Good morning, dog families! 🐾

I hope everyone is having an amazing start to summer!

I know I had originally planned on being back to work July 6, and I have slowly started taking on a dog or two here and there. I’m still having some difficult days health wise, but thankfully I’m starting to have some good ones too.

Life has also thrown me a few unexpected challenges over the last little while, including the heartbreaking loss of one of my own dogs. As silly as it might sound, coming back to groom everyone else’s fur babies has been harder emotionally than I ever imagined.

For now, I’ll be keeping my schedule very limited and only booking certain appointments. At this time, I’m only able to take on short shave downs, bath & brushes, and some tidy-ups. Unfortunately, I just don’t have it in me physically to do heavy de-matting or more time consuming grooms right now.

If you’re needing to book, please send me a message! I’ll let you know when I can get your pup in, or if I think they’ll need a groom sooner than I’m able to accommodate, I’ll happily refer you to someone I trust for this visit.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, kindness, and understanding while I work my way back. Thank you for continuing to support my little business it means the world to me, and I can’t wait until I’m back to loving on all of your pups full time again. ❤️🐶

🐾 Well dog friends… I promise I haven’t forgotten about you! 🐾

First off, thank you all for being so patient and understanding while I’ve been taking some time off to get myself feeling better. The good news is I’m slowly starting to come around. ❤️

The bad news? Apparently life didn’t get the memo. 😂 Between wrapping up the kids’ school year, Kloe’s graduation on Friday (seriously… how do I have a kid graduating?!), and Easton heading off to Hockey Alberta tryouts next week, things are still a little wild around here.

I’m going to start opening my July schedule, but due to my health I’ll still be limiting how many dogs I can take and which dogs I can physically do. I hate saying no, but I also don’t want to overdo it and end up back at square one.

If I can’t get your pup in, Nadja from Pawsitive Pet Grooming has offered to help me out. She’s currently booking about 1-2 weeks out herself, but we’ll be chatting over the next week and making a plan to hopefully get her into my shop for a few days to help me get caught up. Many of you know she taught me everything I know, so your pups would be in great hands. 🥰

I also have someone willing to help with bath & brush appointments on the days this body decides it would rather nap than work. 😅 If you’re okay with someone else loving on your pup in my shop, let me know and I can get you booked in with her.

Thank you all for sticking with me through this. Mutts & Manes has the best clients, and I appreciate every single one of you. ❤️

Give me till next week to put out a schedule and to talk to these amazing ladies who have offered to help me out.

Now excuse me while I figure out how I got old enough to have a graduate. 😭🎓🐾

Well friends, unfortunately I have some not-so-fun news.

I regret to inform everyone that I’ll be taking more time off than originally expected, effective immediately. After a hospital visit and under doctor’s orders, I am unable to work right now while we wait for further testing and answers , I might be able to squeeze in a couple certain dogs but I’ll contact you.

To all of my amazing clients, and especially my four legged friends, I am so incredibly sorry. I know some of you were due for a spa day, a tidy-up, or a much needed summer haircut. If your humans are looking at you and wondering if you’re slowly turning into a mop, please know I feel terrible that I can’t be there right now to help.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my job and all of your dogs. Having to step away unexpectedly is not something I take lightly, and I hate letting people down.

At this point, I don’t have a return date or many answers, but I promise I’ll keep everyone updated as I know more.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and kindness during this time. It truly means more than you know.

Love,
Miranda ❤️🐾

🐾 Summer Update from Mutts & Manes 🐾

Just a heads up that I will be taking some time off starting June 22nd and will be back grooming on July 6th.

For the summer, I will be reducing my schedule to 3 grooming days per week and will not be taking on any new clients at this time. I appreciate your understanding as I work on finding a schedule that balances work, family, and all the summer activities that keep us busy.

If you’re one of my regular 6-8 week clients, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I don’t have my July schedule finalized quite yet, but I should have it ready shortly and can start a list of those needing appointments.

While I’m officially “off,” please don’t be afraid to send a message. If I’m sitting on my butt doing absolutely nothing that morning or afternoon, I’d be more than happy to sneak in a small dog groom or a bath & brush and come collect some dog kisses. 🐶❤️

Thank you all for your continued support and for trusting me with your furry family members. I truly appreciate each and every one of you.

Have a fantastic summer!

🐶🕷️ OK dog parents… this is your yearly “GET YOUR DOGS ON TICK MEDS” public service announcement 😩😂

I have already pulled more ticks off dogs this season than I did ALL of last year combined 🤢( half have been dead thanks to mommas for treating their dogs already 🥰)

And respectfully… I would prefer not to have tiny blood-sucking hitchhikers crawling around my grooming shop OR coming home with me after work 😭🙈

MacRae’s currently has K9 Preventa for small and medium dogs in stock 🐾

AND Megan will be in town tomorrow with the chewable prevention!
If you want some, message her ahead of time so she knows what to bring ☺️

Seriously though… the ticks are BAD already this year. Protect your pups, protect your house, and honestly… protect your groomer too 😂🖤

🐾✨ Hey Mutts & Manes crew ✨🐾

Just a little update for everyone ☺️

I’ll be getting back to messages over next week and getting the rest of May bookings organized ✂️🐶

I’ve had to do some rescheduling this week because my grooming order somehow got delivered somewhere else AND signed for 🤦🏼‍♀️🙃 so it’s been a whole adventure trying to get everything resent. On top of that, with Easton recently being drafted 🏒💙 we’ve suddenly had some new commitments added to our schedule too!

Don’t worry though — everyone will be booked in ASAP and I’m hoping to have everybody fit in within the next couple weeks 🤞🐾

Thank you guys so much for always being patient, supportive, and understanding while I juggle kids, dogs, hockey, horses, and the chaos that is life over here at Mutts & Manes 💜✨

🐾📣 HI. IT’S ME. YOUR DOG. 📣🐾

I’ve been trying to tell you…
politely… respectfully…

👉 I AM FLUFFY… BUT NOT IN A CUTE WAY ANYMORE

I am:
❌ shedding everywhere
❌ kinda crusty (sorry not sorry)
❌ one roll in the yard away from smelling

…and yet…
YOU haven’t called my favourite person other than you!

So I took matters into my own paws 🐾

🚨 BOOK ME A GROOMING APPOINTMENT 🚨

so times might move a bit but she’ll tell you… unlike you telling me I’d get brushed “later” 😒

✨ I want to be soft again
✨ I want to smell good again
✨ I want people to say “aww” not “oh…”

📩 MESSAGE HER. BOOK ME. DO BETTER.

Sincerely,
Your dog 🐶💜
