Hi all
I have just been to the police station as I have been hounded with scam calls. I can't get on with work. The kind officer has gone through my system and blocked all scammers.
I have heard that phone systems can mistake ordinary calls for scams. If you are coming up as blocked please let me know to rectify it.

Cheers

"This is Caroline. She moved overseas with all her animals.
She never wrote on Facebook "I'm giving up my cats and dogs because I'm moving" or I'm having a baby or I've had the animal a year, two years, or more and now I suddenly don't have time for it or can't afford to feed it.
So, when you get an animal, remember that it’s a fragile creature, part of the family, and must follow you everywhere you go, otherwise don’t get one!!
Be like Caroline."

While newspapers often publish articles about women leaving their children on the doorsteps of houses, in containers, etc., this "irrational" mother pulled all her puppies out of the fire, carrying them one by one to the fire truck, because she knew they would be safe there. She is not trained for this. She's just a mother.

You missed your appointment or no showed.

'But can't you just squeeze me in?'

Choice a); I continue on allowing that grooming time for you. Not only have I lost valuable time in that gap standing and waiting for you (groomers hands twitching and loosing momentum), the time loss evolves to more time loss..tick tick tick. I know though you would never know, that later on that time loss will esculate further. You want a conversation on top of it excusing yourself....tick tick tick. I'm a mug and work on for you but I had other clients booked after you. Apparently they dont matter, nor do I. I make excuses for you and those clients are put out....tick tick tick. Their day itinerary is affected but they politely put up with it (she's a great groomer)..... tick tick tick. Last client, often two have to walk. They simply could not wait any longer. They don't return. Total immediate loss can run into several hundred dollars to thousands as I've lost valued clients and yearly income for YOU. Special, invaluable you.

Choice b); I explain to you but I'm already time down and the ridiculously obvious conversation ensues ....tick tick tick. You tell me you a valued client...tick tick tick. I rebook you. Immediate loss on your bill and further loss as you take up more earning time, which also means another client misses out....tick tick tick. I also loose valuable time. Precious valuable time for more reasons than you will ever know.

The emotional fallout from Choice a & b. I go home hours late. Next day I'm exhausted. I missed out on dinner or had to spend money getting takeaway I can't afford, my family suffer and I don't sleep as it has set off my anxiety, financial stress, fatigue (building up because you are not the only one doing this), PTSD and any other undiagnosed friggin messy head thang I'm carrying and I'm frankly pi**ed and trying to quell the angst....sigh. I'm trying to convince myself I don't want to loose you, after all I genuinely like you and cherish our relationship despite income. I spent countless and pointless hours typing up FB announcements only to delete them worrying about self sabotage reactions and the fall out of looking like a right dick. I'm upset as I have done so much giving and sacrifice to ensure my business continues for service. I realise I could be sitting home, drinking Margaritas and sleeping in. I know I'm a good groomer, after all I'm a certified Master. I'm a mug.

Choice c); I advise you will either have to pay a late fee, no show fee or double the groom fee depending on how bad you screwed me and the other clients about. You chuck a wobbly and walk. I cry initially then realise I feel strangely relieved. I replace you with three easy clients who hold me with respect and you find a new service and do it again.

Which should I choose,

'But I'm a good client.'

Ok. I bite my tongue but my beadie eyes give me away. I say 'oh yes you are' and immediately hate myself for being a God damed mug.

'You have plenty of time, I know your not busy'.

Oh geeze, yeah I want my life energy just sucked out of me because clearly I'm a servant and not a service and have no life, nor do I deserve one.

'You were late or cancelled on me a while ago, remember?'

Yes I do. And there lies the dilemma. My disability health issues impact. I know it and that's why I try so hard to let it go....and then you do it again......tick tick tick.

'I no showed because I'm a fake booking.'

Your an as***le. If you want to support your friends business then use their business. Leave everyone else be and allow people to make their choice. It's that simple...as***le. Oh and by the way you left a dirty trail, fool.

End result: I'm a mug with an out of control chocolate addiction trying to pretend I'm an uber cool Master groomer. You have cost me severly, leaving a trail of debt and mind torture are either continually tormenting me or have evaporated off my books and are now torturing another.

Consider.

Fees:

Oh f**k I missed my appointment, life is scatty:
Hugs and chocolate. I get you.... the chocolate is for me!

I'm horrendously late but that's ok cos I say so: $20 buckaroonies add on fee to double the groom fee. Thankyou. See you next time, do you need a reminder?

I love your work but I couldn't give a rats fluffy butt about your fiscal reality, how much you have done for me in the passed or your stupid medical issues:
Thanyou for your custom, you will not be missed.

Ok I have really mucked you about but I am the bomb! I'll suck up to you big time then tell you what a bad groomer/ manager you are because I believe you are too stupid to see I'm a narcissistic 'Twin Set and Pearl': far out man, you better run!

Fake t**t: stupid t**t. Karma gunna get ya.

See you in the salon
Cheers

This was the flight attendants' favorite row of passengers on the plane!

I hope they got all the love from the crew ❤️

OMG no matter what you do, do not take your dog to that crazy girl in George St. It's awful. No this dog is not on any drugs, nor is the groomer....maybe she needs to be...but still.

Let's talk grooming tools. Do you have what really works best for you? A subject I can talk alot more on but here is a little insight into one aspect of grooming tools. Filmed somewhere in October/November.

Far out. I'm going to share something with you which is really upsetting. I was going to wipe my vocals from the first footage but I think its important, so I will explain: The owner came in with her friend and asked me about her Poodle which has been going under aneasthitics for grooming. I asked her to go get the dog for me to assess. In this tape I am pushing the dog. I'm assessing the situation trying to figure out what the problem is and what's occurred with the dog. I was given minimal information. For the recording I was thinking aloud. Alot I have said here is wrong: The Cocker x info on desexing and breeder info is totally wrong. I had confused with another new client. Brain fog...ah yeah. The Poodle: whilst the owner has fallen into grooming twice a year with shave down under aneasthitics, she did not do anything wrong. All those assumptions I speak of was not correct, though a common thing so that's why I was thinking that way. Here is what I found out when the owner came back in. The dog was groomed at 17 weeks of age with a competent groomer in the city. The owner went through the moving process into the area. The dog went for its second groom 3 months after the first groom with the new groomer. The owner has always been aware her dog is anxious and detests having its snout touched. The groomer on thIIe second groom told the owner the dog is way to anxious and needs to go under aneasthitics, so for the last 2 years (dog is 3 now) the dog has gone to the vets. WOW WOW WOW! NOT GOOD AT ALL. The Dog was a puppy! A puppy. Don't be upset by what you see with me handeling this dog. I deliberately pushed it as I wanted to get to the bottom of the issue with the view of where to go from here. I will get this dog sorted. The first 2 tapes was my initial assessment. Watch what happens just over a week later when the dog comes back for me to start the process of handeling and desensitising. You can clearly see the difference already. So what's the issue? It's

Eek the phone cut out these two videos is the last final monthly draw. An extra month to celebrate Dog On George's 10 year. This month marks the beginning of the 11th year. Thankyou all so much for supporting your grooming salon. It has been and still is a priveledge to groom for you. So who won? Cheers Yolanda

Zoomies. Just caught the end of the joy play.

Scroll down to see this adorable puppy's first full groom.

The first dog to enjoy rolling in the new lawn whilst its long. The pattern he left was really cool. A work of art one could say.

A little Miss who was really bunging it on. This is so common but this one was particularly funny. She was funny during her groom too. Somebody has new priveledges at home and decided to be a diva for the day. Love this little character. That heartstring pull. The guilt. The disgust. How can you do this to me? # classic stinky eye.
