I am will be slowly starting back in the shop next wk, I also feel it’s time I clarify a few things! My tripe’s to Colorado are not a vacation time of all fun, I am a college Student and I spend 8 hours a day I. A classroom and I have requirements and work to do just like all college students!! I will be making some changes,and will be trying to do a more set hours basis, but this will change as well, depending on what I need to get done and I do have my own dogs which need attention. I also want to start to transition into my journey into Ortho-Bionomy as a Ortho-Bionomy student, and this is something that can help animals as well as people. it’s taken longer to recover from my bout of illness this time! Thank you to all my clients that have been patient, supportive!

I apologize to my clients, I hope that all my messages have went through, and am posting here because sometimes my messages can be delayed and sometimes not go through. I have been and am currently stuck in Colorado, dealing with flight cancellations since the weekend and cancellations again this morning and have been told there are no flights going out the rest of the day, so at this time I am dealing with airlines and options.

Educational share, that you don’t have to buy the whole BS, song and dance, that a matted dog always has to shaved down. This can also depend on the type of matting, and if the mats can be gently brushed, worked and combed out, with the dog still be comfortable and not causing discomfort. Yes, it takes time, sometimes a good amount of time, but it can be better for the integrity of the skin to take the time, and Let’s face it, Baby, it’s cold outside!!! To have what we call a pink piglet shave down 😬🥶🥰😊

While I am trying to catch up on posting! I will share that, if I have not gotten back to you to schedule appointments, it’s because, I have been so busy trying to get through not only the previous list of calls,messages, emails, and Facebook messages, but the in coming calls, messages, texts and emails to get appointments set up! I am very greatful for all you and for all the referrals and I also have been dealing with some health issues as well as what is called Trigger finger on both hands and finally took the time to go to a hand specialist, we talked about surgery and Cortisone injection’s and I opted to try the infection in my fingers and hand, both right and left as well, as dealing with continued on and off inflammation in my lungs, this is a post Covid issue. This at times can been extremely depressing and that can cause more feelings of being overwhelmed, it’s life and it’s part of learning how to run and manage a business and of course I have my own fur children and husband at home as well as being a Othro-Bionomy student. I hope to incorporate this healing technique into my love of animals and of Course humans, to help them get relief, from pain, and discomfort! I will share more on this later! I am just wanting to ask that if you have reached out to me, and I have not gotten back to you or you are still waiting, it’s because I go down the list and it’s a fairly long one!, I also, do things a little bit differently then most shops in that, I like to build a bit of a bond with the dog and or cat the first day, this then helps them, to be less anxious, the owner is more at ease and I go at the pace of dog, the next appointments will, be more relaxed for them and the dogs will come in the shop with wagging tails and happy moms and dads! I strive to do the best job and for all to happy, but most importantly, is the mental and emotional well being of dog!! Thank you, please be patient, send me a reminder and I thank all my clients

What is it with social media, I typed up a post and hit post, and apparently it didn’t post!!!🙄😡 my Facebook messenger won’t let me respond to messages most of the times, it can be so frustrating!’n! I apologize, I return back to Iowa on November 7th, I am in class early morning till late! I am still working on getting back to everyone that has reached out and ask that you please be patient! I am one person run my grooming shop a little differently, it sometimes takes a little longer for some dog’s appointments! Nice reminder, the grooming experience is for the dog and to be as less stressful and more enjoyable, I have been blessed to come here and learn how to help people and Animals and it’s a lot and it can be pretty emotionally draining at times, but it’s also healing many parts that need it!Thank you!
