Hey guys just thought I'd give you all an update on how things are going here.
As most of you know this time of year is calving time and aswell as dog grooming we are also calf rearers. This time of year is extremely busy for us with lots of babies coming in and they are needing multiple feeds every day. We also have our sheep lambing.
On top of that we are super busy with both our girls and their sports. Gymnastics four times a week in Hamilton after school and Saturday hockey also in Hamilton.
Things are really full on at the moment for me trying to Mum and keep up with the house keeping, full time work and late nights in Hamilton. I have great support and help from Wayne who is also working really hard on farm and his second job Fert truck driving off farm.
What I need to do is re shuffle alot off appointments so that I have mostly only one dog a day. I have Fridays that are free and I can also use the school holidays which should get me through this busy time and also after the bulk of the calf feeding I'll start my AB run.
The last 2 weeks have been really crazy and Im feeling really burnt out so I need to make this change so that I can get through the rest of this year without completely giving up on something I've worked so hard on which is The Doggy Salon. I do love the time that I have with all of your pups and dont want to give up on them.
So I guess what I need is a little patience and if you think you're dog won't be needing its next groom can you please give me a heads up early. Its alot easier for me to shuffle dogs around cancelled appointments if I know early.
I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew this year and totally understand if this is too much to deal with and want to try someone new. I know life is busy for everyone but we just have to do what we need to to get through. Don't feel bad if you need to miss a groom it works in my favour this time of year. 😊
