Back in November 2023, whilst on a surprise holiday in New York for Mick’s birthday, I took the plunge whilst in Central Park and asked him to marry me.

It’s been 5 weeks today since my precious baby boy Alfie was put to sleep. We have been inundated with flowers, gifts and cards as well as face book mesaages. People have been so kind and thoughtful and their kind words mean a lot. Alfie didn’t just touch our lives he touched so many others too. Thank you to everyone for your kindness , you know who you are x
The pain of losing Alfie is still unbearable and the silence in the house and groom room without him is hard to overcome.
We miss you Alfie as do so many other people too. Run free my baby boy. Love you more than words could ever say. ###

Sadly Jo will be leaving Groomology on 2nd August to start a new chapter in her life. We will be very sad to see her go.
This means that I have double appointments booked for the next few months. I have some help during August but going forward I will be on my own. This means that daily appointments will be reduced from 8-10 dogs per day to 4-5.
This means that swapping and changing appointments will be impossible, squeezing people in will be impossible.
Please bear with me during this difficult time as there is only so much I can do in a day. Please also be on time for your appointment and if you cannot make your appointment please give me at least 48 hours notice so I can fit someone else in that is waiting.
It is also essential that we book your next appointment before leaving or when I text you that evening. If I do not hear from you within 48 hours I will assume you do not want the appointment and will offer it out to someone else.
Thank you all in advance for your help it’s much appreciated x

We lose yet another one of our fur babies.
In loving memory of Brocoli a young Cavapoo who contracted a terrible disease with complications and had to be put to sleep yesterday. He was a gorgeous boy, who gave me lots of kisses whilst being groomed. I will miss you Brocoli and our thoughts are with you and your family. 💔 x

Thank you to everyone who came to support the Woodley Carnival dog show this year. It was a great success as ever and the weather was kind to us.
I have made a donation to the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre (a bit more than 50%) and attach a copy of the letter from them confirming receipt of
payment. Thanks again Yvonne

I would like to let all my customers know that it is with heavy heart that I have to let you know that I lost my own dog today, Alfie my fox terrier baby boy. He was 13 and had pancreatitis, Cushings disease and gastrointestinal disease but it was cancer that got him. We didn’t know he had it but it made the pancreatitis worse this weekend and going to the emergency vet today they scanned him and found the tumour. He was in a lot of pain and there was nothing they could do for him.
Mick and I made that heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep.
I am truly heart broken and in a lot of pain having lost my baby boy and may have to take a few days off to have time to myself over the next few days.
I am sorry to anyone that will be inconvenienced but I will be letting them know personally to rearrange their appointment.
Being dog owners I hope you understand. Thank you x

Today Thursday 6th June we have had 3 people not turn up for their appointments and 2 people yesterday. We are a small business and this cannot keep happening.
If you cancel on the day of your appointment or do not turn up for your appointment you will be charged the full cost of the groom which is payable before we book you back in.

For the last 7 years Dogcology & Groomology have hosted the dog show at the Woodley carnival. This year is no exception.
I thought this year I would offer one of my clients the chance to be involved. We are looking for someone that would like to be a judge on the day? The chance to pick out the top 3 winners in each category and the best in show , the overall winner of the day.
The carnival is on 8th June, you will need to be there by 1.30pm and we expect to finish by 5pm.
Please contact me on 07760282742 if you are interested. It’s al lovely day, and your chance to see all the lovely local fur babies in their glory.

A very sad day at Groomology- we say goodbye to Presley the Cockapoo who lost his battle to cancer at the age of 11. My heart goes out to the family at this very sad time. Run free baby boy. We will miss you. Xx

Woodford park dog walkers. Beware of this lady with a rusty coloured Labrador
Her dog attacked one of my dogs on Monday 25th March at Woodford Park causing insurers to my dog resulting in veterinary attention.
She denied her dog did anything yet said her dog doesn’t like little dogs and doesn’t like being approached.
She refuses to pay the vet bill or take responsibility for her dogs actions.
Her name is Gina and her dogs name is Jess. 6 year old Labrador. She showed no remorse to my dogs injuries, puncture marks on her body , her private bits bitten and bleeding as well as any psychological damage that may have been caused.
The matter has been reported to the police and the dog warden.
Things like this cannot keep happening and people getting away with it. Take responsibility for your dogs actions and give people warning if you know your dog has issues. Keep safe.

Happy New Year.

We are only 5 working days into the new year and already we have 5 NO SHOWS. reasons being - I forgot! i had an appointment elsewhere - had to work- just couldn't make it or no contact at all.
We are a small busy salon and have people screaming for appointments and Jo and I have an income to earn. I still have to pay my groomers for standing around.
Please, let me know if you cannot come to your appointment, not on the day but at least 24 hours before.
If you cannot remember when your appointment is , text or call me to check, if you think you won't remember, put a reminder on your calendar or in your phone. I cannot spend my evenings sending reminders, chasing payments , swapping and changing appointments and rebooking people in.
Missed appointments on the day will incurred the cost of a full groom.

Please also, if you are paying by bank transfer, payment has to be on the day of the groom and not weeks later. We do not offer credit.

If you work with me i can work with you and I will be flexible where i can.

Rant over!

Thank you

So tonight I completed the final
24 miles of the cycle 274 miles for Brain Tumor Research in August in memory of my friend Natasha. I’ve raised a total of £1030.44 , thank you all for your generous donations and support. I really appreciate it.
I’ve loved every minute of the challenge and thought of Natasha often when out on my rides and even had a few tears wishing she was still here with us and with her family.
This was for you Tash , wish I could give you a big hug one last time. 😘 ###
