Just a little heads-up that things may be a bit quieter than usual for a short while.

I’m already slow to reply on a good week 😅 but right now I’m juggling some family health bits, so replies to emails, seminar enquiries, grooming appointments, comments and fresh content may be a little slower than normal.

All is okay. It’s just a case of fitting work around life for a moment, and I wanted to let you guys know.

Thank you so much for your patience and kindness 💙
My small hooman needs me more than the internet needs more bum-trimming videos right now lol 🐾

Cold nose. Pink sunrise. Crunchy frost underfoot.
And two floofs absolutely living their best main-character life.

This was earlier in the week in Friston Forest and honestly… it filled my cup in a way only muddy boots, fresh air and unruly ears can.

Lenny, a.k.a. Lord Lenny, the sophisticated chicken nugget, stopped dead in his tracks at a field of cows and went full existential crisis.
“Hello. I is Lord Lenny. Just checking… are these extra large floofs?
Or perhaps cows are just… farm aliens?
Do they bark? Do I bark?
I shall observe.”
No barking. No chasing. Just intense staring and very big thoughts from a very small nugget.

Meanwhile Lolly carried the stick.
Not a stick. The stick.
The whole walk.
Tried to jump into the car boot with it too.
She’s nearly 13, runs like she’s 13 weeks old… and like me, absolutely feels it the next day. Solidarity.

Also can we talk about winter walks done properly.
I was wrapped up head to toe in Drybones and YES… I’m wearing a matching jacket with my dogs.
Same colour. Same vibe. Same cosy energy.
I’ve genuinely never known a brand where you can literally match your dog exactly and somehow not look like a novelty act.
Bones dry. Floofs dry. Spirits high.

There’s something magic about a crisp winter morning.
Being out for sunrise.
Moving your body.
Letting your head breathe.
Very much carrying this energy into 2026. More movement, more fresh air, more moments like this.

So… quick poll 👇
Sunny winter day ☀️❄️ or rainy summer day 🌧️☀️?

Tagging because I’m officially obsessed. Go give them a follow.

Planning Lovemud 2026.
Big picture thinking.
Strategy. Growth. Structure.

Then I found this in my paperwork.

FART.

Tell me you work from home with kids without telling me you work from home with kids.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

If you comment “brush” or “brushing” on any of my posts,
you may be sent a free, very helpful, educational video
showing how to brush your dog safely, comfortably, and without turning them into a felted footstool.

I know.
Absolutely outrageous behaviour from me.

Some people have been deeply offended by this.
So offended you’d think I’d snogged their husband and kicked their Labrador.

I’m terribly sorry for sending free information about how to help keep dogs mat-free, comfy, and happier between grooms.
Truly feral behaviour.

To the groomers who’ve been grooming for 84 years and don’t need this…
it’s not actually for you.
It’s for the owners whose dogs you groom.
You’re very welcome to forward it on if it makes life easier.

Inspired by the excellent attitude of …
the only things I’m taking into 2026 are:
• my sense of humour
• a slicker brush
• and fresh pants

Peace, love, and dog snogs 🐾💋
You do you. I’ll do floofs.
Sandra’s been grooming 84 years and she’s still angry…
maybe she’s got a dog hair splinter somewhere awkward.

One for the dog lovers… 🎄🐾
Because let’s be honest, festive chaos is best handled with a snooze, a floof, and zero expectations of jingling all the way.
If there’s a nap involved and a dog attached, I’m in.

Pre-Christmas salon energy looks very different depending on the species…

Kiko arriving for his groom PRE GROOM looking like the most handsome dog that has ever existed.
Already glossy. Already composed. Already questioning why he’s even booked in.

Me arriving for my own pre-Christmas hair appointment looking like I’ve been dragged backwards through a hedge.
Hair fried. Bags packed under my eyes. Vibes saying I’ve not slept properly since November.

Same experience.
Different salons.
Same festive chaos.

This is December as a groomer.
We send the floofs out looking flawless
and then limp into our own appointments whispering, please just make me human again.

Also… groomers don’t count down days till Christmas.
We count dogs left.

I’ve got 7 floofs to go 🎄🐶
How many are left on your list?

Sending love to every groomer in full festive survival mode. We’re nearly there 💜✂️🐾

Turns out the Lovemud Dog Lady scrubs up alright sometimes. Who knew 😂
From trimming bum fluff to festive fluff.
What are you lot up to this Saturday night?”

Proof that dog hair is temporary, sparkle is forever ✨🐾

Sunday morning scenes from the sofa. (I appear to not even know what day it is! 😆😆😆)

Up early. Again.

Woken at 5am.
Then again at 6am.
Finally gave in at 6.15 because apparently the floofs have formed a very strict breakfast union and negotiations are no longer optional.

They’ve eaten.
They’ve pooped.
They’ve gone straight back to sleep.

I’m on my second coffee, staring at the flashing Christmas tree and my utterly ridiculous but gorgeous snail bauble 🐌
For anyone new here… my three favourite animals are:
1️⃣ Dogs (obviously)
2️⃣ Lizards (strong second, especially when I’m sunning myself in warm countries)
3️⃣ Snails – slow, steady, purposeful… basically my life philosophy in ornament form

All is calm. All is quiet.
Apart from the soft snoring of two floofs who absolutely did not need to wake me twice just to immediately nap again.

Bonus drama from last night:
Lenny stole unattended chicken bones.
Cue mild internal meltdown and a slightly frantic message to asking if my sophisticated chicken nugget was about to meet his maker!???
So yes… I’m expecting some interesting and festive poos this morning. Possibly snowflake shaped 💩❄️

Maxie was poorly mid-week and also spiked a fever last night.
Thank the lord for Calpol and sofa snuggles.

Today’s lineup before lunch:
• Catch-up grooms
• Bailey aka Lemon 🍋 (if ya know, ya know!)
• Bruno Brown Bear 🧸 (woof!)
• Attempting to move my body without my joints cracking like bubble wrap
• Remembering to drink water because apparently Diet Coke does not count 🤷‍♀️
• Parenting without a handbook (still winging it)
• Content creation as if I run a five-person creative agency called Lovemud
• Trying to stop the floofs running the entire household like furry, entitled CEOs

All before lunch.

What time did your floofs wake you this morning?
Be honest. I need to feel less alone in my world where the dogs absolutely rule the roost. 🐾💜

A very Lovemud Tuesday, if you will…

Started the day with a recovery call with a fellow superwoman because sobriety is the glue holding this whole circus upright.

Then had to reshuffle clients to squeeze in a BBC Radio Surrey & Sussex chat about…
dog snogs.
I mean… who else were they gonna call, really.

Next up… little Benedict’s first ever big boy haircut.
My puppy ovaries didn’t stand a chance.
Glow-up level: the owner is lucky she got him back.

After that, I headed to King’s Church for the beautiful Christmas Remembered service to honour Jay — Maxie’s daddy and my fiancé.
Tender. Heavy. Healing. Exactly the heart space it needed to be.

And because grief days are allowed a little pick-me-up…
I thought I’d go buy myself a star for the tree.
A lovely symbolic moment.
Very poetic.
Very “new chapter energy.”

Except… the star is too heavy for the tree.
And honestly?
Its defeated little tilt summed up my mood perfectly.

THEN… because the universe loves contrast…

I came home to dinner being cooked for me (still processing this)
and ended the day on the sofa tangled up with Lenny, Lolly and…
a mystery pair of man-arms Lenny has fully claimed as his own.

Early days.
No hats needed… yet.
But if this was a Netflix series, you’d all be in the group chat discussing the chemistry.

Life is wild.
Life is tender.
Life is me grooming a puppy, crying in church, buying a star that needs therapy, flirting on a sofa and talking about dog snogs on the BBC… all in one day.

Send snacks. And maybe a nap. 💜🐾

What is Lenny thinking here…? 🤔🐾
Because based on these pics, I have a few theories:

📍 “Mother… remove the spare hooman. Immediately.”
📍 “If anyone is cuddling you, it is ME. I am the cuddle.”
📍 “You like his hands? WATCH ME BECOME HIS HAND.”
📍 “Privacy is cancelled. I live here now.”
📍 “This is not jealousy. This is quality control.”

Honestly… he folded himself into a pretzel, glued himself to my face, and became one with the sofa just to maintain his title as The Chosen Floof.

So tell me…
WHAT do you think Lenny is saying in these pics???
Best answers win absolutely nothing except my eternal admiration and possibly Lenny’s approval. Possibly.

So… show me your AI creations or your floofs in their most fabulously festive state
