Annnnnddddd that’s a wrap!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who made this year so so soooo special for me in many ways. The biggest one being the clown in this picture 😂 (post walk tired)

Many thanks for the presents and to those who’ve held space for me this year… you know who you are!!!!!

Now, it’s time to pack the car, the kids and I are going on holiday!

See you in the new year!

OMG DID YOU HEAR?????

THE SPICE GIRLS ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!!!

Meet neuro spice, the newest member of the group 😂😂😂 aka Rosie

What a delight with her high pitched squeak. She never stops moving and is what I call a “busy dog”

See you next year kid!

17/12/2024

As we head towards the end of what’s been such a profound year for me, I wanted to stop and take a moment to thank each and every one of you for supporting my business. (And for some, it’s often both)

I’m so grateful to do what I do every day and I couldn’t do it without that.

As usual, there are a few people on my list I need to thank.

My book keeper and accountant for always putting up with my hair-brained ideas and being supportive whenever I feel like randomly throwing something at them 😂

My cleaner who comes in on Sunday and has saved me hundreds of hours this year (please don’t leave me!!!) 😂

My ring in helper who has stepped in as much as she possibly can when I’ve been over booked (my secretary should seriously get the sack) 😂

My canine nutritionist who is always so super helpful and puts up with my awesome 5am text messages because i can’t sleep and I’ve had “an idea” 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️ (you can expect more next year!)

That one client who has popped in and done my admin work without sending me into micromanaging meltdown mode when I don’t “get it” 😂

Every single one of you who donated to Jeff’s emergency surgery this year, and for those who shared when they couldn’t donate. You have no idea just how grateful I am to each and every one of you because I still have my boy with me

As we approach what’s meant to be the most joyous time of the year, I know many of you are experiencing your “firsts” without your dogs. We lost some bloody good dogs this year which it’s heartbreaking at the very least. Please know, that I’m thinking of each and every single one of you. It’s not easy, and there’s no time limit on grief, ever.

Thank you to every single one of you who have constantly recommended my businesses. I’m so grateful. However, I’m now at capacity for large breed dogs because of my permanent injuries and I’m unable to take new ones from next year. Truth be told I was advised that I should only be grooming dogs up to 15-20kgs… but I’m too stubborn to do that 😂 I do take less on days I have more booked in though.

Thank you to everyone again, the support this year has been NEXT LEVEL and leaves me at a loss for words (and we all know my big mouth never has nothing to say)

With 4 days left, my brain is going into shut down mode ever so slowly but I wanted to get this posted before I closed for the year.

I hope everyone has an awesome Christmas and new year and I’ll see you all next year 🥰🥰

💜 Miss Kenzie for tax💜

A very sulky Lenny and his photo bombing sister Maggie… plus his actual brother Murphy were in today.

Fun fact, I’m actually mildly allergic to cocker hair 🤣🤦‍♀️😂

Still wouldn’t trade these kids though. Nothing an antihistamine or 12 can’t fix 😂😂

See you next year kids!

This little lady is such a watcher. She watches EVERY move I make every time 😂😂

I’ll see her and the rest of the family next year 🥰🥰

💜💜💜💜 Winnie 💜💜💜💜

Some days you win, some days you lose. Today, there was something different in the air… today was not half the battle I expected it to be.

Winnie’s phobia with grooming is very real. So much so her old groomer who is a friend of mine was genuinely at a loss with what to do. Winnie was becoming dangerous to herself and her groomer and so I was recommended.

Now don’t get me wrong. Advocating for both dog and owner here her groomer absolutely did the right thing. I’ve had my fair share of “royal rumbles” with this sweet girl. Today hit differently, I could have cried with pride as she stood as well as she could without freaking out while I worked on her legs (which she hates) without too much of an argument at all 🥰🥰🥰 I think what got me was when she fell asleep while I was grooming her face. Yes, she’s sedated to take the edge off, but she’s known to fight through it the entire time.

Well done beautiful girl. We don’t go for aesthetics and we never will. As long as you are comfortable that’s all I care about 🥰🥰🥰

💙💙💙💙 Jimmy 💙💙💙💙

Congratulations to Jimmy and his owner Miss H on their Veteran in show win yesterday!!! I heard he flew round the ring beautifully and as usual took everything in his stride

Although I was working and couldn’t be there to witness the event, I’m absolutely thrilled for them.

Jimmy is an absolute delight to groom every month and while this could be considered his “swan song” (stepping into retirement, but we will see 😂) I’m still lucky enough to see him continually throughout the coming years.

Bred by Trisetter kennels
Owned & handled by Miss H
Groomed by me
Loved by all

🥰🥰🥰🥰

💙💙💙💙 Fergus 💙💙💙💙

From 8 weeks of age this boy has been on my table. From his first tantrum, throwing my sister out of the room because she did the typical “oh my baby” BS us groomers hate, I’m pretty sure every memory I’ve got of this dog came flooding back this morning from the moment I picked him up, to the moment I dropped him back home again.

Today marks the final step to Fergus’ show dog career. At the age of 10 years old, he’s achieved so much and every bucket list moment had been completed except this one.

Earlier this year, diagnosed with 2 types of testicular cancer, Fergus was desexed and all traces gone thankfully 🥰🥰 … months later, enter the painful job of maintaining neuter coat which my family are not strangers to… but what it does mean is a whole lot more brushing and combing to maintain a show dog look… your grooming game needs to be stepped up 10 fold and as fast as you’re getting those knots out, they’re back 24 hours later.

Being a senior dog, and one with mild arthritis it is not fair to ask a dog to stand on a table daily to be brushed just because you want to maintain a look of a breed. That makes you a selfish jerk who should really take a good hard look in the mirror and wake up to yourself. And so it was asked that i simply remove the coat so there isn’t a need for him to be standing on the table as often.

Happy retirement Faggy! Now that there’s no going back from this, I can honestly say the size of your coat matched your giant head and what once took me 4 hours to groom, will now only take 2 😂😂😂 all I can say is thank F$C@ for that!!!!!

💙💙💙💙 Vale Finn 💙💙💙💙

There are dog people, and then there are DOG PEOPLE… and Finn’s mum is the ultimate DOG PERSON in my opinion. For 13+ years a bond like no other was forged between human and golden.. until yesterday when the world splintered in an instant. What a blessing it was to watch that bond for so many years 🥰🥰

Finn the golden had some quirky issues as a puppy, his anxiety had him struggle with different things in life and grooming was one of them… it’s a shame I didn’t get hold of him as a baby. I’d love to know what happened to make him struggle so much..

And yet… armed with a boatload of all the things food related, a supportive calm owner, years later Finn accepted the process in a quieter environment, which generally meant private appointments to help him cope with it and ongoing support for the boy who just ripped a hole in many hearts as of late afternoon yesterday.

After a morning out of the norm, Finny was rushed to the vets and upon examination, shockingly it’s believed he had a hermangiosarcoma (tumour) that had burst… at over 13 years old… it was time to call it… leaving a very shattered human and a very lost golden sister (Bronte who was adopted just over a year ago who some of you may remember)

The text no one wants, is the text I got last night which of course set off floods of tears because our beloved Finn is no longer.

Thank you Finn, for making us think outside the box, for always being so well behaved even when it was a scary, and for melting even the coldest of hearts. An old soul who could make anyone’s day just by watching him. You are also now free to possum hunt to your hearts content without getting into trouble for being naughty 😂

Fiona, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how devastating of a blow this is for you and Bronte. Thank you for trusting me enough to get to work with Finn for such a long time. He was a joy to be around and always made me laugh. No doubt i will cry when i see you next. I’m apologising in advance!!!!!

Rest peacefully silly old bear, she loved you your whole life and will miss you for the rest of hers.

💙💙💙💙 Duke 💙💙💙💙

Welcome to the family kiddo.

This baby rottie is getting an early start on grooming. Knowing he will be a big boy, he passed his first test with flying colours.

Typical fart in a bottle with no attention span 😂😂😂

Settled perfectly into crate life! 🥰🥰

Wasn’t to sure about water at first but got over it, did well for the dryer (less was more) and was great for his nails.

See you next month beautiful boy!

Perfecting the head tilt early on 😍😍

Sooooooo dramatic!!!!!

💙💙💙💙 Watson 💙💙💙💙

While I was at Brisbane airport yesterday waiting to hop a plane home, I got the text no groomer wants to get…

You at 9 years old had been diagnosed with an osteosarcoma (aggressive bone cancer) in your front right leg… options were discussed, decisions were made… and all I could do was cry like a b***h surrounded by strangers.

I’ve only been your groomer for 5 years. And you came to me because of your reactivity with other dogs. And yet in those 5 years, you reacted once. I don’t know what was going on in your head that day but the second I corrected you, you chilled out and went back to ignoring other dogs as usual. Other than that one moment you never put a paw wrong.

Watson is like the Beethoven of dogs. You know that scene where he wraps his lead around the table and then takes off sending everything on it flying? Yeah that’s Watson 😂. So excited to come in he would jump up to greet me, knock over anything in his path to say hi, and generally happily slobber all over my face. I’d make him sit, before taking him from his owner who is hands down one of the BEST examples of committed I’ve ever met. He crated well without complaint despite not ever being crate trained, and never worried when I’d walk dogs near or past him.

Without a doubt, this exuberant Wally of a dog never failed to make me laugh. His owner and I would take the pi$$ out of him every month and crack up over his antics. Living with a reactive dog isn’t for the faint hearted and you guys did an amazing job of managing it. He lived his best life because of you!

Armed with a smile that could rival a Dalmatian on crack when happy, this lovable goofball will be given his wings tomorrow.

Today, I got the honour of being able to see him one last time, at his home. And while we did our best to keep him quiet he tried hard to greet me with the same level of enthusiasm as he normally would.

Cheryl and Bruce, thank you! Not only for allowing me to visit with you guys today, but for entrusting me with his grooming. He is definitely a one in a million dog who has taught us all so much along the journey. Please know I’m devastated you’ve had to make this call and in the same breath so proud of how you stepped up and advocated for Watson. I honestly couldn’t ask for better ownership when it comes to reactivity. His bag of tricks may have been small, but that didn’t matter to any of us. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 my thoughts are with you both during such a difficult time.

And to our beautiful Watson who so bravely fought this fight, THANK YOU for always being on your best behaviour, for putting your trust in me, for every clownish moment, for your silly grins, headbutts and pawing at me. I wouldn’t trade those moments and memories for the world.

Sleep sweet beautiful boy, and when the time comes tomorrow know you’ll be surrounded in nothing but love.

💙💙💙💙 Gus 💙💙💙💙

This yetti throws himself on the table whether it’s his turn or not 😂😂😂

I let him off lead while I was putting his brother away and turn back 4 seconds later and he’s doing this 😂😂😂

No mate, you know Koda always goes first. It’s just the way things are done.

💙💙💙💙 Toby 💙💙💙💙

Toby would like to announce that his parents are LIARS 😂

Prewarned of all behaviours before hand, I expected a raging demon to argue with me today…..

Toby stood and shook in typical chi fashion while I happily sang “you shook me all night long” to him.

I don’t think he appreciated my singing 😂😂😂

Well done little man. 🥰

Get your tissues ready….

💜💜💜💜 VALE BETTY 💜💜💜💜

After a short battle with a super aggressive form of cancer, today Betty was given her wings.

I knew it was coming, but I underestimated just how short the time would be.

Letting your pet go with grace and dignity is the last and best gift we can possibly give our dogs. Betty was absolutely no different.

Visits with Charlie won’t be the same. For who will snot all over me happily now? 😭😭😭😭

Fly free beautiful girl. I know your mum is devastated to lose you but she nailed it time wise in my opinion. You weren’t suffering horrendously. It was just another bad day that was starting to outweigh the good ones.

Rest peacefully, snot block. I love you and I’ll see you on the other side of that bridge one day, complete with happy bum wiggles and slobbery smooches. And yes, as much dogyog as your little heart desires, always.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DOG TRAINING WITH A DIFFERENCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As someone who has personally put 7, YES 7 dogs under Mish’s teachings, I can honestly say she definitely “gets it”

Having a pack of dogs is definitely not for the faint hearted and I NEEDED help for the more intricate problems that arose during tenser times in life. I will often return to those lessons she taught me in order to keep my pack balanced and happy.

Mish doesn’t just look at the genetics of your dog and say well the fix is this. She gets right now to the core of the issue and works out a plan that’ll fit both yours and the dogs needs.

Her patience is next level and the fact that she’s even teaching again is an opportunity NOT to be missed.

If you or someone you know is looking for a dog trainer, then it’s a no brainer. Simply contact her to arrange a conversation… the only thing you’ll regret is not having that discussion 😊

Bloody hard life for this lot 😂 Staring Whoopi, Ryder, Arkie, Sailor, Coco and Tye.

Tis the season to blow out huskies…. Fa-La-la-la-la-la FML 😂😂 Hairy cyclone complete!

Today clue is bought to you by the very handsome 💙 sailor 💙 It’s all about the action!! A very big thanks to his owner who happily let me take both her dogs a day early in order to keep one of them comfortable and in routine and another dog also. Sometimes, the rotation crosses over. When two big dogs are in and there’s one crate, you just make changes to suit the needs of both dogs. Without upsetting routines or having to use a smaller crate which while both dogs would fit in it, it just doesn’t work in my head. I’d rather work late and see both dogs happy than have unhappy dogs. 🤣

💙💙💙💙 Barney 💙💙💙💙 Nothing beats a good daily dust roll! 🤣🤣🤣 When he knows it’s bath day, he gets those ears extra filthy for me! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Nicole for taking this video. Makes me laugh every time I watch it!
