Following a Specialist RA review, I’m now on weekly Methotrexate injections.
This has completely knocked me off my feet.
The Salon remains closed.
Thank you 22/5/26 😞

As Dog Groomer’s are popping up all over the place, can I offer one piece of advice when looking for a new/interim Groomer?
It’s a simple ask, one I’ve been recommending for years.

Simply ask “Can I stay while you groom my dog?”

If the answer is “No,” then go elsewhere.
There are many reasons made, for not letting an owner stay.
• Limited space
• You’ll distract the dog
• H&S
• Lack of confidence
• To busy, etc etc etc

All of the above are valid, however, as an unregulated industry, you need to be 💯% sure of your pet/s care.
Transparency is essential for peace of mind 👌🏻🐶🐾

❣️The Grooming Room remains closed❣️

My usual walk with Bella before work 23/3/26 to show the Rheumatology Specialist/Consultant before my appointment tomorrow 25/3/26.

This can’t be normal, I start off willing, by 3mins in I’m breathless, wobbly legs, dizzy and electric shocks in my right hand, Bella keeps to my pace.
By then end, I’m staggering feeling like I’m going to collapse & can’t think straight.
Just thought you’d all like to see what I’m currently dealing with.
Thanks ☺️

Health Update 3/3/26

I feel it hugely important to keep you all informed with any updates, it’s just polite 😷

Currently the Chemo tablets are knocking me off my feet 😰

Walking Bella is a very slow process, with exhaustion, breathlessness, wobbly legs & dizziness 🤪
There’s definite improvements with the strength in my right arm, I can pick the kettle up, squeeze the toothpaste & pull my trousers up 😅
Although cutting tough food still provides a challenge 🫩

My recent blood test has shown a reduction in joint swelling 🩸

My mental health is challenging 🤯 but I’m used to that 🙄

So, all in all, things are on the up, just slower than I ever imagined ⬆️

I have contacted everyone personally, cancelling appointments until after Easter 🐣
You’ve all been so lovely, understanding & kind, I’ve been truly humbled by your responses 💝

I pride myself on not letting anyone down, to my detriment 🫩

I’ll continue to rest up, recuperate and keep you all informed of my progress with a hospital review on the 25th 🏥

Thank you so much, once again, for your understanding.

Health Update 23/2/26

I’ve been diagnosed with the Autoimmune Disease Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I can feel the strong medication is beginning to work, very slowly.
Its purpose is to suppress my immune system which is currently munching its way through the lubrication in my small joints, leaving the red blood cells to do their thing and repair me.
It’s not a fast process, frustratingly.
Taking Bella out is exhausting but a necessity for us both.
I’m currently taking it week by week and will update you accordingly.
Thank you for your patience, support and understanding.
Caroline 🙂

Due to a recent Chronic Illness diagnosis, I’ve made the tough decision to temporarily close The Grooming Room.
