Gornall's Groom Room

10/01/2025

Week 1 of 2025 has not been without its challenges and I'm glad it's come to an end. The weather froze pipes which halted bathing in the groom room for the back end of the week. Massive thank you to those who moved their groom, bathed their own dog then brought round or allowed me to muddle through with their dog in my own bath. Wonderful to be back with some familiar waggy tails visiting and a few new gorgeous faces.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. Thank you for keeping me so busy since opening in March and trusting me with your gorgeous dogs. I’m happier than I could ever have imagined and busier than I ever dared to dream of being.
Thank you for your lovely gifts of wine, chocolates and Christmas tips but mostly for just bringing me your beautiful dogs

Oops a couple more that I missed - and I didn't actually bash my head 😅

This week was always going to be busy but a 12 hour power cut decided to come along unannounced and play a bit of havoc.
Hey ho a bit of panicking and jiggling and all the dogs got their grooms. Happily tired after another wonderful week of you trusting me with your gorgeous pooches 🥰🐶😍

It's beginning to feel like Christmas especially when I look forward in my diary over the next few weeks 😳. Another week of wonderful doggies this week all Christmas ready. This weather plays havoc trying to keep them clean and dry after their groom ready for home but sometimes they just need a widdle 🤷‍♀️

It's been a busy busy week of heavy lifting this week 💪 alongside the smaller and medium sized visitors. They're biggies to handle and they don't have the wriggle efficiency of a smaller dog - or so I thought 🙄 but I met a good match this week. Some ropey pics with just one of Bertie the gorgeous retriever missing but he loved his pamper. I also had the pleasure of grooming the stunning Mason who is taking an important part in his mum n dad's wedding this weekend - he was an absolute treat 😍

To state the obvious it's been a chilly week ❄️. This only stopped play yesterday due to frozen pipes which 🤞we've remedied for the rest of the cold season. Another wonderful week with lots of regulars and some new welcome faces too. I welcomed the oldest dog I've ever groomed, Dizzy at 18 yrs and the smallest dog ive ever groomed, little Chihuahua Marley (sadly no pic) almost straight from being rehomed to his wonderful new forever home 🥰

Double whammy of lovely doggies tonight due to being away last weekend when the wine flowed before I uploaded 🤷‍♀️. Another couple of wonderful weeks and I'm so grateful that my commute on these dark nights is just 6 steps. Mostly regulars over the last few weeks with a few welcome new faces ❤️🐕

Another happy week at my lovely dog house. A few new faces among the regulars. So special when regulars come running in happy to be here 🥰

After a wonderfully relaxing week in Scotland it was very happily back to the dogs on Monday morning. I've actually peaked at 9 cockers this week but sadly missed a pic of the very handsome Luigi 😫. This week has been full to bursting with so many regular visitors and a few new faces 🥰🐶😍

Happy Friday to me as it includes an out of office/shed/salon/grooming parlour. Off to Scotland for a week of RnR. Not sure I'm too happy with unpaid holidays but needs must. Whilst looking forward to a week to ourselves I don't cherish holidays quite as desperately as I did in corporate life! This week has been wonderful again with so much love from these gorgeous dogs 🥰🤩😘
