GARNET is hoping you have a quiet place for him to curl up and enjoy lots of cat naps 💙 He is a handsome tiger who is only about 1-year-old 🐾 Garnet came to the shelter through no fault of his own with his kitty friends and wouldn't mind having feline friends in his new home too 💙 Although he is often hiding when you come into the room, he happily comes out of hiding for some attention 💙If you could give Garnet the kind of home he is looking for, submit your application today (https://fourfootedfriends.org/index.html ) 🐾

*Clients Please Read*

You may have heard through news sources of a new respiratory virus going around with dogs. To my knowledge there haven't been cases reported in our area but please make sure your pet isn't displaying any signs of being sick before bringing them for grooming.

* Talk to your veterinarian about vaccines recommended before entering the groomer, boarding kennel, dog park etc.

* If your pet is displaying any signs of illness PLEASE call to reschedule. Vomiting, lethargy, coughing, diaherrea etc.

My tools, kennels, tables, and tubs are disinfected between pets to help prevent anything from being spread.

***I have had ZERO reports of pet illness and am just posting this as precaution as your pet can pick up viruses anywhere just like people. ***

I also ask to please pick up your pets asap after you are notified they are finished so pets in the shop at a time are limited.

Thank you for your cooperation! 🐾

We need help!

We are running dangerously low on non-clumping cat litter, Purina one chicken and rice dog food, and blankets for our furry friends!

As far as blankets go we love couch throws, fluffy blankets, knitted blankets, etc. We cannot use comforters because of the stuffing, flat sheets because they don't hold temperature well, or electrical blankets because of the wires.

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t 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.

Friends and family 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 can’t get to everyone’s 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 the while being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.
It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices. So understand the cost of doing business is a LOT higher post Covid.

I copied this from another small business owner that I support!

Please support small business! 🖤🖤🖤
JUST NORMAL PEOPLE WE ARE HUMAN TOO. Pray for us please….
