It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today to share some unfortunate news. After much consideration, I have made the difficult decision to discontinue my pet grooming services, effective starting in the new year.
I want to emphasize that arriving at this decision was not an easy one, as I hold a deep passion for what I do and have grown to cherish every moment with you and your precious dogs. Your loyalty, trust, and the relationships we have formed over the years mean the world to me, which is why this decision has been incredibly challenging.
Finding fulfillment in a job is a rare gift, and it's so wonderful that I have such a passion for grooming and have built a strong rapport with my clients... However, the work/life balance i have right now is just not sustainable, I love my job but working 6 days a week and just barely making a living isn't fair to myself or my family. I've spent 8 years as a "successful" small business owner and not once in that time have I felt at ease with my financial future and with a growing cost of living I just don't see way around this decision.
Throughout the years, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with each and every one of you and to witness the joy and happiness that your dogs bring to your lives. Your support and patronage have meant everything to me, and it is not without immense gratitude that I express my sincere appreciation for your loyalty and trust.
I understand that this news may come as a suprise and I want to extend my deepest apologies once again for this inconvenience. I hope you understand that the decision was made with the utmost consideration, and it truly hurts my heart to write this.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your trust, support, and understanding. It has been an honor to serve you and your furry companions, and I will always hold the memories of our time together close to my heart.
Wishing you all the best for the future. Please continue to provide the love and care that your amazing dogs deserve.
With heartfelt apologies and sincerest gratitude,
Ian Headon
