2024 is a wrap!
Thank you so so so much for thinking of me during the holiday season!
I feel so appreciated with your holiday bonuses, homemade holiday treats (Kim, they are my favorite!), custom ornaments (Shout out to Knuckles & Chris), gifts & cards. I LOVE cards. I read through each and every card again and then I make them into gift tags so they can continue to give. 💛 Stay tuned for 2024 photos. The hot coco bar theme was a success. I'll be posting those once I get a deep clean done in the salon and a shower for myself. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I am so blessed.

To any of my clients who still follow the page because I am not very active here.
I finished the 2025 standing appointments last week and I'm sitting down to send you all the links now!
Thank you for sending your requests back in September. There isn't much of a need to build in administrative time to my work schedule any other time of the year so it really does take me a long time to create the schedule. Thanks for your patience.
Please go through the dates and reply with some sort of approval 👍🏻
Appointment times may vary from appointment to appointment.
I did my very best to follow your specific requests. The schedules are created in the order they were received to make it most fair. And if you told me you are flexible, I usually do take advantage of that flexibility out of need. So just a heads up, you might be all over the board.
I think that covers it! Contact me with needed adjustments or any questions at all. 🫶🏻

Edit******Most have been sent. Remaining will be sent tomorrow after 9am.

I have no clue if anyone saw this because I shared it at 11pm on a Saturday like a psychopath. I was working on my own schedule yesterday and I am ready to start making all of yours. 💛

It's time again for me to begin creating my 2025 schedule. If you have a standing appointment now in 2024, I'll be sending the email out to you Monday morning. It will be a Google form submission again. It worked really well for me last year. Please remember these schedules are created in the order they are received. The faster you submit, the more likely you will have the exact schedule you asked for. I will have them done by the time you come for your October appointments.

If you are not on a standing appointment and would like to have one for next year, please contact me directly. I have a spot or 2 depending on your availability.

Lastly, November & December 2024 is filling fast. If you don't have an appointment scheduled and you know you want holiday photos, please book now.

Summer has begun and I don't mind at all if your kiddos are sent to pick up the pups. As you know, my appointments run very close together. If your kids are picking up, I will need their cell phone numbers. Please stress to them they need to arrive on time. I really wish I could be more flexible and low key with this, but I cannot. Also, payments need to made before pick up. Cash or check can be sent with your kiddo or Zelle should be sent before pick up.
Thanks for understanding!!! 💛

Effective June 1 there will be a price adjustment (if it has not been made already) on bath dogs over 20 lbs and all double coated dogs.

Since we are showing signs of an early spring, I thought it was a good time to post my annual reminder about flea prevention and my flea policy. It's probably a great idea to get your preventative ordered now for the season and to get into the habit of checking your dogs before their appointments. I do not allow fleas in my home salon. If fleas are found, you will be called for pick up immediately and there will be a fee for cleaning and possibly having to rearrange or cancel the rest of my day in order to clean and sanitize. If you find fleas, you can contact me to cancel your appointment with no penalty. This year there will be an update to the policy. If your dog has fleas, I am asking that you reschedule any appointments over the course of 12 weeks. This is typically the amount of time it will take (based on the life cycle of a flea) once intervention has begun for you to be clear.

Now TLDR.........*****Fleas can happen to ANYONE. I am not judging. My clients are diligent and caring owners. However, I can't have fleas in my home. I have kept the business in my home because it's the only place I can groom low volume, the way I want, and take the time each dog needs without the pressure to groom more dogs in order to pay high overhead costs of a retail space. This strict flea policy is the solution and will keep a clean space for all of our pets. Thanks!

Is there anyone who had to book an appointment further out than they would have liked because I didn't have anything available??? I have an opening Tuesday 2/20 and 2 openings Tuesday 2/27. Text me and we can move you up! Photo of Scott in his cone for tax. He's recovering really well from his surgery for removal of his bladder stones this passed week. 💛

I have a few clients who like to order from my daughter. The time got away from me and today is the last day to order online for them to be delivered to you or pick up at salon

I took the time during my break to complete The Fear Free Groomer certification course. Although I was already incorporating many of these concepts and techniques, it's going to be helpful to use educational materials & continuing education with maintaining a membership with this organization. I have some ideas to streamline what is already being done in the salon between you and I to provide the best experience for your pup. Weather permitting, I'll be back to work tomorrow! See you soon!

Hi! Happy New Year! I'll be back to work on the 9th and in the meantime I'm enjoying some down time with the family. It's the one time of year when we just rest because let's be honest our vacations are more like adventures and not very relaxing! I'll be taking some time for restocking supplies, deep cleaning, and organizing too. And now that the cat is out of the bag, I'll be taking one more holiday pup! Bailey K got a new sister and I'm so excited to meet her! Look at how cute she is!!!Congratulations!
I always manage to make space for new additions of my established clients, but it might be worth mentioning I no longer accept new large breed haircuts or double coated dogs. I do have some good local recommendations for service in that case. I digress. Just wanted to wish everyone health and happiness in 2024. Can't wait to see you all soon!
