Hi everyone, I'm sorry for being so quiet the last while, life has been a little bit hectic to say the least.

December 30th one month early my little girl baby Halle arrived into the world, weighing a tiny 5lbs 5oz 🥰.

She's doing so well and we're all besotted with her especially her big brother ❤️

I've had a few enquiries as to when I'll be back open and I honestly can't imagine leaving her just yet, she's only small for such a short time and I'm soaking up all the snuggles and love. Not to mention the fact there's very little sleep to be had with little humans 🥴!
I promise to keep everyone updated on my return but for now my main role is mammy ❤️. Sending love to all my four legged friends, see you all soon x

Hi everyone, a very rare post and check in from me ! I'm officially on maternity leave and just wanted to make sure it was up here on the grid incase anyone is looking for me !

I've yet to confirm a reopening date, I can't think that far ahead but I promise to keep everyone informed.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their well wishes over the past few weeks, I really appreciate it. Thank you everyone for your support throughout this past year it means a lot to a small business like me !

I'm really looking forward to Christmas and spending time with my nearest and dearest both 2 and 4 legged (not forgetting Ebony the 3 legged) ! I know I've promised many of you I'll be in touch with recommendations for groomers near you and I'll be in touch before the weekend.
If anyone doesn't hear from me just send me a message to remind me.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year, see you all in 2024 ! 🎄 ☃️

A little bit of cuteness to brighten up your Sunday afternoon, little Lollie visited this week for a wash and dry, she was the bravest little girly ❤️

I'm a groomer on a mission today and I'm putting up this post as a gentle reminder to book ahead !

I hate putting pressure on people because I'm always so appreciative of everyone's business and loyalty but its really really busy at the moment.

I've been grooming 9 years and normally January is quiet but not this year. For this reason I'm appealing to everyone to book your following appointment when you collect your dog going forward. I know its hard to plan 8, 10, 12 weeks ahead so even if it comes to the week of your appointment and something comes up I'll always have someone only delighted to swap with you for the following week. I'm so lucky to have the best customers that understand when I have to cancel or swap and I promise I'll always show the same understanding !

I feel a ridiculous level of guilt when someone texts for an appointment and I can't fit you in for 3-4 weeks.

I'm currently nearly booked up to the end of Feb so if you were hoping to book in just pop me a text and I'll get you booked in.

I think I got back to everyone who asked me to contact them from Christmas, if I missed anyone or you haven't gotten back to me please just pop me a message.

I understand there's a lot of people looking for groomers at the minute as there's other groomers on leave. I've done my absolute best to accommodate as many dogs as I possibly can but I'm really sorry to say I've now reached my full capacity for the number of dogs I can take on. So for now it's existing customers only ❤️

Looking forward to seeing everyone throughout the year 🥰

Happy new year everyone, hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I'm taking an extended break until January 12th.

I have a list of people to get back to and starting tomorrow I will start to reply to get everyone scheduled in.

Please don't think I'm forgetting, just bear with me and I'll be in touch asap.

Thats a wrap for 2022, thank you so much to everyone for your support throughout the year, I'm so lucky to have so many lovely customers.

Thanks also to everyone for your tips and presents over the last month, I really appreciate it.

I'm sorry to anyone I couldn't fit in, I'm a one man band and only so much I can safely do.

I'm back to work January 12th, I'm taking an extended break to catch up with family and friends and of course my own dogs ❤️.

I have a long list of people I promised I will be in touch with to book appointments and I will touch base the first week in January.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year, see you all in 2023. 🎅 🧑‍🎄 🎄

How lovely is my Christmas window by my talented sister 😍

I hope everyone is safe and warm in this weather 💓

Hi all, I just want to clear something up because it keeps coming up and I know people think I've lost the plot.

I wear a face mask while in the cabin, to protect myself and my lungs against all the dust, dander and hair that flies around when I'm grooming and blow drying your dog. I'm so used to wearing it that sometimes I forget to remove it when talking to customers.

It's not that I think I can catch covid from your dog as I'm asked at least twice a day and have had it explained numerous times to me that dogs wont give me covid 🤣 😂
I've had a few people ask does it upset the dogs that they can't see my face. All the dogs know me so well now that a face mask doesn't upset them in the slightest. Give them some credit, they're not stupid, they know it's me.

Hope that clears things up for everyone and you can all rest safe assured I'm as sane as a person who talks to dogs all day can be 😄

Hi all,
Im really sorry to say I'm now fully booked this side of Christmas.

I've done my absolute best to remind anyone that's been in with me in the last 2 months to book in and unfortunately I can't take any more on. Safety and the care of your pet as always comes first.

If you'd like to be put on a cancellation list just pop me a message and I'll make sure to put you down.

Looking forward to seeing everyone over the next few weeks 🎄

Has anyone spotted this girly over the last day or so? She's been missing a few days and last spotted near Lannigans lock. Owner very worried. She's very nervous.
