⬆️👩❤️💋👨Update!! 🆙👩❤️👨
The van is currently listed as ‘non driveable’ as it sits in the Ford Dealership awaiting replacement parts. I do not have a definitive timeline of when I get her back. ‘By the end of the week’ is what I’ve been told so it’s what I’m aiming for. I asked if I could drive to get the new parts to make for a quicker turnaround, but that wasn’t an option. So I wait; knowing I have done everything in my power to get back to work but this is the way the cards have shuffled for me this round(and seemingly every hand I’m ever dealt😂🤦🏼♀️).
My plan for now? This week I have rented space Pawleashed by Haley again, and any of you are welcome to text me and we can work out a day/time for you to bring me your dogs. If I have missed you at any increment less than 6 weeks I believe it is in our best interest to wait until our next scheduled appointment. Obviously if I can get to you sooner, I will let you know. But I’m currently working about 7 weeks behind and 8 weeks are my longest maintenance plans. As you can tell, that leaves me with little option on how to proceed.
Of the 94 appointments during my first round out, there were 38 of you that I could not accommodate. That does not include these last 2 weeks of July 30th - August 8th and I don’t want to calculate it because I’ll probably cry. So, if you’re still wanting the mobile grooming I(sometimes) offer I need a little more patience from you because I can’t plan a new schedule without a start date.
If this breakdown has left a sour taste in your mouths, I can offer you the different recommendations of PetSmart, Bark Avenue, and Hupe Groomer that I have seen advertising immediate openings on their books. I am sorry to those of you that I have let down, and those that I have to continue to do so with. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, no one is more disappointed in this turn of events than I am. I am doing the best I can with what I have, and that has to be enough right now.
Here is a picture of my grumpy cat in a box because I haven’t been able to photograph anyone’s dog for longer than I can remember.
