I have been scheduling really lightly for this first few weeks, but I’ve been doing really well so I’m going to add in a few open appointments for afternoons coming up this week and next week. Send me a message if you’re wanting to get scheduled soon. 😊

Luna says good morning. 💕

Here we go!! I’m scheduling clients again, and I’m so excited and grateful to be able to work again! 🥹

A quick few things though before I dive back in…

*I WILL BE UNREACHABLE 8/7 through 8/10 TO SPEND TIME CAMPING WITH MY FAMILY BEFORE I GO BACK TO WORK… any messages will be returned when I get back.

*My phone has been having connection issues when receiving calls sometimes. (Trying to work it out with TMobile but so far nothing has fixed it)..So if I don’t answer, I probably didn’t even get the call and/or voicemail. Please text my number, or send me a message through this page if you don’t get a call back. Or just text anyways if you prefer to schedule your appointment that way.

*I am going to book up pretty quickly, mainly because I’m limiting the amount of dogs I can do in a day at first. I still get tired very easily so I need to build back into working full days. Also, your grooms may take a bit longer than usual at first while I get back into the swing of things.

* When you schedule, please let me know if you’re wanting the soonest available, or if your dog was recently groomed then just let me know that too and how far out you’re wanting to schedule.

*Most of you have gone to other groomers while I have been closed. There are some amazing groomers in this valley, and I know that there are factors that might make them be a better fit for you. And that is okay! I miss all of my clients, but if your new groomer works better for you I completely understand. Do not feel pressured to come back if you’re happy where you are. Just know that I appreciated the time you were here with me, and I want you and your dogs to be happy and comfortable wherever you end up for your grooming needs.

*If any of you have any old bath towels that you’re wanting to get rid of, please bring them in when you come in and I’ll gladly take them off your hands!

And finally….Thank you, to all of you. For being patient. For checking in. For stopping by with get-well gifts. For offering to bring meals, run errands, and help out. For helping with the fundraiser my amazing friends organized. For being there in so many ways for me and my family…. I can never thank you enough, and I’m so excited to see you again. 🥹💕

Hi guys, sorry again for going so long without an update. I’ve just been concentrating on healing, and enjoying family time while I recover. Surgery went well and I can’t even express how relieved I am. I am doing a million times better!!! I will be slowly easing back into work (hopefully mid-August but no promises, I’m so excited to work but I need to not overdo it yet), depending on what my body is ready for. I am not scheduling appointments yet, but I will let you know as soon as I am.

I just wanted all of you to know that we are on the right side of everything, and I will see you all again soon! Thank you for being so patient and kind. I hope you’re all having a great summer. I’ll be in touch soon! 💕🐾

Hey everybody, I’ve just been in the middle of appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor. It’s been a long road but I have surgery scheduled in June that will hopefully be the answer to everything that I have been dealing with. I’m not sure what the recovery time will be, but I hope to be back to work sooner rather than later. Again, I’ll update you when I know for sure.
Sorry for the updates not being very often, I just haven’t been getting answers very quickly. I miss you all, please give your dogs hugs for me. I hope to see you all this summer! 🐾💕

Hey guys. Just checking in, I haven’t forgotten about all of you, and I miss all of my clients so much. I’m still not able to work…and I’m frustrated and so impatient that it is taking so long to get answers. Our medical system is absolutely ridiculous and I am completely exhausted with fighting to get things done. Sorry it has taken me so long to give an update but the truth is that I just don’t really have any answers… just a ridiculous amount of tests, more questions, referrals to new specialists, and waiting and waiting in between. Some days are better than others so I’m grateful for those days! Hoping to figure something out soon and find a way to be able to work again. I appreciate everyone’s patience and well wishes!
Sending love to all of you and your pups. 💕🐾

Hey everybody (sorry for the long post, just trying to communicate with all of my wonderful clients). Most of you know that I’m dealing with some medical stuff and haven’t been able to work for a while. I keep holding onto hope that I will wake up and feel good enough to work, so I’ve been calling to cancel appointments the day of. I know this doesn’t give everyone much notice and I apologize, but I’m hoping for a good enough day to not have to cancel. When I first started to feel unwell it was different every day, but it’s been mostly constant now. I haven’t forgotten about everyone that I need to reschedule, but at this point I still don’t have answers and don’t feel well enough to work. I tried to work one day last week and shouldn’t have 🙁. I am so thankful for the well wishes and understanding from all of you. When I have answers, you will too. You’re all such an important part of my life and I miss you and all of your pups. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and hope to be back at work soon! ❤️🐾

Hey everybody, I’m back to work today and doing my best to get through the list of everyone that I need to reschedule from being out for a while and not feeling well. I’m doing my absolute best, it’s hit or miss on wether I am able to work day by day 😩. I’m working with my doctors to get some answers and hope this doesn’t keep happening. 🤞🏼
I know I sound like a broken record, but I really do appreciate all of you being patient with me!

To my amazing (and very understanding) clients..

It’s been a rough year, and I know that it has affected my business more than I would like. I try my best to keep my personal and business life separate, but with everything going on lately it has spilled over and is causing me to have to reschedule clients. I absolutely hate doing that! I’m currently dealing with some medical issues too and just taking it day by day. 😓
I try my best to avoid inconveniencing any of you, and I appreciate your patience while my family and I are dealing with a lot lately. I hope that things will settle down soon and we can get back to normal, but in the meantime I just wanted to thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness. 💕🐾

Hey everybody. Those of you that know me personally may already know that my Dad unexpectedly passed last week. I appreciate everyone’s kindness and understanding, I have had to reschedule some people, I’m taking it day by day and I’m trying to work but I’m also struggling. I just want to let you all know that I’m not my usual self, and please don’t take it personally if I’m not as friendly and talkative as usual. I appreciate every single one of you, and your patience, as my family and I navigate through this heartbreak. 💕

Today is my first day back to work 😬. I will be reaching out this week to everyone that I had to cancel while I was off work, please be patient with me, I have quite a few dogs to schedule. 😅

This has been so difficult to manage, I am so appreciative of everyone that has been understanding throughout everything. I have some of the best clients and friends. 🐾❤️
