorable 🥰
I love these dogs. I remember like ten years ago I was on vacation with family in canada. We went hiking on this mountain and this precious newfound came out of nowhere and acted like a hiking guide. He legit brought us to view points and was just super friendly. And yes we gave this dog many snacks and pets for the services he provided
That’s adorable!
Was he lost?
@@salamander8301 no I’m pretty sure he lived at this secluded house at the bottom of the trail. According to a few hikers we ran into, he’s a infamous trail guide lol
me hearing Denmark: ohhh ma motherland
Hearing Niko talk: oh yea definitely one of us
Never heard of this rescue, but I do now and so thankful we have people like Niko
by any chance , as a native, do you know why those white foxes were as fat as sheep ? It looks like they are on steroids, lol
@@lindapatterson9527 most likely from both the winter, but also since they came from a fur farm, they can be over fed easier
@@lindapatterson9527 Definitely overfeeding them to be able to skin more fur because the larger the surface area the more fur they can get.
As a St Bernard owner, the pawing can actually be a sign of love.
They love to hold hands when they're a bit stressed, as it helps to calm them down.
That’s adorable.
Really that's so sweet.
Damn that's adorable
You are killing us 🥰🥰🥰
Thats so cute
I just want to give Penelope a large hug. She's so adorable.
Same 💖
@CarbonCuber314. I love her so much 🤗
You and me both.
I read that some dogs don't like hugs bc they think ur gonna attack them, idk if its true, but just keep that in mind ig
Pupper looked gorgeous after her groom - obviously before as well - but she looked glam afterwards 😊
Also thank you for showcasing other people doing good work with beasties!
Penelope seemed like a whole lot of adorable wrapped up in one gigantic body. The whole time she was getting dried and lifting her paws, I almost thought she was saying “please dry under my arms “. And sure enough, once you started drying under her arms she seemed quite happy. Sooo sweet❣️
I could tell as you were bathing her just how THICK her fur must be. That definitely looked like a work out! When you were drying her, it almost looked like she was trying to make sure you didn't miss any spots, hahaha. And thanks to Vanessa, Niko, and everyone working so hard to help care for animals in need!
Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest TH-camr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear andy

That sweet-faced big baby "throwing paws" made my afternoon... So cuute.
Yes. I feel the same. Love the little paw hits! Just so adorbs! Def made my day!
You take care of this dog so nicely.
She could be a character in a children’s book! So sweet.
"I'm just going to blow dry you"
Penelope "No.... No thank you.... No.... Im OK.... Thanks all the same.... Im good.... Thankyou but no thankyou.... That's OK, but no.... No thankyou...."
OK but Niko is adorable. His accent, attitude, aspirations, everything 💜💜💜
true. I was thinking the same thing
He's cute, too!
Agreed
and he's easy on the eyes.
Was looking for this comment! 🥰
The world needs many, many more people like Niko and Vanessa 🌻
I love how she says “I encourage you to subscribe”!
I think a T-shirt with Penelope's face on it that says "Throwin' Paws" is something I need
YES
Yes! I hope she sees your comment!!
I'm in love. Look at how adorable that big, gentle soul is. However, I can only imagine how much hair and drool is all over her owners house. It's a 24/7 cleaning after that giant, cute baby.
My friend has two great Dane / saint Bernard mixes, and i can confirm: there is a permanent layer of fur in multiple places. My clothes are engulfed in fur by the time i leave. They are very cuddly, and very drooly. It's a lot of dog
@@AskMia411 I had a friend that had a Saint Bernard and when the dog shed and would get combed out, her fur would essentially fill the entire floor of the deck. It was crazy.
What’s so good about having drool and fur on u smh
Meh i like cats way better 😌 😏 🙂
She's our family pet and has been frightened of the dryer since a puppy grooming
"Stay to the end to see how beautiful she looks."
Said at the beginning when she already looks beautiful!
Penelope is magnificent! If I was her mommy picking her up, I'd feel like I was being handed the most amazing "fresh" bouquet ever. Wonderful spa event! Thank you for linking Niko's Rescue Foundation. Happy to have supported him. Cheers
Penelope was so polite about her "no thank you" even though her refusals were ignored. She looked amazing after her groom, so shiny and sleek! I once had to explain to the ENT doctor that my blood nose was the result of my enthusiastic Labrador Retriever head butting me while we were playing and that I was in fact quite safe at home. Max was a clumsy dog who had a very hard head lol.
Very cool feature of a rescue zoo in Demark, I'm just about to check out that channel. Thank you for bringing his message to us :)
lol i had a er doctor have a social worker come talk to me because my boxer got too excited one day when i got home and knocked me down i hit my head hard had a goose egg scratched my cornea and gave me a black eye .... all from one well placed jump lol
Same with my dog idk his breed but hes bout the size of a german shephard and allll muscles he gets excited tries to livk me and headbutts my nose instead lol
@@notyourgrammascraftscase6655 geezums 😂
My black lab accidentally busted my lip. She also scratched my eyeball one time. OMG that was painful! She was the sweetest dog in the world and wouldn't intentionally hurt a fly...for real. She was afraid of bugs and would run and hide upstairs if there was a bug crisis situation, lol. Then she would stick her head cautiously out of the bedroom door, looking to see when the crisis was over and the bug had been dispatched safely outside. We are a no-kill bug home, btw. Every effort is made to capture alive any bug or spider that managed to get inside our house and then set them free in the yard. 🐞🦗🕷️❤️
Lol too funny. Guess it is good that doctors ask.
My 17-year old cat Gary passed away 2 weeks ago. He's given me so much love, joy, and comfort over the years, and I miss him so terribly. I'm making a small donation to the Odsherred Zoo Rescue in his honor. It's not much (grad student budget is tight) but I'm sure Gary would like to thank them for helping his fellow animals
Aww...I'm so sorry.
Gary would love that I'm sure!🐈
I honestly believe that our pets are waiting on the rainbow bridge 🌈 to reunite with us.🌼
I’m so sorry 🥺😢💔
may gary rest in peace, good boys deserve good afterlives
ok all seriousness aside i feel like you named him gary just so that you could sing ‘gary come home’ if he ever got lost or ran away
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss!
SHE IS SO BIG AND CUTE! I want to hug her so bad!
Penelope isn’t saying no thank you by giving you paws. Saint Bernards hold hands when stressed or excited.. she is giving you love Vanessa… what a beautiful giant floof she is
back in pre-plague times, the hospital where I work would get periodic visits from this newfoundland therapy dog and his handler. picture if you will, nurses practically throwing themselves at this shaggy beast for pets, the two of them going into hospital rooms for private visits with patients, and the sheer excitement that would dift down the halls whenever a particular unit would get blessed with a visit. obviously they haven't been back since the world fell apart, but I still miss them.
I just watched a vid about the black plague and for a moment I was very confused
Your pre-plague comment had me thinking Black Death plague 🙄 not the one we’re going through now 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ but that is how future generations will think of this time.
Niko, the home you and your family have created is absolutely amazing!
Yaaaaaay, Odsherred Zoo!!! Thank you for giving a shout out and a small piece of limelight to this wonderful place!
Thank you for a wonderful channel with some lovely animals - greetings from Denmark
Vanessa, thank you for showcasing Niko and his sanctuary. Those animals need just as much love and care as we give our furry pet babies. You're the best.
The fact that there is still fur trading and wild animal smuggling boggles the mind. Also Penelope is glorious! This coming from someone who enjoys the company the cats the most.
Awnnn, she wanted someone to hold her hand while she was being attacked by the dryer.
She called herself puttin paws on the dryer. 🐾
She's such a beautiful dog. And so patient. Her fur looked so soft!
Can't grow tired of hearing the words "rescue soo"❤❤❤
The little polite "no thank you" taps were too cute 😂 What a sweet girl.
"Put that paw back where it came from, or so help me...!"
That's a big, big doggy. Penelope seems like the perfect name for her too.
OMG, she's GORGEOUS. So fluffy! Although I bet she drools like mad.
Such a good girl. She didn’t even bark once. And her “paw of no thank you” was incredibly adorable 🥰 🥺
She's so big, if she barks lady's K.O. 😂
Sorry your comment got stolen by the bot.
@@dreaminlayers Why are the bots doing this? What is the reason?!
@@dreaminlayers it’s ok. It’s not like I get paid to leave TH-cam comments lol
Does anyone else believe that she looks like an oversized Oreo?
Just make sure not to eat it
Omg she does and i cant unsee it
Double Stuff Oreo! My Australian Shepherd is named Oreo, but he is much smaller 🤣
@@joycemarie9702 Thin Stuffed?
Penelope is just so Canadian! Polite doesn’t capture her spirit with those huge paws xx I love 🇨🇦 Much love from 🇬🇧 x
Thank you Vanessa for your work and for giving Nicco a platform for his fabulous cause. Bless you both.
Great ambassador for her breed. So polite with the "no thank you" paws.
She reminds me of my recently passed Bernese mountain dog. So fun to see how some of these huge breeds have such calm temperaments. What a sweet beast
Bernese mountain, yes! Minus the brown parts
@@fdg92 FYI, Bern is a state (and city) of Switzerland.
Yes, I am recieving a crash course in large breeds watching this channel. Penelope and Kuma are my favorites. Many of the larger breeds are calm while my nine pound miniature Daschund was ready to fight at all times! I never could get that fight out of her, but it had a purpose. She saved me from being bitten by a poisonous snake when I was seven months pregnant. She was an elderly dog at the time, but that snake STIlL had no chance against her. She was not injured, but the snake met its demise due to my personal Rikki Tikki Tavi. I miss my girl, Sawga, daily. She is now one of the smallest alphas in doggie heaven, and she is enjoying belly rubs from the angels. 😇 She was a stray. I saved her as a puppy, and then she saved me.
Oh sorry for your loss
@@samasmr5671 Thank you :) She had a solid 9-10 years so she didn't do too bad for her breed before her hips started to give :). Still need a little more time lol, but I think I'm going to get another mountain dog in the future. I recommend them to anyone. They're bark and stance may come off aggressive, but they're true sweethearts at the core
We love how Penelope is soo gentle during the drying even though she tries to fight it but she is still gentle 😂
When you said, it definitely feels like she's throwing paws, I snorted. It was pretty funny. Also I live in Sweden, a neighbor to Denmark, so I will definitely check them out.
Penelope was just adorable. She's precious.
I have visited the zoo several times, both as a child and with my own children. It is an amazing zoo, and the staff is amazing at spreading awareness. I can highly recommend it!
That is so cool! I wish I could visit.
I'm from Germany so we might actually visit In Summer =)
@@neonice you should! The surrounding area is gorgeous too. You can combine it with Dragsholm Castle and a lot of other beautiful places.
My God, grooming Penelope is like grooming half horse and half bear. 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗 I wish I could give Penelope hugs, cuddles, and snuggles!
What a big beautiful girl!😍
Also, I can't believe I've never heard about Niko's rescue zoo. We're a small country, but apparently still big enough for gems like that to be "hidden" - thank you for spreading the message✨
You know you've got a big dog on your hands when they barely even fit in the frame of the camera, wow!!
Lol it was a challenge to tape her
I think standing for the 3 hour grooming must have been tiring for both you and Penelope. She is one beautiful dog!! Thank you for sharing Nick’s rescue zoo in Denmark.
It must be a great workout for the arms.
It shows a lot about the person/content creator who gives another channel a feature in your own video. ❤️❤️❤️
Penelope is beautiful, and the biggest dog I have ever seen! Thank you to Niko for hosting the animals in need. 🥰
Next week I'm starting my journey to become a certified groomer. Wish me luck. There was such glee on my supervisor and co-worker's faces when I told them I'd be fine learning how to groom cats.
GOOD LUCK!👍🌼

This is amazing! Penelope is beautiful and the rescue zoo you featured is truly wonderful! Your work is so appreciated!
The sanctuary is lovely! Bless everyone that cares enough to take care of our animal babies.
Grooming Penelope was a massive undertaking! She’s so sweet, though, that it must also have been a pleasure. Penelope looked absolutely gorgeous once her grooming was over. Good job! And Nico ( Niko?) is a fabulous person. Congrats to him and his family for establishing that rescue zoo in Denmark.
She’s beautiful. She wasn’t trying to punch you, bless her heart. She just wanted to make sure that you got her completely dry.
Penelope is very cute and I’m so very proud of those people who are helping all of those innocent animals who definitely don’t deserve just to be abandoned amazing.
I watch you from Denmark and I had no idea of this rescue zoo! Thank you so Much for your content and for sharing Nico’s video!
Frank Cuesta does something very similar to Niko but in Thailand. He is a Spanish man who has dedicated his life to save and care for animals. He deserves a shout out given his contribution to the animal world. BRAVO FRANK CUESTA

This made me so emotional. Vanessa do you even understand how amazing you are? I am so grateful that I found your channel and that it has grown so big in such a short amount of time. YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER 💙 I´ve been on TH-cam for over 16 years and followed hundreds of people. Not a single one (except for Mr Beast) have done so much to make the world a better place like you. I hope you see this comment and know how proud I am of you. You are using your platform to do something amazing and you have a strong voice when it comes to helping and saving animals. I live in Sweden (Denmark is right next to us) but I've never heard of Nikos rescue before. So thank you for giving him a voice so that he can reach more people and educate them.

@@ForeverLumoz Hi 🥰😊
You said everything that I've been thinking after watching this wonderful groom and clip from Nico!' Thank you! ❣
Penelope is such a love bug!! She's gorgeous and so well mannered.
I love these dogs because they always look so concerned.
That was an AWESOME thing to do - to give Niko the space on your channel to tell us about his rescue place for animals that have had a hard life or are too exotic to be kept in a household as a pet. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. I totally support the ban on animal fur being sold or animals being bred for their fur!!! I will definitely subscribe to his channel. Thank you for the recommendation x
She is a big girl. So much work for you to be done ☺️
The cost goes along with it. The lowest price I got quoted for my Newf was about $100, up to $175. They're such amazing dogs that they're worth it, though. Sweetest dogs you'll ever meet.
Awsome job on Penelope, she’s really a giant beauty. I’m so happy to see the rescue zoo also, what a worthy cause.
Another great video! Penelope is such a polite girl. Thanks for sharing Niko’s channel, I’m going to binge watch the show with 600 animals now!
I love how every dog looks worried during their soap-up while every cat looks grumpily-resigned during the same!

Oh man, I wasn’t planning on crying when I read the comments on this video. What a beautiful story. I can feel how much you love and miss your puppy. You must’ve been so proud of her when she saved you from a snake, especially since she killed it without even getting a scratch!! She must’ve been a force to be reckoned with, all wrapped up in a small package.
I have a chihuahua right now that I rescued from the streets. My neighbor called me one day and told me to keep my other chihuahua inside because the pound was coming to get a stray chihuahua that’s been running around in the neighborhood for a couple months. Nobody had been able to catch her up until that point because she was using holes that wild rabbits had dug under the fences to run between everyone’s back yards. My family and I have always had a special place in our hearts for rescuing animals, so when I heard that the pound was coming to get her, I knew I couldn’t just let the pound take her. So I got my sister and a friend to help me catch her, and we chased that poor dog for over two hours back and forth between 6 or 7 backyards. We finally caught her by splitting up and we had one person wait on the other side of a bunny hole while the other two herded her towards it. The poor baby screamed like she was being murdered when she slipped through and was grabbed. She gave me the craziest side eye I’ve ever seen from a dog the whole walk back to my house. In retrospect, it makes complete sense that she kept looking at me like that. She was abused terribly. My neighbor said somebody moved off and left her a few months back. Once I got her back to the house, I fed her some canned puppy food, and I thought she’d never stop eating. Poor thing was starved, and she was COVERED in fleas. It was crazy. So after she ate, I gave her a flea bath and picked them out of her fur as best I could. What absolutely blows my mind to this day is that she figured out I was helping her. In the middle of a flea bath with water from the garden hose in my back yard, she leaned up and kissed me on the nose. I didn’t know how special it was at the time, because it took a few days to realize how terribly she had been abused.
Originally, I was planning on rehoming her because I already had one dog, and I was about to go away for college. But after a few weeks, it became pretty clear that she wasn’t going to adjust to a new home very well, and she was so incredibly attached to me. I’ve had her for 9 years now, and she still is. She’s been the best damn dog I’ve ever had. She literally does anything I ask, as long as she understands. When I take her places, I carry her in a backpack carrier, and all I have to do to get her in it is open the backpack up and put it on the ground. She jumps right in it every time. She’ll jump in any bag, she really doesn’t care as long as she’s going. She’ll also let strangers pet her if I ask her to. The first time she did it, a friend of the family was wanting to pet her and was sitting on the couch across from me. I snapped my fingers and pointed to the empty seat beside my friend, and Lady got up from her spot beside me and walked over and sat next to my friend. My friend was stunned, and she said, “wow! She really does anything you ask, doesn’t she?”
She really does do anything I ask. It’s very sweet. It’s like she’s never forgotten the day I took her in, not even for a moment. She’s gotten used to strangers now, and letting them pet her when I tell her it’s okay, because I started taking her to work with me at a doctor’s office. She’s still a bit of an odd dog because of the abuse, and she needs patience with some things, but she really wants to please. It honestly breaks my heart, because all I did was feed her and bathe her, and she thinks she has to return the favor with the utmost loyalty and obedience.
But anyways, tell you all of that to say this: isn’t it crazy how a rescued dog never forgets what you’ve done for them? Your dog saved you from an actual venomous snake. How crazy is that? The bond between a dog and their person can be so incredibly deep, and it’s so special. It’s absolutely crazy and so incredibly sweet how they never forget, and they’ll love you their whole lives for it.
Animals always pay kindness back ten folds... I had the same incident happen to me too, only, it was my cat who saved me from a spitting cobra.. I took her home when she was a kitten, all drenched in the rain and abandoned at a bus stop near my house.. I named her Pudu (in case you're wondering, her name means grape in Korean, and it's my favourite fruit).. Pudu is still alive today but she's really old.. Most of her teeth has fallen out but she still demands to eat her kibbles so I always buy tiny kibbles meant for kittens and she just swallows them whole.. I dread the inevitable day when I would have to part from her, but for now, she's gonna get everything that she deserves and more from me..
Penelope is a sweet angel who can throw hands.
I had a Saint Bernard for many years she loved to be groomed. She also would lay in front of us when we vacuumed and insisted we vacuum her belly.🤣
Having a dog like Penelope is quite a responsibility!! Except for being “handsy”, she was a good gurl! 🥰. Those big paws look like fluffy bedroom slippers.
Gold Stars for you for showing us the place in Denmark doing such good work. It’s way past time for all fur farms to be outlawed!
Yes indeed!
What a beautiful girl!!
I am still fairly new to the grooming world.
That being said, I was clipping a big dog's nails yesterday, and my stupid self got behind him for his back feet. He kicked backwards like a horse and got me square under my left eye, I'm lucky it wasn't my eyeball!
I have a bruise but that's about it.
Last time I'll ever clip from behind LOL.
Glad you're okay!
Ah man I hope your feeling better. I feel your pain. I got clipped across the eye with my pup’s nails while we were playing. If I hadn’t been quick enough, her nails would have taken my eye out. Luckily she got the side near my eye and a bit of my eyelid 😅
@@tjones7341 I'm feeling a lot better! It was tender for a day or two after but it's much better now.
@@tjones7341 thank you for the well wishes! Hope you're doing well too!
Newfoundlands are smart af too. One got out of somebody's house down the street (this dog knew me too since I walked past him and was accosted nearly every day), walked up to me at night, far from home, barked at me, then when I walked up to him he lead me back to his house, sat down at the door and barked at me. I was pretty blown away with that.
Penelope is just wonderful and she looked even prettier after her groom. You did an amazing job on her. 😁😁
That drool is epic. Even I don't drool that much when asleep.
She's a sweet giant. Glad you were wearing the beekeeper hat, to protect you from the massive shedding haha

@@alexisgrunden1556 haha yesss furnado
What a big beautiful girl! Penelope is simply gorgeous and beautifully groomed!
It's really amazing how friendly this breed is towards humans. But as it's bred to be a helper and savior it's logic. What a wonderful dog 💖
she's such a gentle giant!
With her paws in the dryer it’s like she’s saying “my manicure with Swarovski diamonds now peasant!” 😂😂😂
She's such a gentle giant. So polite
Our dog (a big, fluffy Bernese) used to offer his paw repeatedly when he was trying to tell us he wanted to go outside for a pee. He would also put his paw on your forearm and then look at the door.
I love elderly dogs. I can only imagine the stories they could tell if they could speak. Especially the dogs who worked alongside hoomans
7 years old is not elderly...lol
@@MusicLovingFool1 it is for big dogs, most of them only live 8-10 years :( but Penelope still had that young look!
@@MusicLovingFool1 It is when the average life expectancy is 9
@@MusicLovingFool1 M8 most dogs get to around 10
Thank you for sharing Nikko and the rescue zoo with us also. 💜 Wonderful work.
The cute pooch thumbnail and the insane title of the video I can’t help but watch this LOOOOOOLLLL
I've only been back to back watching you for less than a week, but have come to have such a respect for you. Thank you for all you do, both for your clients and for animals far and wide. I just love you!
Penelope is the name of one of my great-grandmothers!!
In Hellenic🇬🇷 the name Πηνελόπη/Pinelòpi has a wonderful meaning!
Πήνη / píni which means thread/yarn
And
Λέπω / lèpo which means unwind and weaving
So, Πηνελόπη / Penelope means the one that weaves wonderfully, the artist weaver.
I bet you can weave a whole blanket with all that hair she lost😂
What a gorgeous dog. Thank you, Vanessa & thanks for introducing us to Niko & the rescue zoo.
What a beautiful girl! Our last baby was black and white and also had freckled paws. I'll always love black and white doggies!
I loooove your channel. Not only is it very satisfying to see the “after” shots of the beautiful grooming you perform but the sounds of the washing, hair clipping, and vigorous brushing give me the warm fuzzies - it’s like being a kid at the hairdresser and is so relaxing! Thank you madame, and keep up the great work on all the fabulous creatures!
