This is a gentle reminder to please remember your appointments 🧡

I have to get childcare to work. That means taking time away from my beautiful babies to do my work. When people forget to show up that’s unnecessary time away from my boys and money lost to pay my bills. I get it, I’ve done it too, but I’ve apologised profusely and demanded I pay the full amount for my missed appointment.

Most people do care and act just how I would but not everyone does. This is just a gentle reminder that I also have a life and I don’t just work for the fun of it. Please be considerate and just set a reminder on your phone or in your diary.

Thanks, Meg x 🩷

Today has been a really horrible day 💔

This handsome little chap is the reason I became a dog groomer. My grans dog, Mylo 🤍

I started off just being a dog walker and my gran suggested one day I become a dog groomer. I hadn’t even really heard of dog groomers and didn’t know anything about them but to avoid my gran having to drive all the way to Fort William every 6 weeks I thought I’d give it a go 😅

She is the most amazing person in the world and paid for my 7 day intensive driving course so I could quickly pass my test, she paid for ALL of my grooming equipment and countless months of rent and electricity when I had my salon in Mallaig. Obviously if it wasn’t for my granny Lala I definitely wouldn’t have become a dog groomer but it also never would have been the case if Mylo hadn’t existed. He’s also the first dog I ever groomed!

Saying goodbye to him today felt like the end of an era and our hearts are completely broken. Squeeze your dogs extra tight tonight and make the most of every single second with them 💔💔💔

Good morning! I’m so sorry I’ve become really terrible at keeping this page up to date! So much so that every single day clients message me with “are you still grooming?”, “are you back grooming?”, “not sure if you’re still grooming but..” I don’t know where people thought I went but I never stopped 😂 I worked until I was 38 weeks pregnant and was back 2 weeks after having the boys both times! Rory’s now 3 and Leon’s 2 in August 😬 can’t believe it! I haven’t gone anywhere and I’m not going anywhere unless we become millionaires overnight 😜 I do have some very exciting news though! I don’t think I posted it on here but we bought a family member’s Croft last summer and we should be moving out there by the end of this summer 🤞🏼it’s right on a private beach and only 5minutes away from here so it’s an amazing place to hang out while waiting for your dogs to be pampered. I will of course be taking my salon out with me 🥰
Here’s a couple of hand strips I did yesterday. Wish I had the camera closer when doing Scapa (the first one) because you can’t see as well.

Every year I get a crazy amount of gifts from you beautiful people and this year I thought maybe if I don’t post pictures of them it won’t make other people feel like they have to get them too. It didn’t work 😂 this is just today’s gifts! Not just stuff for me but gifts and money for my boys too! You guys are so generous, you really really don’t have to 💖

That’s a wrap from me… until Monday 😆 but I’m just working a couple of days then that’s me until the 5th!

Thank you SO much for choosing me to be your dogs groomer. You genuinly have no idea how much it means to me. It means I get to do what I love, I can choose my working hours around my babies, I can put food on the table and my actual job is to pamper dogs all day 😍 it’s the best!!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your families and next year brings lots of happiness 🥰

Loads and loads of love,
Meg ###

I’m sooo annoyed I didn’t think to take a before pic! Double coated dogs are the most satisfying and therapeutic grooms to do 😍 this gorgeous guy was in for his usual wash, blow dry and trim. The second I put the blaster dryer on him after his bath his under coat just appeared like fireworks! The blaster blasts right down to the root making it much easier for that undercoat to loosen and fall out. He’s now half the size and silky smooth 😎
