I still have appointments open for the 19th (small only), 21st, 22nd and 28th before I'm not available till November. I can do house call (less than 50lbs) or in my home salon. If house call I have more times open than what I'd have for the home salon just due to weather.

On the 25th I am holding a Garage sale to clean out a storage unit I acquired that's filled with New, gently used and used items if anyone wants to come look as well as I need the things gone xD yes I'm aware this isn't grooming related but wanted to share with my followers and clients. It'll be anything from books and clothes to more very specific things like incubators (eggs), treadmill, dehydrator and so on like things cause it's just a hodgepodge of things.

Getting my recertification :)

I'm opening up availability for new House Call (in your home) clients. Weight limit of 50 or less. This includes just nail trims as well. I have about 10 spots for baths and full grooms but pretty much unlimited for nail trims. Please share the word if you know someone who might like this and they can inquire more info if they're interested in this service.

Okay so I was waiting to post this till I'd had it back a few days. My car is back! A ground wire had come loose and wasn't attached which was causing all the issues with the battery and them dying left right and center. Fingers crossed that there won't be any more issues. Side note, will barter grooms for a new car xD I can dream right.

Thank you all for your understanding during this rough patch.

Car is still in the shop, unsure when I'll have a working car. Sadly I can't afford to hold onto a rental car more than a couple days at a time right now. I'm sorry please bare with me.

Currently all house call appointments are on hold. If you have one scheduled anytime after the 10th please keep an eye out as I may need to reschedule. I'm having a lot of car issues and my car keeps dying and won't start even with a jump. It's at the shop for the 2nd time in 3 times. I'm going to call and see what the shop says when they open this morning as depending on what it is I can't afford a rental and pay for repairs as this happened just after getting back to work after being out for about 6 weeks for surgery recovery.

So I'm back grooming, trying to get back into so I'm not doing too many a day right now. Hopefully I'll be back to full swing by late Sept.

Again October 28-Nov 2 I will not be available for grooming appointments. So make sure to get those appointments in to be ready for the spooky season before they're filled.

07/22/2025

Wanted to give y'all an update, I'm recovering pretty well (my thoughts not sure if I really am or not) and my check up is for Aug 19th to see if I can get back to grooming on the 20th or if she's going to make me wait another 2 weeks (as it can be 6-8 weeks for full recovery to heavy lift over 20lbs again) so fingers crossed I want to get back to seeing my furry work family again and lovely clients.

Also just so everyone doesn't get shocked October 28th to Nov 2nd (2025) and March 2nd to March 27th (2026) I will not be grooming due to being away so mark those dates and get your appointments in before. I will be doing my best to contact clients who don't have facebook to inform them as well.

When I get back to grooming I'll be taking new house call ONLY clients (this is where I come to your home and groom your dog inside your home.) for dogs 40-50lbs and under (as I have to be able to lift onto the table to work) so if you know someone interested in this pass my info along.

I offer (Brief info of each, if interested please inquire for more info)

--bath and go (I do the nails, bathe and ONLY towel dry. No force dryer so the dog will still be wet in some areas but I do my best to get them where they're not soaked) not recommended for long or thick coated dogs, ideal for seniors/dogs with certain health/behavior issues or; Some MD coats, Short coats, and long haired dogs clipped short

--haircut ONLY, nails included. Your dog might have some areas of long hair still and look uneven in some areas but this is a great option for older dogs and dogs that have certain health/behavior issues

--Bath and Haircut, this is just what it sounds. Drying includes force dryer drying. However if it's a dog with certain health/behavior issues or a senior dog that can't handle the dryer but does need a bath I will do the best haircut I can before the bath then bathe and towel dry only.

--Bath (just what it sounds like with for force dryer)

If you aren't sure which is best please ask, also all prices I give to any inquires are ESTIMENTS ONLY! I will let you know what might make the price change, sometimes the price goes down not up.

Surgery from Monday went well, I am recovering and annoyed not able to drive for at least a week and the weight restrictions because I'm getting bored. I will keep updated when I'm back to grooming.

When I return I wont be doing any dogs larger than 30lbs for the first couple weeks as I get back into the grove and returning to how I was prior (in other words listening to my body). Once im feeling better I'll start going up in weight.

However I am not longer accepting new clients over 60lbs for home and mobile and nothing over 40lbs for house call, current clients over this youre fine do not worry its just for new clients or ones who've I've not seen in a year or longer.

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. My website is currently gone, I still own the domain but haven't been able to find a new host for it, almost $1000 for 3 years is a little steep.

As of right now, I have no more appointments open till I am back to work in (hopefully) late Aug as I'm having Surgery on July 7th. I might be able to find something if things change so you're always welcome to message to see. When I get back I'm planning some things and changes, some good and some not so good but all are in the best for what I need to do, to go forward.

Please make sure you're treating your pets for fleas and ticks this season.

Here is a report published 2025 - however, no recent maps.

Zoonotic tracking should be documented through TX Health and Human Services.

🚨 TYPHUS. In North Texas. From fleas.
Yep… it’s giving 2020 flashbacks. 🙃 But we’re serious.
We’ve (personally) now seen TWO human cases in just the last few months — right here in DFW.

Let’s break it down:
Flea-borne typhus (aka murine typhus) is spread by fleas carried by rats, opossums, stray cats, dogs, etc. And once it hits humans?
It can get real bad real fast.
😵‍💫 Symptoms hit like a truck:
🔥 High fever
🤕 Headache, chills, body aches
🤢 Nausea or vomiting
🧩 Rash
And sometimes, a trip to the hospital if not caught in time.

Here’s the kicker:
IT’S PREVENTABLE.

✨ Monthly flea & tick meds on your pets = your first line of defense
✨ Don’t let your pets party with wild animals
✨ Clean up your yard + block off rodent hideouts

We hate fear-mongering. But we hate preventable illness even more.
Do your pets (and yourself) a favor.
Check those flea meds. Mark your calendars. Stay safe, North Texas. 💪
