Grooming by Ashley Decker

I figured that I would try to post here as well and share my go fund me. We recently lost a lot in a house fire… it’s been a crazy year, but the last few months have been really rough. I’m hoping that I can reach my goal so that way my son, Cole, and our pup Rory can all move into our own place. Cole still brings up at least 2 times a week that he’s happy that I didn’t die in the fire, and I’m thankful too. I’d rather be the one dealing with carbon monoxide poisoning than either the dogs or kiddos. I had saved up money to get our own place, and any savings I had, went towards replenishing what we had lost. I’m not really one to ask for help, but even $1 would be a huge help at this point. I know the economy isn’t the best right now, and it’s rough for everyone. Believe me, especially the last 1-2 years has been the worst times of our lives, we lost my mom, and I lost 3 dogs within a few months span right after mom too. I know I’m asking for a lot, but I know that once Cole, Rory and I get settled into our own space, we will get a good routine down, and I will be back, stronger than ever. Right now, it feels like the stress just keeps on coming and isn’t letting up at all. And I know it’s affecting my work, and my communication skills as well. And like I said, I don’t really ever like asking for help, but we’re only human, and everybody needs help from time to time. And thank you to everyone who has donated and reached out to me, I truly appreciate you all so so much! You have helped me so much and I can’t express my gratitude towards you all.

I will also leave all other handles as well in case you don’t want to leave anything on the go fund me since they take a percentage. And I know if it were me donating, I’d rather send it to the source than through a website I know takes some of the money out from the person who really, desperately needs it. Thank you all again!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a heads up, kiddo and I will be traveling to Colorado next week, so I will be unavailable from 4/10-4/17. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter and Passover!!

Also, my Facebook for whatever reason is NOT giving me my notifications, and if I DO get them, they’re days-weeks later which is super frustrating for me and you guys too. You can always text me though at 609-346-1210. I always get my texts, it may be a day or two until I respond depending on how much work I have, and once I get home I make dinner for the family and have family time, so between everything, I try my best to respond back to everyone and to be as accommodating as possible. The next month will be difficult for me and my family, my moms one year passing mark is on Easter… it’s going to be hard to celebrate what’s usually a fun, easy going holiday, knowing that my mom isn’t with us and a year ago that day, we lost her unexpectedly. Plus, Mother’s Day is coming up, my moms bday, and her anniversary to my stepdad and we will also be spreading her ashes as per her wishes.. it all happens spaced out in the next month, so if I seem more upset, or spaced out, just understand that the year of firsts without a loved one is one of the hardest things to go through, even with support. Thank you all for being so understanding and so loving, I appreciate every single one of you and love you all!!!

If anyone is looking for a new furry addition (golden doodle. I think they’re F1B’s) But a good friend of mine and my neighbor, had puppies!! I went and groomed dad not too long ago and got to play with the puppies and omg they’re so cute and sweet!!!!! They’ve been raised with kids, in a home/family setting and the whole litter has been together so they’re used to dogs too!
If you’d like more info, I can give you his phone number! Just let him know that I sent you and he’ll probably discount you! 🐶🐶🐶

Edit: the second picture is one of the pipe next to dad. Mom is a little smaller. Dad has a super outgoing personality and loves everyone! Mom is super down to earth and a little more shy. Pups all seem to be a mix of both, which is perfect! Eeek!!! They’re so cute!!!

For anyone trying to get a hold of me for grooming appointments, please be patient with me, I have covid thanks to my little spawn. And I’m still trying to take care of him while he’s home recovering, and I’ve unfortunately gotten it. So I’m not feeling the best right now, and don’t have the brain complicity to schedule anything right now, hopefully within the next few days I’ll feel better and start rescheduling everyone and things can go back to normal! Hashtag F**k covid

Hope you all have a safe and happy thanksgiving!!!

The last 6 months have been living hell: in April my mom died, 3 days later Bailey had to be put to sleep due to a tumor in his sinus, then a few months later addy had to be put down due to the inoperable stomach tumor she had. And now my poor sweet Nel squeezed out from our fence, and got hit by two cars and passed away… I’m absolutely devastated and the only way I know how to heal is to have another baby in the house to love and spoil beyond belief. The kids need this too, they have all been so heartbroken and sad. Our family just needs some happiness back

As everyone knows. The last 6 months of my life have been a living hell. I lost my mom due to cancer in April. 3 days later I had to put my pug Bailey down to go cancer, and 5 months later, put addy to sleep because of an inoperable stomach cancer. And my poor puppy Nel squeezed through the fence (with me watching) and I chased her to get her to come back and she was tragically hit by a car and died… I don’t know how much more I can take. Nel was helping my heart to heal after all of the devastating things that were happening, and I know that getting another fur baby will help heal some of the pain… I know we’re all tight with money right now, but any donation would be more than appreciated. My beautiful sister made me this go fund me so I can find my new soul dog and we can live a happy, LONG, healthy life together. I don’t usually ask for donations of any sort, but this would mean the world to me. If you’re not able to, I completely understand and I get it. But if you are, I will be truly indebted to you for this massive act of kindness. Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I’m sorry it’s filled with such bad news… but myself and my almost 10 year old son have been through hell and we need a bright spot in our lives now more than ever

Hey everyone! So…. My phone stopped working yesterday afternoon.. If you need me you can message me here! It may take a little longer to get back to you since I need Wi-Fi on the tablet, but I’m going to the Verizon store first thing to HOPEFULLY get a new phone since I’m due for an upgrade anyway. Just SUPERRRR annoying since it just got paid off. Urghhhh. So I’m sorry for any delays for today!

BEAN!!!! I got to groom a cat-dog today! 😂😂😂 And Bean said “make sure to get my good side” 🤣 Such a BIG personality in such a lil body!!!!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to start off and say I’m sorry if I haven’t gotten back to you messages yet, I’m slowly working my way through them. Since the passing of my mom, I’ve been very scatterbrained. I’ve had my good moments, and I’ve also had some bad days where nothing seems to help. I’ve been told that this is a normal part of the grieving process unfortunately. But I am not ignoring you, I promise!! Lol. Sometimes I may need an extra text/message just as a reminder because as I said, I’m a bit scatterbrained.
Also, the school year is quickly coming to an end. I am a one woman, family owned and operated business (family being me and Cole. He helps tell me how cute the dogs are and if I need to improve on my haircuts 😂 Everyones a critic 🤣) but, I am working on finding him a babysitter for this summer so I can work, and take care of everyone’s puppy haircuts. With that being said, there may be a few days where I will have a not to little tag along and help out. (I like to think he helps boost morale. But he lousy pets the dogs and plays with them haha). But I just wanted to give a heads up that whereas I am trying to find a babysitter for him, there may be some days that he will accompany me. And for any of you that know Cole, you know that he’s usually pretty awesome and just hangs out with us. I will also have weekends open like I usually do. And any dogs who are not kid friendly, I will schedule you either on evenings, or weekends when I can have Cole stay home or the weeks he is with his father (every other week). Thanks for your understanding on everything! I am slowly, but surely getting back to a more normal routine, unfortunately after losing someone who was my whole world, and who gave me life, it can take some time to bounce back, and I appreciate you all sticking with me and being so sympathetic and understanding and flexible with me ❤️

As if this month hasn’t already been the hardest month of my ENTIRE LIFE…. I almost lost addy, thankfully she is still here and back to 100% (which made my mom so happy. My mom found addy for me). To losing my mom last weekend. And today is Max’s anniversary the day he was put to rest. He was such a good boy, and I KNOW without a doubt in my heart/mind, that he greeted his grandmama and is giving her all the cuddles and happy pug tail wiggles! At least I know that they’ll both be taken care of by each other. Still doesn’t make it hurt any less though.

I lost an amazing woman yesterday. My mom passed away. She was battling cancer, and the cancer won. F**k cancer. I will be taking probably this week off. I will probably not respond back to anyone within this time. I will be spending time with my family, and getting arrangements in order and everything else that comes with losing a loved one. Thank you all for your patience, condolences, and respect during this extremely difficult time.

31/03/2022

Just a heads up for all of my clients: I will be taking a few days off to spend time with Addy. We found out this morning she has an inoperable tumor in her stomach that’s blocking her stomach. She has very very limited time left with us, and I will be taking as much time to spend with her and to love her as much as I possibly can. Thank you for your patience in this difficult time.

to these funny, loving puggies!! Thank you for always loving us unconditionally, always getting excited for everything, and for making us laugh! Give your pups an extra snack, pet, and some extra cuddles and loving today! Happy national dogs day!!! 🐶🐶
