Riesen had a nice introduction to Hoopers today, it's fairly local at Saughall in Chester...she had so much fun! She really enjoys working things out, can see the little cogs turning in her brain as she thinks about what she's doing...fabulous little dog :)

Poor little dog 😭 This is the rescue my amazing little Riesen came from back in January...when dogs come in with a lot of health issues, the vet bills rack up so quickly :(

Sadly the happy news doesn't last long in rescue, even though its what keeps us all going.
We are still short £2528.52 from the bills we posted last week. Then new bills have started to arrive already along with precious little Jenny.
Jenny has a long road ahead bless her. After bathing alot more fur has come away. She arrived Saturday and as of now is the sweetest most gentle but shut down little girl.
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated or supports on a regular basis. Its little souls like this you're helping. Please share and support in any way you can so we can clear the bills up to now ♥️❤️💝

A plea to all new/interested customers! Parking.

Please fully read the Messenger autoreply. Most do thankfully, and it gives you the info necessary to ensure your appointment can be carried out. Unfortunately over time I've had multiple people seem to not have read it, especially the bit mentioning needing guaranteed parking directly outside the house that's accessible to a large van and allows me to plug in a power cable.

When I get to these places and can't park to groom the dog, it's not only costing me time and fuel, it's also cost me the much-needed income from that appointment slot.

Just wanted to post to clarify that yes, it is essential to read all the autoreply and make sure all good. I have had a fair few people do so, realise that their property is impractical for the mobile service, and either find other options (which is great), or realise another type of service is more suitable. Thank you to all for checking on these matters, and if in any doubt, please feel free to ask.

Away!
Please note: I will be away from 26th Feb to 11th March, so if wanting your dogs groomed before then please book ASAP. The mutts and I will be busy getting rained/snowed on in Scotland, instead of rained/snowed on here!!

Bit of news for those of you who know my dogs!

I sadly lost my two oldies within weeks of each other :'( around Easter last year...well I've been missing having a teeny especially, and I ended up looking at the website of the rescue my Sienna came from, only to see this gorgeous girl on there. Long story short, I couldn't resist, got chatting to the rescue...went through their process, and here she is. Riesen, named after one of my absolute favourite sweets 😁 Shy, but settling in nicely, and has the most gorgeous nature.

Comment from a family member made me smile, "You don't look right without a Cavalier" 🤣 guess it wasn't just me who thought it was time for another :)

Do you know anyone who can only reach me by phone?

Please share my new number with them, 07467027363, as my work phone went missing (locked luckily) and the company I was with have refused to send me a new SIM or issue a PAC 😫 Unfortunately I know some of my lovely clients can only reach me by phone, so am concerned about them being unable to reach me.

This should have been simple to resolve...don't worry, the new number is on a different network!!

I'd just like to apologise to anyone affected by recent events...as some of you know, my car was destroyed early last week by a speeding driver, which has led to chaos sorting everything personal out and reshuffling people for later in the week. If I have missed a message from you, or we've rescheduled and you need to change anything, please give me a shout and I can get something sorted for you. And thank you to those who've been understanding and flexible with being moved. Fortunately the dogs were OK and we escaped with aches and bruises, the car protected us well, but it's a total write-off and of course dealing with the aftermath takes up SO much time 😫

I am taking bookings for this week so please drop me a message if in need, onwards we go, dogs to groom and bills to pay!!

Bit of an introduction for those of you who don't know me! Hi I'm Laura, and I've been grooming dogs for around 10 years, nowadays mainly around Holywell, Flint, Deeside, Mold, Kinnerton and surrounding areas. I've been self employed for a few years, but circumstances led me to go mobile in a van earlier in the year. It's been great to travel around and see clients and their dogs at home.

Restraints don't tend to be used in the van as layout renders them largely unnecessary, the only exception being a lead if dog is particularly lively. I often find that less can be more, and nervous dogs may be more inclined to panic when they're restricted too much, so I find out what works for the individual dog. My van setup only really allows for dogs up to collie size, due to space, however is kitted out with all the equipment I need to carry out full grooms...I'm not lacking anything from my salon days :) Grooms include a full bath and dry, style to your requirements as close as possible, nail clip, and ear pluck where required.

I have significant experience of grooming more challenging dogs, including some free grooms donated to rescue dogs in foster, as this is a cause close to my heart (all mine have been rescues). It's amazing the tricks picked up after years of this!

I knew from childhood that I wanted to work with dogs, and with that in mind I studied Animal Behaviour at university. Job roles over the years have included dog trainer, boarding kennel staff, and of course grooming, which I actually fell into by accident with my first dog training role but developed an interest for and was trained up in.

I've had all sorts of dogs over the years, large and small, Cavaliers and Springers being very close to my heart as I grew up with several. I've also had a couple of rescue mixed breeds from Romania who truly stole my heart. Sadly after the loss of my 2 eldest earlier in the year, I am now down to 2, both acquired by accident from difficult situations. My Border Collie, Kipper, and Jessica the Staffie x Shar Pei...both dogs enjoy various dog sports and long walks. Jess competes in agility, and has even been in a BBC TV series we spent a few months filming for a few years back. Agility shows are often why we tend to be out of action at weekends!

I look forward to meeting you and your dogs, and getting them clean and tidy for you...even if they choose not to stay that way!!

Had a poodle to groom earlier in the week, and what a little poser he was! 🤣 Very sweet little lad.
