What a weekend.....definitely bittersweet. I rented a dumpster and we cleaned out the basement, tore out the old 'original' shop, the sheds, the attic, etc. I absolutely could not have done it without Lindsie, Michael, my sister Erin, Brian, Larry, Samuel, and the kids. This was the next necessary step to reach some of my goals that I have put off for a very long time. I am truly humbled by all the help 🙏 I definitely could not have done this alone. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, seriously, and am excited and ready for what I have planned next ☺️
Too funny not to share! A quick glimpse of playtime, luckily pre-bath with Bailey, one of my customers.....lol.
Well, Larry and I finally decided to take Polly popup camping this weekend in Letchworth. It has been pouring almost nonstop, but we are still enjoying some dog free downtime in the world's cutest camper....lol. I don't have the best signal, but as soon as I'm home on Monday I will return all the calls, texts, emails.

How do you know when your dog is owned by a dog groomer? 🤣
A quick update as to what's going on and how PawSnickety Grooming will be handling the upcoming months. As always, I seriously cherish and love you all....especially your furkids. All of your flexibility with me and my health is a true blessing....I am so grateful for all of you. I plan on continuing to groom your babies...I love them and y'all dearly ❤️ Just put up with me a bit longer....I swear....we are almost there 🙏
A quick update on my health for everyone...this looks like the last pothole in a very bumpy road thankfully. I love and appreciate you all ❤️
A quick update for everyone on my health challenges and maybe, finally, the last bump in the road for a while. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and truly love and appreciate every single one of you ❤️
Day 1 back in the shop: COMPLETE. I am definitely a bit sore, but it looks like I am hanging in there better than the rest of my crew who are all out cold 🤣
Plans for tomorrow: come up with a solid, realistic game plan to get everyone caught back up. I will be reaching out to anyone that has not heard from me personally yet in the next couple days!
Larry and I decided at the last minute to still go away for a couple days (something we had planned for our anniversary over a month ago), even after the horrible week we had....In case you didn't hear, someone at a local drive thru stole my business debit card information and literally left me with $14. I had just taken out a personal loan to replace some desperately needed shop tools, help with xmas, and to prepare the shop to work alone in after the 1st of the year. They took every dime of it. I am working with the police and they are hoping to make an arrest very soon; with any luck, the bank will refund me the money sooner rather than later.
Anyway, the point of this post....I have really been thinking about closing the shop and going back to the corporate/office world. I thought this was finally the straw that broke the camels back as I'm not sure how I'm going to come back from this hit yet and I have less than 3 weeks to figure that all out.
Then, as we are going through the airport security, they pull us to be sniffed by a drug/bomb sniffing dog. I was mesmerized. Dogs are absolutely amazing creatures. Whether they are police dogs, service animals, or just chubby little sh*tzus that bring a smile to your face when you walk in the door, I realize how much my purpose on this earth truly is to work with them and help them in any possible way I can. I am going to trust that the universe will help me figure the rest out ❤️
Happy 4th to all my furry and human friends! Stay safe!!
💥🇺🇲 Stay safe!!
