Due to a medical emergency, I will be away from the shop for a few days. All messages will be returned once I am able.

Thank you for your patience during this time 💛

08/05/2024

Hi everyone, just wanted to make an important update for shop availability:

❗️I will officially be closing my books to new clients for the foreseeable future.❗️

Although I really appreciate everyone’s interest in Barks & Bubbles more than I could ever express, the wait times are becoming overwhelming for both myself, but also for keeping my regular’s routine running smoothly.

I am also currently booking for the third week of September, with spots filling up quickly, so I highly recommend rebooking your pup’s spaw day, sooner rather than later!

Thank you all so much for the continued support and understanding at this time

Happy tails,
Leah, Ruby, and Boomhauer 💛

07/25/2024

Friendly reminder that I am on vacation this week.

All messages will be returned when I get back into the shop next week.
Thank you.

07/03/2024

Hi everyone,

So I broke my phone late last week and ended up losing all my contacts numbers in the process of getting a replacement one. If you were looking to get ahold of me, please resend any text messages to the same cellular number, with your name attached, so I know who is who! 😅

For everyone else waiting for Facebook replies, I will be getting back to everyone when I’m back in the shop tomorrow morning and have access to my appointment book.

I’m so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, and for the wait time for responses. It’s been a process, but we’re nearly there, so I thank you all for your patience with me while I get this straightened away! 💛

Looking forward to another month of cute and clean faces!

Happy Tails,
Leah, Ruby & Boomhauer

06/25/2024

Good morning, and happy Tuesday everyone. Just wanted to post a quick update regarding my summer availability and vacation schedule for the upcoming months ahead.

As of right now, I am fully booked for the entire month of July and ongoing until to the last week of August, with only a few spots remaining for full service grooming appointments at this time!

September bookings are beginning to fill up, so I highly recommend securing your pup’s end of summer Spaw day, and even beyond, sooner, rather than later!

VACATION DATES:
The shop will be closed during the following dates while we are away:

Friday, July 19th - Sunday July 28th

Friday, August 16th - Monday, August 26th

** All messages, texts and questions will be answered/returned, during our regular shop hours, as we take our lazy vacation time very seriously and plan to enjoy every single second of the sunshine during our time away. 😎☀️**

Thank you so much for everyone’s patience during this busy time of year for us, and we hope everyone has a fun filled summer break

With happy tails on this rainy day,
Leah, Ruby, & Boomhauer

06/13/2024

Hi everyone, It has been a fun and very busy couple of weeks here at Barks & Bubbles, as we welcome the newest member of our grooming team, Mr. Boomhauer (Boomi)!

He has been in all week learning his shop and table manners, while singing songs during kennel training. He loves all the pups and people coming in, and can’t wait to meet all the new friends yet to come 💛

IMPORTANT SHOP NOTE:
I am now booking into the second week of August at this time. Should you be unable to make it to your appointment, I would greatly appreciate at least a minimum of 24 hours notice prior to your appointment, so that I am able to get another pup waiting on the cancellation list, in.

I understand that wait times are becoming longer and the weather is getting hotter, so please book your appointments in advance to guarantee your pup’s spaw day!

With lots of puppy love,
Leah, Ruby & Boomhauer 💛

05/29/2024

Today is a very special day at Barks & Bubbles, as we are celebrating our 1 year anniversary of officially being opened in the new shop!

I cannot express the endless amount of gratitude, appreciation and love for all of my clients and their parents for supporting my little business venture, trusting me with your pups, and allowing me to build their confidence while helping them feel as beautiful on the outside as they do on the inside. It’s because of all of you that I am able to come to work everyday and do what I love most! so a huge THANK YOU to everyone for the continued support! 💛

Here’s to many more years of spaw days to come! 🎉

With the happiest of tails and lots of love,
Leah & Ruby

05/21/2024

Just a quick reminder post that I am FULLY booked until the end of July at this time!

Now booking August appointments!

04/23/2024

Good afternoon everyone!

Just wanted to make a quick post that I only have a couple appointments left for the entire month of May, and filling up quickly for June! (Saturday appointments are now completely filled until July at this time, with even fewer days available due to vacation!)

It’s a great idea to book your pup’s summer appointments sooner and beat the heat, rather than having a hot doggie later, as summer appointments for July and August will be VERY limited this year! ☀️🐶

Please understand that I have a very large and growing clientele, so if you’re unable to make it to your appointments, please give at least 24/hr notice, so that i may get someone waiting on my cancellation list in sooner!
Please note: Phone calls are very rare to go through while I’m at the shop due to poor phone service inside the building. Fastest response time will always be via Facebook messenger, or text message!

As always, we hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day, and happy tails!
Leah & Ruby 💛

04/15/2024

Good morning everyone!

Just making a quick post that I will be closed from April 16th until April 18th for vacation.

*** All messages will be returned when regular hours resume on April 19th ***

I am also fully booked up until the end of May, so please be sure to book your pup’s summer appointment sooner rather than later as summer appointments will be VERY limited!

Thanks so much, and see you all soon! ☺️
Leah & Ruby

04/08/2024

Hi everyone, just wanted to pop on and wish a big happy 6th birthday to the very best receptionist, Ruby! 💛

03/25/2024

Good morning everyone,

Just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone for their kind words and patience during the last week, it was a much a needed break to be with my husband and our family to honour our beloved baby boy. 🤍

With that being said, I am now FULLY booked for the entirety of April with zero spots left for full service appointments. If you’re unable to make your appointment, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance so that I can fill in your appointment slot with someone on my ever growing cancellation list.

May bookings are now opened, and I cannot express the importance of booking in advance while we are coming into mud season! So even if you’re already booked in for April, please feel free to reach out and book your next appointment, so that your pup can stay on their routine grooming schedule and not be left waiting!

Looking forward to another fun filled week, and happy tails to all!
Leah & Ruby 💛

03/12/2024

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder to everyone that tomorrow, March 13th, will be my last day in the shop before my bereavement closure.

During this time away, I will not be answering messages or phone calls of any kind until I reopen on March 21st, 2024. So I kindly ask for everyone to please respect this much needed request, as this will be a very difficult time for our family.

We hope everyone takes care in the meantime, and we will see you all upon our return.

Lots of love,
Leah, Ruby & Family 💛

02/15/2024

Morning all,

Quick update that I am now FULLY booked for the entirety of March, and moving into April for full service appointments!

Reminder that the best form of contact is through Facebook, and **NOT** via phone calls. I do not get 99% of calls due to poor cellular service inside the shop !

Thank you all so much, and wish you all well on this snowy day

Leah & Ruby 💛

02/08/2024

Hi everyone, just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently booking for mid to late March at this time, and spaces are filling up quickly, so please book ahead in order to secure your spot!

Long update, but please read 💛

I would also like to make note that the month of March will have a very limited amount of appointment spots available as I will be taking personal time off from, March 14th and returning on March 21st.
** NO messages will be answered during this time. **

For those who are newer to Barks & Bubbles, and for those who may not recall, but on March 17th, 2023, Myself and my husband welcomed our first son into our lives at 21 weeks gestation, who unfortunately passed away soon after his birth. This will be our very first year, and our first birthday without our baby, and the amount of love, grief and heartache that goes along with such a loss is indescribably heavy. So I have chosen to take this time off to really focus on my family and the love we have for our deeply missed boy 🤍

Barks & Bubbles has been one of my lifeline’s during this past year, and having my four legged friends to lean on has been free therapy for a broken heart. So when I say how much I appreciate everyone, please know that it is so so genuine. I know I may not be the best groomer ever and sometimes my pup’s leave a little questionable looking, but having this space to heal and honour my son means the world to me. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to do what I love

I would like to kindly ask that over the next few weeks that everyone wouldn’t mind having a little patience with me during this very difficult time for my family.

With so much love,
Leah and Family (Rubes included) 💛

02/05/2024

Hi everyone, just wanted to make a quick post that I will be closing the shop tomorrow, February 6th, 2024, and will hopefully be back in for Wednesday!

Hope everyone has a safe and cozy snow day!
Leah & Ruby 💛

01/09/2024

We’re back, and ready to make pups feel beautiful in our freshly updated space! 💛

** To get down to business, please note the following:

Reminder to everyone, that I am currently booking for mid February at this time. If you’re unable to make it to your appointment, please give me at least 24 hours notice (if possible as emergencies happen) just so that I can replace your spot with another waiting on my cancellation list.

And an even bigger reminder to rebook your appointment during pickup time, as spaces are becoming limited for regulars!

Finale note, poor phone service is a continued issue here, due to the old building the shop is located in, so the best means of contacting for appointments/questions/etc, would be via messenger or text messages!

Looking forward to seeing you all, and Happy Tails,

Leah & Ruby 💛

12/23/2023

And that’s a wrap for Barks & Bubbles’s 2023 pups! 🧡

Sending warm holiday wishes, and a happy new year to you all. But most importantly, a huge thank you to those who continue to support my small business.

From my wonderful clients who make it possible for me to do what I love. To my dear four legged friends that always know how to heal my heart. To my amazing family, for believing in my dream and helping me build a shop of my very own, to my lovely mother in law, for sharing her kerchief making talents and making all the pups leave fashionable. To my best friend, who always cheers me on and lends her skills if I need an extra hand. And finally to my darling husband, for always coming in on his days off to help me with the pups, or doing maintenance, or cleaning up after me. I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart ☺️💛

Happy tails to all,
Leah, Ruby & Family

*** Please note: The shop is now closed until January 9th. All messages and calls, will be returned and answered then. ***

12/19/2023

Hi everyone, just wanted to make a quick note that I am now FULLY booked for the entirety of January, and will be moving into February for appointments going forward. ( I can’t stress it enough to book your appointments in advance as spots are becoming very limited with my growing clientele! )

As always, if you’re unable to make it to your appointment, please give me at least 24 hours notice so that I can fill your slot with those waiting on my cancellation list!

The appreciation I have for you all is endless, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support!

Leah & Ruby 💛

Didn’t realize a number was visible on his tag, so pardon the double post. But Mr.Zeke is so handsome he deserves his very own spotlight 😂😅😂

12/17/2023

Little late with this weeks pup pics, and ended up needing to make an album so no one was left out. (I will post all pictures from December appointments here at a later date, just so they’re easier to find later.)

But what a fun week it’s been, all thanks to these sweet faces! 💛

Reminder that this is my last week in the shop before vacation/renovations, and will be reopening on January 9th!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and happy tails,
Leah & Ruby 🧡

❄️ Happy Photo Booth day! ❄️

I will be at the shop from 2:30pm until 5:30pm!
(Reminder that this is a FREE service for all my clients)⛄️

12/11/2023

PHOTOBOOTH UPDATE:

Good morning everyone, due to the incoming weather today, I’ve decided to forgo today’s photobooth at 4:30p.m. and just extend the time on Saturday, the 16th by a couple hours, to make up for it instead.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, but truthfully I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone doing any unnecessary travelling in the expected high winds, risk the pups being spooked, or them having wind swept/wet looking pictures

Hope everyone stays safe and warm today, and we will be back in the shop tomorrow for another full and festive week!

Leah & Ruby 💛

12/09/2023

First wave of festive friends who braved the snow to get all cleaned up for Santypaws!

As always, have a great weekend, and happy tails!
Leah & Ruby 🎄✨

12/01/2023

Photo Booth Pop-Up Times:

Thanks again everyone for sharing your fur babies with me, it’s such an honour to get to know each and every one of their personalities 💛
