It’s always good to hit the ground running in the New Year. I’m already looking forward adding this course to the one I’m already studying.

Happy New Year everyone 🍾 🥂 🐾

… and before I go, I just wanted to acknowledge two amazing dogs lost this year. Both losses have absolutely broken my heart and I write this with tears in my eyes. Neither will ever be forgotten 🕯️🕯️

Bailey had the biggest heart and the calmness of a saint, our relaxed grooms were filled with cuddles and love, I will always miss his visits ❤️.

Molly has been a huge part of my life, in fact my families lives too. We’ve been the best of buddies on our walks together, the closest of friends during her stays in our home and the most trusting of partners through our grooms.

She kept me sane through the most difficult times in my life and for that I will forever be grateful to her ❤️.

Someone recently asked me what I did for a living. I told them I was a self-employed dog groomer. They asked me if my business was successful, and I answered ‘yes’. I walked home thinking about that question because there are so many ways to quantify whether your business is a success or not, perhaps whether you make lots of money, the number of clients you have, awards you may have won, or simply how many times your phone rings in a day.

I wondered why I had so quickly answered ‘yes’ to that question, and I realised that it was because every single dog who walks through my salon door brings me complete peace and utter joy, and in return, every dog who leaves my salon leaves feeling the same way. That, for me, is how I quantify success.

Thank you to all my customers for trusting me to take care of your dogs. I love each and every one of them.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Here’s a round up of my final grooms for this year (minus Snowy who I didn’t manage to get a photo of before she left) 🐾 ❤️ 🐾

Ruby joined us in the salon today. As you can see from her body language in the second photo, she does come into the salon a little nervous, but, having worked with her on a one-to-one basis for a while now, we’ve reached mutual trust and understanding, even if she’s not always completely relaxed.

The lovely thing about working with nervous dogs is watching them go from scared and stressed to calm and trusting just by taking the time to understand their fears and then combating them by showing understanding, patience, and love. ❤️

Five weeks ago, Beans came to us in a bit of a sorry state; her coat had become badly matted, and chunks of her coat had been removed earlier in the week by a previous groomer. Beans was patient while we washed and dried her and then removed the matting while leaving as much coat as possible.

Fast forward five weeks, and here she is looking absolutely beautiful. Her mum tells us that she’s been so much happier, gained weight, and started to eat well since her last groom, proof that grooming is about more than just the haircut.

Well done Beans 🌟 🌟 🌟

A lovely morning spent with the cheeky duo Willow (left) and Boots (right).

Boots successfully completed his puppy grooming course with us six weeks ago; this was his first big boy groom, and he was a star!

Today, Boots brought with him his (big) little sister, ‘Willow,’ who began her course with us today. Willow may look big, but she's still only 12 months old and inexperienced; taking her through our course despite her age will ensure she enters the world of grooming with positivity and patience. Oh, and she was an absolute star too!

💫 💫

P.s I totally forgot to take photos of Poppy and Willow (different Willow) yesterday, but well done to them too. 🐾 🐾

Dolly and Milo complete my working week… phew! A bit dramatic when my clipper battery caught fire and set light to clipped hair on the table but life is all about new experiences 🤷‍♀️.

No dogs were hurt in the making of this post.

Who doesn't love a makeover Monday?

Cheeky Charlie has been with us for 7 years now, he and his brother Oscar were part of our original walking group and we’ve been on many adventures together. This morning it has been lovely to reunite him with Flin and Jasmine, just a couple of his old walking friends.
