I can totally relate to Cristinaโ€™s words!
Please remember to cancel your appointment at least 48 hours in advance, so we get a chance to replace your dog by another client.
Thanks to all of you who do respect small businesses as ours. We really appreciate your support! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I believe my extensive use of humor may have given the wrong impression.

๐‘๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Œ๐š๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ƒ๐จ๐  ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐š ๐ก๐จ๐›๐›๐ฒ.

My hobbies? That would be my dogs, my cats, my husband, my family, my sports, my Lego sets, and my books.

Your pets? Theyโ€™re my job.
A job with responsibilities, bills, and very real consequences when things fall through.

In the past 48 hours alone, Iโ€™ve had cancellations that amount to what I would have paid myself in September.
Yes, ๐’‘๐’‚๐’Š๐’… ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’†๐’๐’‡. Independent workers donโ€™t get salaries from someone else, we generate them. After we pay first:

- 25% to CNS
- Accountant
- Insurance
- Utilities
- Business tools and subscriptions
- The landlord
- The bank
- Our old friend: the VAT
- and the Administration des Contribution Directes

All of these still expect their money, whether you cancel on us or not.

Now Iโ€™m left asking:
๐‘ซ๐’ ๐‘ฐ ๐’„๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’†๐’ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’๐’๐’† ๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’Œ ๐’๐’‡๐’‡ ๐’Š๐’ ๐‘บ๐’†๐’‘๐’•๐’†๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“ ๐’‹๐’–๐’”๐’• ๐’•๐’ ๐’„๐’‚๐’•๐’„๐’‰ ๐’–๐’‘?
Because guess what? We donโ€™t get paid holidays, paid sick days, or paid time off. If weโ€™re not working, weโ€™re not earning.

And letโ€™s talk about something else:
This year alone, Iโ€™ve lost count of how many clients Iโ€™ve lost to "friends", cousins, students, neighbors, and casual sitters who work under the table.
I get it, everyoneโ€™s watching their budget.
But please understand: if you cancel on professionals like me too often, one day youโ€™ll call and we simply wonโ€™t be here anymore.

How quickly can it happen?
Just remember how many dog boarding businesses (and big established ones!) closed after two months of lockdown.
Thatโ€™s how close the margins are.

Maison Dog takes a huge amount of time, heart, and sacrifice to run. I havenโ€™t spent Christmas with my family in 9 years.
I havenโ€™t really travelled with my husband in just as long.

So Iโ€™ll say this:
๐ˆ ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ, ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ˆ ๐๐จ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐œ๐ค.
I will shape this business until it will work for me and my family. And if it doesnโ€™t? Iโ€™ve changed careers and paths four times already. Iโ€™m not afraid to do it again. I am kind of reckless.

Believe me, I really hate to be like this. I truly do.
Itโ€™s not personal, itโ€™s professional.

Thank you to those who continue to support my small business (and others) with trust, respect, and reliability. You keep Maison Dog going. โค๏ธ
-----
I wish everyone a lovely summer and relaxing holidays, but please know: fundamental changes are coming.

Maison Dog will carry on, in this shape or another. Stronger or leaner, but never at the expense of my well-being or my family.

Best, Cristina
