I am forever grateful that I learned a lot from my father when it comes to improvements and repairs. Being a women owned business there are a lot of repairs that need to happen and I am forever grateful to have learned how to take on a project. Today I replaced a motor on one of our pedicure units!

I don’t usually post personal info on my business social media page, however, I am using this as a PSA that I think needs to be shared in order to hopefully help others that may face the same situation that our family has had to deal with.

I haven’t posted about this until today, but now that we’ve settled (meaning she paid the vet bills), I feel the time is right. This is lengthy, but I hope you’ll read to the end.

On September 2, 2025, Mark and I were walking Charlie—our 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier. As we passed the mailboxes on our private street, an off-leash dog saw Charlie and charged. I bent down to pick Charlie up, and in the chaos, I was bitten. The dog grabbed Charlie by the throat and wouldn’t let go.

What followed was something I will never forget.

Mark and two neighbors did everything they could to get the dog to release him. During this, the owner yelled at Mark to stop because he was “hurting her dog,” while we were desperately trying to save Charlie.

Eventually, I had to squeeze the dog’s nose closed so it couldn’t breathe, and that’s when it finally let go.

Charlie was rushed to the vet. His injuries were life-threatening. He required two surgeries, multiple drains, and extensive stitching. He is physically healing, but emotionally, he is not the same dog.

What’s been difficult is the lack of accountability. The owner never reached out—not even after sitting across from me in the ER. She claims she was told I had to contact her. Regardless, when we spoke with the police later, they were shocked we hadn’t been contacted sooner. I want to be clear—I am not seeking medical bills for myself. I only sought reimbursement for Charlie’s vet bills and the week I missed from work due to my injuries.

She also accused Mark of hitting her, when he was only trying to protect Charlie.

I also want to be clear—I have not spoken to anyone in her neighborhood. If she feels shunned, that is not something I created.

And here’s what I need people to understand:

If you encounter an aggressive dog—or any animal—please report it. If it’s not documented, it is treated as a first case, and nothing is on record. Without that record, there is no history to show a pattern of aggression. Too many people don’t report when they should.

This may have been preventable—or maybe by sharing this, I can help prevent it for someone else.

If you choose to have a pet, you are responsible for its behavior—and for the safety of others.

Please leash your dogs. Please report aggressive incidents.

I share this not out of anger, but out of hope that no one else has to go through something like this.

This amazing human has dedicated 20 years of her life to Oasis Day Spa. Lisa is a true example of what it means to show up—for her family, her children, and her work—with grace, responsibility, and balance. I am so grateful for all she has given over the years. Thank you, Lisa, for being such an important part of Oasis.

I always tell my clients to come see me with an idea of what they want to achieve. This was the best today! I went to pick her up from the relaxation area and she handed me this. I love it, she knew what she wanted and she got it! Warmed my heart and put a smile on my face.

I’m back!!!! After a very long 5 month recovery I am back! I am working part time the next few weeks and then back to full time. I want to thank all of my clients for being patient. I am doing all services except pedicures. I am so sorry but don’t think the new joint in my hand can take it ☹️. We have lots of great team members who can do pedicures! Hope to see you all soon and great to be back doing what I ❤️
