Hi guys
I need to update everyone, some of you know what’s going on and some do not. I’m sorry to say that I am struggling with everything that’s going at the moment and it has become increasingly obvious to me that I cannot keep working like I am. Many of you will have noticed over the past year that I am struggling to run the business to my usual professional standards. Especially in customer services and in some of my grooms. My body just can’t take this type of physical work anymore and it’s staring to show. Bending over a bath for over 20 years has ruined my back and pelvis and I’m also risking permanent damage to my shoulder I just don’t have the strength I did years ago. The pain is getting unbearable and that’s without the spiralling costs of running the business and some of the personal grief me and my family are going through at the moment. I feel I’m starting to break and I have my 2 baby girls to think of. So with great sadness I need to let you know that I will be retiring soon. I will try and stay open until Christmas and carry out the appointments that are already booked for this year but realistically I’m not sure if I’ll be physically able to. From January I’m going to try and work maybe one day a week with a few toy breeds that do not cause my chronic pain to worsen, give myself time to heal and be a more present and able mum for my girls moving forward.
I will always be here for advice and to help in any way I can that doesn’t send my back into spasm. I can teach you about maintaining and grooming your own dog, health advice, food, diet, nutrition and so on.
I will do my best to help everyone find and transition to a new groomer.
If your dog is 14+ years and I’ve looked after them most of their life I will keep grooming them until they pass.
Speak soon 🐾❤️🐾
