I'm down £××× money this week already.

As always no shows and last min cancellations still need to be paid in full. At this time of the year I cannot be out of pocket.

Short notice doesn't work. I need time to rearrange my diary and if I can get your appointment swapped to accommodate you I will. I try my best to avoid charging as it isn't something I like doing but at this time of the year it's busy. Payment plans can be arranged.

If you dont make your appt this month you won't get another appt until February. January is a busy month as I'm closing over the festive period.

Please think before you no show - how would you like turning up for work and not getting paid...

I have a chest infection and having to drag myself to work when all I want to do is stay in bed cuddled in with Digger so I would really appreciate if you could show up and not leave me standing about.

If an emergency comes up it takes seconds to reach out.

Thanks to everyone that has turned up ❤️

It's the time of year to spend time with Filthy Animals 🎄🎅



Not here though... love a clean smelling dug

Right guys this is a busy busy time. Please ⬇️

✅️Be on time dropping off
✅️Keep your phone handy & return for the time provided
✅️ Sometimes I can work ahead of schedule & ask you to come earlier if it suits.
✅️Try have the right cash on you
✅️I do ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule appointments - current availability is into February
⚠️No shows and cancellations on the day will be charged in full - this is income I need to provide for my family and to pay bills.

I'm sorry but I have no appointments left. My days off are for shopping, grooming Digger and Ginny and getting organised myself

I REALLY HOPE MY BOY DIGGER MAKES CHRISTMAS 🤞🏻

He has good and bad days so I cannot 100% rule out last minute cancellations. I have guilt and feel awful over this but I'm trying to remind myself that this is something outwith my control. Every morning we wake up thinking is today going to be the day . It's been such a stressful time so I thank everyone that has been understanding and asking after him ❤️

Nervous girl Belle suffers from separation anxiety, so lots of reassurance during the groom to build trust 🥰

So I was looking for my diary this morning to reschedule the dogs that have been cancelled and turns out when I came in yesterday I've left everything outside. Door wide open, light on, thankfully the gate was on the latch. This isn't like me. I feel burnt out, so emotional and finding it difficult to concentrate on the job

I'll be taking some time off. This isn't an easy decision to make as I'm self employed and need paid but I also need to look after myself.

I'll be in touch if your appointment is being cancelled over the next few weeks

❤️

Sorry all appts cancelled for today.

I've just came in to check on Digger and as he's started the tablets to rid the fluid around his eye again I've came into the tiles soaking (he's wetting himself as he's drinking that much to rid the fluid, unfortunately one of the side effects) I'll need to get this cleaned up and look after him 💔

Puppy sessions are a must for all breeds and should start once they are fully vaccinated

Don't delay as it will only cause issues for your groomer and could upset your dog if they do not get used to and accept the process when young enough

REGULAR GROOMING SCHEDULES ARE A MUST FOR A HAPPY DOG AND HAPPY GROOMER 🥰

Bye-bye to those ✂️

I've been meaning to post an update on Digger for a while now.

He's been himself all this time, eating, playing and going walks. He is wary of playing with Ginny though as they've always played rough and he's knocked his nose a few times with some bleeding

The mass on his face is growing all the time and the eye that the mass was behind on the CT scan seems to be okay however on Sunday we woke to his other eye closed over. It was very swollen and his 3rd eyelid is over and it's very red and swollen too. You'll see this in the photo where he's snuggling into Miryn. Our boy is scared of the fireworks 💔

We don't know what's causing it. It could be an infection from the mass moving to the other eye or it could be the mass itself putting pressure and pushing the 3rd eyelid out.

He's on antibiotics and other medication to help reduce the fluid and swelling. Thankfully the swelling is down but the 3rd eyelid is still over. I'm hoping this retracts as we are back to the vets on Friday afternoon.

I appreciate everyone who has been messaging and asking at appointments after Digger. You lot are so caring, and I'm so grateful you all understand

I'll be closed September Weekend and most of the October week.

I'll be taking this time off and switching off completely so I won't be answering any messages.

I need to learn to switch off

You give the most amazing cuddles 🥰

Puppy sessions are so important to allow your dog to accept grooming throughout their life.

Early introduction allows them to get used to the grooming process, equipment, and surroundings. Most importantly, building that bond and trust with your groomer

First big girl haircut I left the poodle face a little longer as she was unsure of the dryer and clippers near her head so there was no way of getting a clean face at her first visit

Your dogs body language is 100% noted. I would never force a dog if they are uncomfortable

She is only 6 months old, so there is plenty of time for her to get familiar with the grooming process

Well done Ruby

LOVE & WOOFS

Monday Again!

Who's all looking forward to Wednesday - Back to School 🙌🏻💃🏼

08/08/2024

Appointments for the rest of Aug-early Oct are being sent out by tomorrow. If you don't hear from me, please send me a msg

Sorry for the delay. I find it really difficult to concentrate and organise myself recently

I was sitting down with the diary, but Digger has different plans 🥰

❤️

I honestly can't believe I'm writing this, so relieved and happy that Diggers swelling has reduced and his eye is open again.

The top photos are not even showing the swelling fully. I couldn't get a photo of him on Friday where his face was so bad that around his eye looked bald as the skin was so swollen and spreading to under his other eye. He had a bad nose bleed on Friday evening as well.

BUT look at the photo below 🥰.
This is Digger this morning. He seems happier, eating again (hand fed by his Granny again yesterday morning and myself last night), but he's not turning his head away. He's interested and wants to eat now

I'll speak to his vet tomorrow as they will probably want to extend the antibiotics.

Our boy, our fighter. We LOVE you so much

❤️
