Sooooooooo proud of these 2.
Casey always said for as long as I can remember that she wanted to do a parachute jump for her 18th and that she did and raising money for charity while she did it 🪂

And Darren Eagles, well he had to step up and share this experience with her by default really. It wasn't on his bucket list, but he certainly made one young lady very happy by doing this with her. A shared memory never to be forgotten 🥰

Thankyou so much again to everyone that sponsored both Darren and Casey raising money for a fab island based charity https://www.thewightbrainybunch.org.uk

We will be closed on Wednesday 20th August as it's Skydive time for Casey (my daughter) and Darren (my husband).

Thankyou to everyone that has sponsored them and helping to raise money for The Wight Brainy Bunch 🥰

Of late, we have been having lots of issues with our card machine choosing when it wants to work. This is becoming extremely frustrating, and so, for the time being until the issues can be resolved, payments will need to be either bank transfer of cash.

Apologies for any inconvenience

On the 20th August '25 both my husband and daughter are crazy enough to not only get onto a little plane but to be jumping out of it at 10,000ft 😳

But, this isn't just so they can be nutters, it's to raise money for The Wight Brainy Bunch.

So I am asking for any possible donations you may be able to donate for this amazing charity 🙏

And to make my life easier spreading the word, they have seperate just giving pages 🙄

Any donations are very much appreciated 🥰

BE HEAT SAVVY!

Follow up-to-date info as our approach to heat related illness in dogs has changed…

We DO NOT COVER IN WET TOWELS

We DO USE COLD WATER

We DO USE ICY WATER FOR THE SEVERELY AFFECTED (collapsed, fitting, +/- bloody vomit/diarrhoea)

Cold water for the mild to moderately affected will not send them into shock. And for those severely affected, icy water will not shock them either as heatstroke is heat shock!

The old information is still doing the rounds, I have been updating any of my learning materials to ensure you are kept up dated ❤️

Thankyou to
Animal Love Pet First Aid for your photo showing the different temperatures.

In this beautiful weather we are having, I am always conscious of the temperature in the grooming room. We unfortunately don't have Aircon but we do have doors that we can open safely as well as windows and plenty of fans and cooling units. However, it can still get pretty warm and as much as I know you all want your dogs groomed, primarily, their health comes first. I will make any decisions by assessing each dog individually as each have different needs an capabilities. If I do have to rearrange your appointment, please know the decision wouldn't have been made lightly and we would rather not but as I said before, their health and welfare comes first.

Thankyou for your understanding

Topknot & Tails is now closed until Thursday 26th June.

Got some fun times planned 😁
Off to Festival this weekend 😎
Then next week I am away on a dog scent detection instructors course 🐕
Back for a day, then off to walk the Yorkshire 3 peaks ⛰️😳

Hope you are all ok it the heat (it's like we're pretending we have a summer 🤣) and our dogs are managing to keep cool

See you all soon

Don't forget we also have dehydrated bone broth. All you need to do is add boiling water. My 2 absolutely lap it up
