Good evening everyone,

Thank you all for the cards, kind words and thoughtful gifts since my boy Buddy passed!

All very much appreciated.

I would like to introduce you to the ‘Forever Friends’ Memorial Wall.

I used this picture of Buddy because it captures his spirit and also captures how calm I like to keep my shop.

He was the only one that always fell asleep in the tub but nearly all dogs take a nap after bath time. It is always so nice to see dogs so relaxed and comfortable that they can sleep!

For the Memorial Wall, anyone that has recently lost a friend please feel free to bring over a picture of them and I will put it on the wall in their memory and beside their friend Buddy.

In memory of Buddy and for those that loose a friend, from now on I will donate $100 to an animal charity of your choice.

I will not make any posts about lost dogs, everyone will be treated with respect and privacy.

I will do this so that in the saddest of times you may find a little comfort knowing that they will help a soul less fortunate, also so that you will know they are missed and remembered not just at home.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

Good morning everyone!

Anyone that is being affected by the government shutdown please feel free to contact me directly.

I don’t want anyone to feel like they can’t bring their dogs in for their appointment as scheduled.

Deferred payments are not a problem if necessary.

Please send me a text message if needed.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

Good morning everyone!

Here are the last available Grooming appointments before the end of the year.

• Drop in services will be available daily.

• Bathing appointments are available right up to December 19th but as we get closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas availability for bath only appointments will be tight.

I won’t leave anyone without an appointment but priority will go to those with an existing appointment to make sure their dogs aren’t here longer than usual.

Short notice add in appointments if and when available will take longer to finish.

Good morning everyone!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the warm weather, hopefully it will last a while longer.

20 Grooming appointments left for 2025!

I will be able to add some bathing and tidy up appointments throughout the end of the year but haircuts take time and are difficult to add to my schedule.

If you haven’t already scheduled appointments please let me know as soon as you can.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

P.s 2026 schedule will open on November 29th

It is with heartbreaking sadness that I am letting you know that our boy Buddy left us yesterday after 16 years together.

He was the soul of Drummonds and his contribution to this business and to so many dogs can’t be put into words.

I have never known a dog to be able to put the most nervous of dogs at ease and make friends so easily.

I am telling you this from a professional standpoint because he was a huge part of this business and community.

On a personal level I must ask that you respect our privacy as a family.

Please do not send any messages.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

Good morning everyone,

I’m still working through appointment requests for the end of 2025

I will hopefully get everything sent out today

It can take a while for people to check their own schedule against appointments that I can offer and then confirm, that’s what can cause a delay in responding to you

I will make sure that all of my regular clients are taken care of so dont worry if you haven’t scheduled or if I haven’t got back to you yet

I still have appointments available but today I can say with confidence that 2025 is full

Thank you for your part in making this another successful year for a small business

This doesn’t happen anywhere else, certainly not in August

I absolutely appreciate every one of you for making this happen year after year

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

Good morning everyone!

We got back to Alameda a few days ago.

Thank you for all the messages of support while we were away, visa applications are very stressful but all of your messages certainly helped.

I can now open up my schedule for the rest of this year!

I know it’s too early to think about Christmas but it will come around fast.

Please let me know via text message if you have preferred days and times for appointments through December 19th.

Opening times through December:

Monday - Tuesday - Thursday - Friday
10am - 7pm

Wednesday
10am - 1pm

Thanksgiving Week TBC.

Thank you,

Nicholas.

Hello from St. Stephens Green, Dublin, Ireland.

My new visa has been approved and I will be able to return to Alameda soon.

I will open up the last three months of 2025 once I get back.

See you soon!

Nicholas.

Good morning everyone!

Just received this.

I have said for a long time that I am a very small part of your dogs lives.

I know that a lot of hard work is done by you in the 6-8-10 weeks between your appointments, a lot of brushing, checking for foxtails, keeping an eye on their coats etc.

I also know that at times I have asked a lot of you to reschedule appointments at short notice so I could look after my family and it really means a lot that not one of you have ever refused or caused any difficulties.

So Ladies and Gentlemen! Please take bow and be proud of what you have done for your dogs and a small local business.

This is not an award for me, this belongs to all of you.

It belongs to Bay Farm, it belongs to Alameda, Oakland, San Francisco and further away where some of you live or have moved to recently.

I am extremely proud to have you as clients and also very proud to be trusted with your dogs again and again, year after year.

This is the second year in a row that this award has been given to Drummond’s and it can’t all be done by one person, this is a team effort and always has been.

Thank you!

Nicholas.

Good afternoon everyone!

Some great feedback from my new treats.

Plenty of work to do to get ready for full retail but I’m hoping to make it to some farmers markets and similar events soon.

Thank you all!
