🎄It is December and the joyous season of Christmas has arrived!
🎄We are currently experiencing our busiest time of the year, as we strive to ensure that our furry clients look their absolute best for the upcoming holiday festivities. However, we regret to inform you that all of our appointment slots have been filled for the remainder of the year.
⌛️Due to being a low volume salon we are unable to accommodate any additional appointments.
Our schedule fills up weeks in advance, and our clients make certain to secure their preferred dates and times well in advance.
🕯We will be available from December 3rd to December 23rd if you need to speak with us or come browse our boutique for some last minute gift ideas for the pet lover.
Our Pet Odor Candles make great gifts.
Shop small and support local small businesses.
Wishing you a delightful December filled with joy and happiness!
Happy Holidays,
Dawn 🎄

From my family to yours, we extend our warmest wishes to everyone for a blessed day.
As we are preparing for our big feast later today, we are watching The National Dog Show by Purina and enjoying all the beautiful dog breeds.
Enjoy your dinner and remember to make sure if you are going to share some of your dinner with your furry companions that they are pet safe.. 🦃

As per my sweet client Lilly, pictured here, I have been bestowed with a new job title. I am now known as a Furologist.
I now have the socks to prove it. 😆
I would like to express my gratitude to Lilly and her mother for their thoughtful birthday gift.
I love eccentric socks which are a part of my daily work uniform.

We are closed today to celebrate our birthday.
We will be back to work bright and early tomorrow 🥳

🕯Feeling a bit sad this morning...
I sent out my appointment reminders and learned that one of my regular clients would not be coming in with his sister today.
🐩 I met Ozzie the standard poodle when he was 4 months old, when he was referred to me for his first grooming. I've had the privilege of being his groomer now for the past 3 years.
Unfortunately he was diagnosed with a chronic health condition awhile ago that inevitably has taken him from us to soon.
He crossed the Rainbow Bridge this week surounded by his family and his sister Frankie.
They were scheduled first thing this morning but it was just Frankie.
Instead of her usual play, she just hoped up on my table and layed down until we got started.
Ozzie enjoyed his grooming and our routine, playing with toys and barking at me when I wouldn't pay attention to him.
One of the funniest memories I'll never forget is when i was sitting on my grooming stool with my back to him and he jumped up and grabbed my hair bun to get my attention. I turned around and he was crouched in the downward dog position like let's go lady its playtime!
Pet groomers do have a fun job but it does come with risk and also heartache. This is the hardest part of the job, saying goodbye.
I just want his mom and dad to know he was loved here, too. 💙

❄️ It is that time of the year again, when we welcome our snowbird friends back to our community.
Our friend Cooper is the first of the season to return from Canada.
We are fortunate to have a wonderful group of yearly snowbirds who continue to choose our services while they stay through our Florida winter. 🌴
Welcome back snowbirds!

🍁Happy November
We are officially in our peak, holiday season and the end of the year is just weeks away. We are already prebooking into 2025.
We have filled all of our appointments through the remainder of the year with our clients who are on a prebooking schedule.
If you are a client of ours, then you know that we book out weeks in advance.
Being that we are a small business with limited staff, we are able to continue to offer customers quality care and service to our clients.
We do keep a cancelation list but cannot guarantee an appointment.
After our 7th year, we appreciate all our clients who have chosen us as their pets service provider this past year. 🍂

Did You Know...
Today is...
National Pet Groomer Appreciation Day.
I'll be celebrating doing what i do best, beautifying some of my favorite friends.
Pet grooming is not an easy job by any means. It is very physically and emotionally draining but also very rewarding.
And while people think we play with puppies all day, what we see and deal with on a daily basis, most people would find it difficult to handle.
It is definitely a specialty trade that requires skill, expertise and lots of patience.
We truly love our furry clients.
I know for myself, I have chosen one of the best careers there is ♥️

We will be closed today;
But don't worry. we'll be back at it bright and early tomorrow at 8:30 sharp, just like our scissors ✂️
See you then!

What a hectic couple of months it has been for us! 😱
From having to close for almost 2 weeks back in September (first time in 7 years other than for a vacation) and then having to deal with back-to-back hurricanes within 2 weeks of each other at the beginning of October. 🌀💨
Hurricane Milton was 1 week ago today. We were left without power for the remainder of the week causing us to remain closed until this past Tuesday, 10/15. 🚫
We had to cancel a week's worth of work and now have the task of rescheduling everyone into our already full, pre-booked schedule. 🗓️
We would like to let our clients know that we are now reopened and doing our best to accommodate everyone that has to be rescheduled which will finish out the month of October. 😊
With only 2 months left in 2024, which is our peak holiday season, we will put out a post next week to remind our clients that space is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.
🦃 For instance as of today, Thanksgiving is just 6 weeks away!
⏰ The time to book is now before we close our books until next year.
15/10/2024
A new week has begun for us Tuesday through Saturday.
We will resume operations on Tuesday, October 15, after Hurricane Milton caused a four-day power outage in our Salon location.
We now face the challenge of rescheduling four days' worth of canceled appointments into an already full schedule.
We will make every effort to accommodate everyone, but our space and times are limited.
We ask for your understanding that this was beyond our control but you may decide to use other service providers and we completely understand.
We will address holiday appointments soon, but please note that we are now ten weeks away from Christmas, so this is officially considered our holiday season.🌲

📣 Good Morning, today is Friday October 11.
Unfortunately due to Hurricane Milton, we lost power here at the salon.
Due to this, we are unable to receive phone calls or see our furry clients just yet.
According to Duke Energy, they are still in the process of assessment so we will patiently wait.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we will let you know as soon as we reopen.
09/10/2024
📣 For the safety of our clients and our ourselves, we are heeding the warnings and preparing for the impending Hurricane 🌀
We will be closing at 1 PM on Tuesday 10/8.
We do not have a date of reopening yet as that depends on the aftermath Milton leaves behind.
We will keep everyone posted with updates as possible.
We are praying for all of our clients, friends and fellow Floridians who will be affected by Milton.
Stay Safe everyone 🙏
