Well that's it, that's a wrap....

After 9 years of grooming, 4 beautiful years in my salon. Survived through a pandemic, loss of my dad, cost of living crisis and then got taken down by a baby 🤣

I just want to say a huuuuge thankyou to all of you, who have supported me throughout the years and been there through everything. I couldn't have done it without you all!

If I havnt got round to messaging those that brought gifts. Thankyou so much, she is one spoilt little lady already ❤️

For those I haven't had chance to tell. We're having a little girl 😊

I will of course keep this page open and update you all when she arrives.

I'm also always here if you need any advice. May just take me a little longer to reply. Although I'm terrible in that department already 🙈

Anyway I could babble on for hours. So from me, Bump and the dogs, thankyou so so much.

Give your fur babies a big hug from us, hopefully see you out and about.

Just look out for the crazed woman with 3 dogs and a baby 🤣

Hello all

Just a little polite reminder if you have appointments booked this week. If for what ever reason you cannot make it or no longer want it, please let me know.

The last two days I have had two people no show on me, resulting in a £200 loss!

I can't just make this back up next week as I'm not working and the most frustrating part is I have had to turn clients away desperate for one last groom! These empty appointments could have been avoided 😩

Please please just message me or call. It's no problem, just means I can get someone else in.

Now off to sell a kidney to make up the loss 🤦🏼‍♀️

18/08/2024

So it's officially my last week 😭 time seems to be flying by.

I am fully booked so cannot offer any more appointments. Those with appointments this week please be patient with me.

It is taking me a lot to longer to groom and I am finding it harder being on my feet all day! This heat is not helping even with the luxury of air con at work 🙈

Although it is my final week I will be keeping this page open to keep you all updated when little madame makes her appearance!

I will only have my booking system available until next month, so if any of your new groomers need to know any info on what lengths I use, quirks ect to help with grooming, it's best they get in touch sooner than later.

Any questions feel free to ask this week.

❤️

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Ours was not the weekend we had planned and thankfully didn't send me into early labour with worry 🙈

I feel this may be useful to mention to you all just incase anything similar was to ever happen to your pups. After being in this industry for 9 years I've seen many illnesses within dogs but this I had no idea about!

Saturday we had to rush Gunner to the emergency vets in Herne bay as he went all funny and collapsed on us at home. Just kept falling over when he tried to walk. Eyes flicking and head tilting! Honestly thought he was having a stroke 😭

They think it's idiopathic vestibular disease. Praying it's a one off and just due to age! Anti sickness jab and he seems to be doing better. He was still a little wobbly and head kept tilting to one side but he looked to be on the mend by the end of the day!

Side effects like wobbling or head tilts can remain after one of these. Although it looks like Gunner has fully gained control of both!

If he has another episode or gets worse we have to look at a neurologist to check there's nothing further going on. I.e tumors ect

However it's likely to be a one off or may only present itself every once in a while.

This can also be linked to ear infections although the vet was confident his ears were not the cause.

Scariest moment of our lives as we thought we were losing him!

On another note, why is it always at the weekends or out of hours something happens, cost us a small fortune. Might need to remind him we have a new addition on the way, and out of hour vet trips are not ideal🙈

Hope your weekend was more relaxed then ours!

To all my lovely clients.

Firstly, thankyou all so much for your kind words and support with regards to my pregnancy announcement. I promised to update you all when I had more of an idea on what will happen with the salon moving forward.

After exploring every avenue and weighing up all pros and cons of each. Which I really needed to ensure what ever path I chose was the correct one!

After an amazing 9 years as a groomer, 4 of those in my beautiful little salon. I have made the tough decision to close my doors and hang up my scissors and retire from grooming. I cannot say at this point if I will pick my scissors back up again down the line, as I do not wish to instal any false hope into anyone. Instead I wish to fully immerse myself into motherhood and enjoy every aspect of this new journey and where it will take me.

Taking someone on came with risks I didn't feel comfortable with. In the event that person decided it was no longer for them, I would be left with salon overheads and a baby that I could not cover. Finding Groomers with the right skill, work ethics is like finding a needle in the haystack as generally any groomers looking for work are straight out of college and need more experience and guidance.

The other deciding factor was my shop lease. Which is up for discussion come end of August. With increasing rent costs I decided it was best to not be tied back into another contract.

This was not a very easy decision for me to make as my salon is my baby and I have got to know all of you and your dogs and their quirks along the way. I have also made some amazing friendships that will continue going forward.

I just want to hugely thank all of you for all your support along the way! It's been a tough 4 years with Covid hitting within the first week of opening, The passing of my Dad then pushing through the energy crisis and economic price increases.

I promised I would not leave you all without a groomer so please watch this space as I am putting together a list of local groomers who have all kindly offered to take you on.

So with that my salon doors will close on the 28th August! 😢

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I will still be offering appointments and grooming away.

Thankyou all for your patience and understanding ❤️

Love Myself, Bump, Gunner, Willow and Rufus 💞

Everyone stay calm 🤪

Just a reminder to not panic. I'm still open and trading as usual and my books are still open to new clients.

With summer approaching and the weather warming up! I have plenty of availability to help groom all of your doggies through summer and keep them cool!

When the time comes, I will ensure all of you are booked with a new groomer for when I am not grooming! I will not up and leave and leave you lost.

For now please keep visiting me for your grooms as I love to see all your faces 🙂🥰

The only change I am adding for now is not taking on any more puppy's for their first grooms. Adore the little floofs but they are just a tad too energetic for my back 🙈 it's also best they settle with a groomer they can continue with for their first journeys into the grooming world.

Otherwise any dogs use to grooming are welcome and my doors are open 🙂

15/05/2024

It was a Bully kind of day yesterday....

Can you guess the 3 Bull breeds? 🥰

To all of my lovely clients... I have a little confession to make 🤭

After what feels like an eternity of waiting to join the world of Motherhood (9 years if we're counting) myself and Steve finally got the news we've been waiting for!

Baby MacDonald due November ❤️

This has been a rollercoaster for us as we've been on a journey through IVF. Which has meant alot of hospital, clinic visits and time off to get to this point! A point that I had felt we'd never get to.

We got the all clear with our scan over the weekend so now feel it's time to update you all with our special news.

I am currently looking into options regarding the salon and what will happen when it's time to join motherhood. Please bare with me whilst I figure this out.

Please know for now I am still happily grooming away. I will need to arrange a few appointments going forward for hospital and midwife visits. Will let you know as an when they pop up.

Otherwise I will keep grooming until I get too big or uncomfortable ☺️

Thankyou to everyone for being so flexible with recent appointment changes. Now you know why 😬🤭
