4 cats done last week. This is a special girl My Daughter bred her and was given to one of her
Friends.
Finished video of the cat, fb wouldn't let both load in one post.
A bit of a cat week this week. 4 cats done.
Sometimes people ask why I wash and dru them?
The Washing and conditioning lifts the undercoat out and keeps the skin so much healthier, have a look at the videos, you can see the undercoat coming out, then the smooth finish, cats do get used to being bathed and dried, I use earmuff hoods for them to help with the noise. This girl turned out so silky in the end. ππ€© beautifully behaved girl.
Was working from Kihikihi Pet shop today, did this beautiful boy, woooo so much hair lol.
The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.
Running a business is really hard.
What they donβt tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.
People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.
People will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.
You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just canβt get to everyoneβs messages and emails.
Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a provider, family support, friend, spouse...
Thereβs a reason you donβt see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. Itβs freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.
Hereβs a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businessesβ¦β¦.and hopefully more of us will stick around!
Definitely time to deshed before Winter.
Bit of a German Shepherd day this is the 3rd one today.
Awww how cute is this ? The cat kept coming back to check on her little friend π₯°
End video of beautiful boy.
This is a video helps to show why I do bath the cats , it helps get the undercoat out and cleans them. Watch the rinse water, it has made his coat so beautiful and soft. Next video show the end result.
Yep I think Summer is definitely here ππ coats dropping π
This old girl, should feel great after this deshed π₯°π€©
Awwww a day for us ππ€©
I think the new Kitten , needs a supervisor job. Lol
Lucky Bam likes cats.
Had a couple pussy cats in today, this pretty girl is so chatty, shes a lovely girl, although I'm pretty sure she isn't whispering I love you for giving me a bath. ππ€£π
Now Winter is over, I am having quite a few grooms coming in that have been to long between grroms , I have done a video, to show you guys, even though the dog looks fluffy on top, unless it is on a regular bath and comb out groom schedule, this shows how matted they get and why I have to shave them so short.
This owner knew it had to come off short, but some are surprised, their "Fluffy" dog can't be just combed out.
With Winter being a bit quiet for the grooming, some of my other services kicked in this weekend π Pet / housesitting, and bit yucky and wet, relief milking.
This pretty girl came in this week, a very cute sweetheart. π
