🐶🐶🐶ANNOUNCEMENT 🐶🐶🐶

Hi all 💜

I haven’t been on here a while, since my van went off the road. As most of you know, I had been looking for a home back in Dundee with a suitable garden to build a summerhouse salon since my vans engine is unfixable. We have FINALLY found our perfect new home and we are now in and settled 🥰 Although, due to us finding our forever home taking a lot longer than anticipated, it is still going to be a good while yet before my salon is built, let alone ready to work in.. BUT since I am itching at the bit to get back to work and back to spending my days with my furry babies! 🐶 I have made the decision to continue to use my van for grooming until my summerhouse is ready. Obviously this means I am NO LONGER MOBILE. The van won’t drive however the work space inside is perfectly fine, so I will be working from the van, stationary, at my home 🏡

I have yet to confirm an exact date of when I will be taking appointments but I wanted to give the heads up to anyone who may want to return to me or anyone in the DD2 area who may be in need of a dog groomer to keep your eyes peeled for an update post within the next week 👀 as I will be starting next month once all my grooming equipment has been serviced and updated..

The passed 6 months have been difficult and I cannot wait to get back to business and hope to see some familiar faces and furry friends 💜

Please feel free to share 💫

I am back on the road!!! 🎊

Finally after 6 longgg weeks! Just so you can all see how long my van has been in the garage for, it failed it’s MOT on the 4th of April and just finally fixed and passed yesterday 👇..

This has been absolutely hellish, not being able to work or even drive myself anywhere. But mostly disheartening that 2 years of working hard and growing a lovely client base has basically been wiped as people will have been forced to go elsewhere, understandably of course you can’t just leave your dog to get dirty and matted because your groomer is unavailable, it’s just unfortunate that this has happened and took so long ☹️ but I am back on the road and cannot wait to hopefully see some familiar face 💜

I am basically starting from scratch again so bare with me when it comes to mails/messages/calls 😰 I am working my way through mailing my regular clients to arrange appointments to those who still want one before I take on any new clients..

I appreciate everyone’s patience and support 💜🐾

Hi everyone, the response you are getting when you message this page is an automatic response I set a while back, it is not me responding. I can’t get it changed for some reason (any help there is appreciated…)

I still don’t have my van back. I’ve paid for my MOT and sitting nearly 5 weeks without it still… I keep giving out days to you all then I’m told a different day from the garage due to illness etc on their part, therefore letting you all down over and over again so I’ve made the decision to just stay quiet on here until I know for definite that I’m picking my van up… Again I’m sorry for the inconvenience. As you can imagine, 5 weeks of not being able to work when you are self employed is an absolute nightmare in itself..

You will all be the first to know when I have the go ahead to go and pick it up 💜

Hi everyone, sorry I’m trying to keep up and explain to everyone all day, every day so just posting another status…

My van is still in the garage, the reason it’s taken so long is that the man who is fixing my van has covid.. He is back to work on Thursday, although I still don’t have an exact date that I will have it back so it’s just a waiting game..

I realise this is frustrating and an inconvenience but please bare with me. I’m super stressed, I’m almost 3 weeks behind on my appointments which I am going to have to reschedule in time that I hardly have, I’m feeling horrible and anxious about letting my clients down, I’m stuck without a vehicle to get myself and Cruz about and as it’s my livelihood I can’t make any money until my van is fixed and have the bill for the MOT itself on top of that all 🤯😣

I really do appreciate everyone’s patience, all I can do right now is promise to let everyone know when my van is fixed

💜💜

Super stressed trying to keep up with all my mails so just to let everyone know my van is still off the road 😣 I don’t know when I will have it back, just hoping it will be the start of next week 🤞.. I will let everyone know when I have it back 💜

05/04/2022

Hi everyone, I know I have a lot of mails to get through which I’ll try and do before the end of the day. I’ve been waiting to hear back about my van before making any set appointments.. My van is still in the garage as my MOT failed last week and is going to be around another week for everything to be fixed.

I appreciate your patience and as soon as I’m back on the road I will let everyone know..

This is a real stress as if I don’t have my van I can’t make a living.. I’m doing my absolute best to get this sorted as quick as poss and get back on the road 🙏💜

Hi everyone. There seems to be an issue with my business app/messenger! I’m not receiving some messages and I think some of my messages aren’t being received.. Also my appointments have all gone to pot. Trying my hardest to sort this out asap 😰.. I’m not ignoring anyone, bare with me and for anything urgent please text or email me 🙏💜

Hi everyone 💜🐾

First off I would just like to say a massive thank you to all my lovely clients, regular and new. The last couple of months have been extremely challenging and hectic with being off with COVID, having to move house suddenly right before Christmas, Christmas for my son to sort out and issues with my van etc. It’s been difficult and I had fallen so far behind with work and mails. 99% of my lovely clients have been so super amazing and understanding and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you all 💜

My first and foremost priority will always be my son. I have a 2 year old and if I do have to drop everything at the last minute for him I will. I am also only human, I am being a mum to a wildfire beautiful son, trying running a business, which I’m still learning about daily, as it’s only been a year since I started out. Moving house very suddenly and other things on top of this and I am doing all of this by myself. It’s extremely challenging and I can only do my very best. Which sometimes runs me into the ground but I do try to keep everyone happy. If anyone has felt ignored or I haven’t replied quick enough I can only sincerely apologise, i sometimes have 30 odd mails in a day to try and get on top of 🤯 I can assure you it is not intentional in any way. I’m just one gal trying to do a million things 😰

On that note I have closed my diary for December as I am fully booked now until Christmas when I will be taking a proper break off to enjoy with my son 💙

Again a massive appreciation to all my lovely clients, my beautiful pups and their amazing humans. I hope you all have the best Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year! Lots of love Sam 💜🐾

Hello everyone ☺️ my van went in for its MOT and unfortunately needs some work done so I’m without it for a couple of days!

Worst timing ever considering I couldn’t get anywhere for almost a week due to the snow, then I was unwell last week.. Now this 🤯

The passed 3 weeks have been nothing but a stress!

Thank you to all my clients for your understanding and patience, it’s much appreciated and I’ll back on track in a couple of days 💜🐾

Hello! Just to make everyone aware, due to the obvious current situation.. I can only groom for ‘essential’ welfare reasons. I am still getting through my diary to let everyone know wether their appointments can go ahead or not.. Please bear with me and I will make sure to contact everyone with a new appointment when restrictions have eased, thank you for your understanding 🙏💜
