🥶❤️PSA: -First and foremost, let me start off by saying I absolutely adore and love every single one of you that have supported me through this journey. And that this story is not to be a defamation of character because deep down, he is a wonderful person, just not for me. *He was ALWAYS safe to be around your pets!!!*
Your support has meant more to me than you will ever know. I'm finally ready to share so many things with you all and I hope you stick around to hear them❤️(I apologize for how long this may be)
I've ran this business for 3yrs now and while ive had some help from all of your support along the way, i did this myself. I built this business out of my own pocket. No loans, no handouts, and doing mostly free or very discounted grooms to make this business a name. This business and most of you, have been bounced from place to place to place. And a lot of you have stuck with me....I now feel it's time I owe you all an explanation.
Most of you knew my fiance and worked alongside him & I both. A lot of you had commentary on his behavior and the way he treated me and this business. What you all didn't see(or maybe you did)..is that mentally & financially, I was being abused in every way. Money was taken and withheld from me, he was very harsh in the way he spoke to and about me & this business. Bills never got paid, etc. While I never got a hand laid on me, EVER, and I will stand by that..he kept me just broken/broke enough that I could barely support my home, let alone my pets or my business. He moved us from home to home with the promise of better each time...and unfortunately, I fell for it. Even at the risk of losing you all, I did. He promised me that if I got my shops, he'd help. Financially and physically, with construction my short self couldn't exactly do without help. I have a heart condition known as POTS that also prevents me from going above and beyond my standard amount of work. If my heart rate increases, it isn't good for me and can have very negative side effects. So unfortunately, I counted on my partner to be of some assistance as he promised. I know i wasnt perfect and can definitely be way heckin hard to handle, in ways i have put into words multiple times, all the way down to admitting i have been what would be considered verbally abusive towards him. It was as unheslthy as it could get on both ends...That all being said. It has resulted in me having to bounce between mobile grooming and home based grooming from different locations at different times. This has effected you all as clients and pet parents, and has also effected my ability as a groomer. This is more than just a job for me, this is a full blown passion. I absolutely adore this business and all of you, so, so, so very much. I could never ever dream of doing anything different. It is genuinely my entire world and anyone that knows me, can repeat that. That being said, his actions had an affect on my ability to still think that. Therefore, I continued to be patient and keep bouncing around and stay complacent with my life.....well, as of today (and several months ago, if you know, you know) that is no more. And never will be again.
Life has taken a very unexpected turn and now, I will no longer have to bounce my business or any of you from place to place. For the very last time. We are getting a custom shop built on a beautiful property just 15 minutes from our last location in the town of Konawa. This means no more canceled appointments to hide the bad days, no more bouncing from shop to shop and having to lose so many of my wonderful fur clients along the way, no more stress and anxiety that I have to shove down deep. We will be completely rebranding in so many ways. I will still remain 1 on 1 and 100% holistic, but our name and what I stand for as a business owner, is changing.
So of you, I ask that you all be as patient with me as possible during this big transition. This very very last time. I will be doing mobile grooms in the meantime to keep income up. Mobile grooms will continue for 1 day a week once the shop is open. We have a 3-5 month goal(hopefully way sooner) to be fully up and operating. We also aim to provide boarding services for the first time shortly thereafter. Our rules and pricing will change. Our name will change. Our entire existence will change. I hope and pray that you all have the opportunity to come and see me once more, and if not, that's okay. I appreciate your patience and gratitude as it stands. Thank you all for the last 2 1/2yrs of sticking with me while I get on my feet. I cannot wait for the new adventures that this transition will bring us and I hope to see you all again very shortly!😩❤️
Thank you for listening and if you made it to the end of this post, let us know of some good business names we could choose from and anything else youd like to see us provide!☺️
