Hello everyone!!! It's been a hot minute since I have posted. So much has happened.

First, we welcomed our grandson into the world on Nov. 26th. He is amazing and everyone is healthy and happy.

Grooming has been a bit of a mess. Trying to navigate baby sitting and a full time job (when you are the full time babysitter) has been a challenge. We are working out the kinks and finally getting into a routine.
Scheduling, moving forward, will look a little like this: 3 week days available during the day. This includes the first and third Saturday of the month. I will also be offering a few evening appointments to fill in the gaps and try my best to get everyone scheduled. I hope this will help everyone I can, each week.

Thanks for your patience with me as I get things sorted out. Here are some pics of the reason I am doing what I am doing and some of the dogs I have recently done.

Is transformation Tuesday still a thing? If not, we are bringing it back for today🤣 This sweet little girl did great for her first time being groomed. I appreciate the trust to make her look and feel so much better!

Hello everyone! So I am 18 days into my new adventure. I am still working things out but am trucking along. It is especially odd to come home to a semi quiet house(my personal dogs still let me know I've been gone to long for there liking🤣) but I am finding my groove. Here is a few pups that I've groomed in the last few weeks. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sticking with me and giving me support and comfort as I switch gears on so many levels in my life. I am humbled and look forward to going to work every day.

I'm breaking this up into 2 posts because Facebook will only let me do 10 photos at a time❤️❤️❤️

Each week that we are getting closer to the crossover to full grooming, I am excited, sad and humbled. Excited for the new adventure. Sad because of the change. Humbled because my people never cease to amaze me. 💚🐶💚

We are completely booked for pup sitting through the end of the month.

October 1st we will be exclusively grooming.

As promised, I will honor all pup sitting reservations made before the announcement of us closing.
**Please note that if you chose to get a new fur family memeber, that will change the booking g and we will no longer be able to honor the previous booking. This is due to not taking any new pups moving forward.

I will be listing my available hours to groom in the next few weeks. Until then, please reach out if you have any questions.

Here are the amazing pups that I have had the honor of grooming in the last 2 weeks.Thank you to the amazing families that believe in me and this new journey.💚🐶💚

This past week has been a whirlwind❤️ First, we are going to be boy grandparents for those of you following along with everything. 💙💙 We had the gender reveal last weekend. I will post the video so you can see how everyone found out.
Here are the amazing pups I was able to groom this week. Again, I can't say enough about how much it means to me that my families are coming with me and trusting me with their grooms. It fills my heart with joy.

I am taking limited clients right now until I completely transition on October 1st. My goal is to have my calendar set in the next few weeks so I can update everyone with my availability moving forward.

If you are interested in setting an appointment, please reach out through my page or my new grooming number (texting works best) (815)693-1551

So let me start by saying this grooming thing is hard!🤣🤣 Learning a new craft at almost 50 years old is also hard! One of the biggest compliments and something I am truly loving is my pup families sticking with me and supporting my new journey. Today I had the privilege of taking care of these 4 beauties. They were all so good for me.
Thanks to the Egizio family and the other families in my corner that are willing to give me a shot!
I love and appreciate you all💚🐶💚

**ALL BAGS HAVE BEEN CLAIMED!❤️❤️

Every year we try to do our best to give back to the community that has helped us become who we are. This year we have decided to fill 10 backpacks for some families that could use a little help going back to school. If you are local to the Plainfield area and need some help or know someone that needs some help, please have them PM us. 💚🐶💚 Without all of you, there wouldn't be Pooch's Playground! 💚🐶💚

Thank you and Happy School Year!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things are progressing with the changes coming. I am currently taking limited pups for grooming. My days and times are pretty limited because I am still committed to taking care of the pups in my care at home. As far as appointments go, please reach out and I will see what I can work out. Please remember that I am renting space somewhere outside of my home. I am in Joliet, only about 10 minutes away from where I live.
Now, pup sitting information. I am no longer taking bookings. My closing date for sitting is still October 1st and as of right now, I am completely booked until then. It has been a bitter sweet past couple of months getting to spend my last times with many of you and your pups. I'm sure as we get closer to October 1st, it will become increasingly hard. I am happy to say that some of you have reached out about grooming already and I will still get to see my adopted fur kids❤️ This means the world to me. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all.

****Please remember, if you have a scheduled stay with us past October1st, I will be honoring that stay. I would never cancel on any of you.

Here are some pictures of the most recent pups I have had the pleasure of grooming. I am forever grateful that my passion and love for pups will still be a huge part of my life even if it looks a bit different.

❤️❤️Also if you have been following along with our family, you know that I am becoming a grandma and that's why this change is happening. Next weekend is the gender reveal!! I will be posting the video of how we all will find out. Please keep an eye out for that!🩷🩵🩵🩷
