Mobile Dog Grooming for Curly Coats

01/05/2026

He's here! 🩵🤱

Baby Jacob arrived on Sunday, a neat little 7lb7. He's being a very accommodating fella as we try to catch up on rest. Speaking of which - I think its time for another nap! 😴🐩❤️

We made it! 37 weeks of pregnant grooming done and dusted with no disasters, I am now officially on maternity leave 🥳🤰

Thank you all so much for your patience, good wishes and gifts over these final weeks. I hope you all have a lovely summer and will be model customers for your covering groomers! 😇

The hopeful plan is to be back in October and I'll start making those bookings around August - but we'll see how we get on. I'll let you know when we have CurlyBaby news, see you all soon! 🤱🐩❤️

Well I am in full Power Through Until Mat Leave mode and as a result posting on social media has not quite made it to the top of my to-do list for a while.

So here are some of the caption ideas I had that I never got round to writing, you can choose which one you like the best and imagine an insightful yet entertaining post to accompany these pictures. It's like one of those 'choose your own adventure' books, except when you turn the page it's just blank and you have to make the adventure up for yourself 😅

Now cruising into the old 3rd trimester and (judging by the number of people who have kindly and rightly reminded me that I should take early maternity leave if I need it) I think CurlyBaby is getting fairly obvious 😅 So from here on there are just a couple of tweaks I need to make to the way I work and bits of help I might need. Little bit long and boring, sorry.

I know everyone says pregnant women shouldn't be lifting anything, but actually if I'm standing properly and lifting like they show on the health & safety manuals then I'm fine. The risk comes from walking around carrying things with one arm, when I'm in danger of doing something wonky or tripping over. So the basic rules are

✅️Lifting things under 10kg
✅️Lifting things over 10kg
✅️Carrying things under 10kg
❌️Carrying things over 10kg

So for all you dinky 10kg dogs I can lift on/off the table and in/out the bath, but I'll use a neck strap to walk them around the house rather than carry them.
My table is about 10kg so I can carry that fine and do all setup as normal. My equipment case is much heavier - I can lift it in and out of the car, but if you have tricky driveways / steppy thresholds / houses with lots of gates or steps where I can't wheel the case through and need to lift it, I'd appreciate a hand, or I'll move things in 2 separate trips.

That's it! Thank you all for your offers of help - 5 more working weeks to go (yes I'm excited for the time off 😂)🏋‍♀️ 🐩❤️

Well this week did not really go to plan 😅

Some bonus maternity appointments and a January lurgy all hit at the same time - thank you to everyone who has rescheduled last minute. Hopefully everything will be back to normal next week and I'll catch up with you soon 🤒🐩❤️

24/01/2026

Ooh boy its been a busy couple of weeks 😅

I've fallen way behind on posting pictures, but how lucky am I to work with all these delicious doggos?!

As CurlyBaby starts to make its presence a little more obvious, I'll need to be a bit more careful with lugging my kit about - will share some more details of that soon.

For now, I am perpetually ravenous so please excuse me if I am covered in crumbs and it looks like I've just scoffed my face in the car - i probably have 😂🐩❤️

01/01/2026

It's 2026! Happy new year everyone 🥳

I'm not back grooming again until next week, but I thought I'd gradually try to ease myself back to normality with a bit of admin today 😬

This afternoon I've sent out a list of all the local groomers who have said they are happy to take on a few extra clients while I'm off on maternity leave. If you haven't received the list its probably because we've already spoken about it and I've had the impression you already have cover sorted. If that's not the case and I've just forgotten you and you'd like the list just let me know.

I'll be catching up on a few other messages over the next couple of days too.

Hope you've all had merry and restful holidays 🎆🐩❤️

20/12/2025

And 2025 is a wrap!

Current plans are to feel as festive as possible while simultaneously attempting to fend off the lurgy making its way through the house 😬 It feels a little overwhelming to try and recap a whole year, so I will just say thank you to all humans and doggos for another lovely one. 2026 is going to be a bit different!

Please double check any payments from the last couple of weeks so I can sign out of the old banking app for a while. Have wonderful holidays and I'll see you all in the new year

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🐩❤️

14/12/2025

Only one working week left till the Christmas break 🥳 It's going to be a busy one but I shall be powered by cheese, crackers and mince pies that I've decided to get a headstart on this year, rather than waiting for leftover season.

If I'm not going to see you this week and you still need to make some appointments for the new year, please drop me a message 🎁🐩❤️

🤰 Maternity Plans 🤱

We are officially half way through CurlyBaby's recommended cooking time and everything is progressing normally and healthily 🥳 I've discussed maternity plans with a few of you over recent weeks, but here they are officially.

I'll be starting my maternity leave at the end of March and returning in October

I appreciate it's not great timing for those clients who've only joined CurlyClips in the last year and already have to go on the groomer hunt again 🙈 Unfortunately as a one-woman band, there's not a lot I can do by way of arranging cover; but I have put out the call to local groomers to see who might have some spaces through those dates and will send out that list of recommendations in the new year.
(If any South Wales grooming pals aren't already on the list but might be able to help please send me a message!)

These plans are of course assuming that everything continues to go smoothly and CurlyBaby doesn't throw us any surprises either internally or externally. Appointments in Jan-March may need to move around a little to fit around midwife appointments and I'll be working some different hours to try and keep everyone on schedule.

Any questions just drop me a message! 👶🐩❤️
