We had a client call yesterday trying to make an appointment... I am booked more then 2 months out. I discover she had not been to me in 2 years..
Since my regular clients ,who stayed with me all these years religiously prebook now.. My spaces are so limited..

This woman has not brough her dog in for 2 years.. she is not even in my new program.. my computer ceased so I could not look up her info on my old program which I finally found later..

In our conversation relizing exactly how far out I was booked.. I decided that I just need to close my client list for as far out as I am booked those spaces are for the dogs coming in now and I decided to help her find another groomer .
one I know would be as gentle to her dog.. She had a freak out and started getting aggressive with me . Started calling me a bad business owner. I said listen I am on reduced work here due to my health. she did not care she went on and on how she was a small business owner too and how horrid I was so I just hung up on her because the conversation was leading no where..

I am sorry I have to take care of my existing clients who have supported me all these years who are the ones who deserve my appointments not someone who goes awol for 2 years and demands I take them back.. the girl did not even want a referral she said she was picky I said. well. who has been grooming your dog the past few years ..Seems she has and her vet.

Then she has her mother call and officially fire us with statements that were not even in the conversation. I suspect strong embellishments.. Were made the woman is taking this far too personally I can not help my health issues I can not help the fact that there are no decent groomers to hire out there. I can not help she decided to leave me for 2 years .. how things come around and go around if she really is a business owner she will experience such difficulties as she ages. And life happens..

Moral to this story. Do not take for granted business who do good work for if you. If do not support them as they deserve ..they just may disappear on you.. This happens all the time and yes business owners can be more difficult clients but if that girl was really a business owner she would have understood.. I simply can not play wonder woman anymore I am on reduced work load and I am sorry I can only care for the clients I have retained..

now my books are closed sorry I can always recommend and my recommendations are for groomers who not only try and learn their skill but also strive to treat the pets better.

Tick season is upon us.. For our safety we require all dogs to be on a working tick and flea prevention .. It takes months to get in do not loose your appointment due to ticks..

Also we are no longer taking on new clients . We are booked pout months in advance and need to keep our books open for our faithful regulars. thank you for consider us .

Good morning all.. I want to first thank our loyal customers who stayed with us during the hard changes here at Ramblin...

Good morning all.. I want to first thank our loyal customers who stayed with us during the hard changes here at Rambling acres.. It was a very hard year for us, loosing all of our employees while I was a week out of Knee replacement surgery and had to start working again by myself while recovering and going to my therapy etc. My knee is good now and we are in full swing..

I am still only grooming the smaller dogs but we still can handle the bigger guys for boarding.. I am very proud of what my husband has done with the boarding department and the detailed care he gives the dogs . Rambling acres may not be employee ridden but it is quiet and happy. Owner run.. Small enough for quality control.

I am still taking on a few more faithful small breed grooming clients. But since our change we lost a lot of boarding clients we wish them well and miss their pets but I want to put out in the area that if you are picky. love your pets.. want to see and inspect where they are staying. Rambling acres is your dream resort for your pet while you are gone.. Even thought Rambling acres has been hit by employee loss and covid issues we still are going strong and still have availabilities for well loved pets.

Attention
Rambling Acres is not closing down..

We are making changes with the Grooming department only. The boarding department is still the same.

Changes are. We no longer groom dogs larger then a Shih Tu , Min Schnauzer and all Terriers wire coated with exception of Airedales . So basically the size limit is around 20 pounds.

Announcement.. When it Rains it Pours. Right now our CenturyLink message service is not working so we can not receive messages and on top of it due to the alert CenturyLink puts on your phone a dial tone to alert messages but this makes it so our credit card machine does not work. So we also at this time can not take on credit cards.

Another serious issue is we no longer have any groomers. After having my knee replaced, while recovery I have no idea what dark shadow went through my business but for one reason or another I am the last groomer standing.

So for this we no longer groom any dogs bigger then a shih tzu. I still have rotor cuff issues and working in pain and further injuring myself is sadly something I can no longer do. So I will only be doing a few very small dogs and or cats a day and all other clients will need to find a new groomer. Dirty dog, bath bows and biscuits are both taking on new clients if anyone knows of a skilled groomer taking on clients with larger to medium size dogs I will gladly add them to the list. It kills me many of my long time clients I have to tell I can no longer groom their dogs.. But we are in different times and finding reliable help is just no longer an easy task.

We are still running our state of the art boarding facility which seems to book up fast so there are no changes for boarding

Announcement to our faithful clients!

We are no longer taking in any new large breeds. We will continue to take in small dogs.
If you have not groomed with us in the last 5 months and have a large breed we will not be taking you in. If your dog gets groomed only in the summer and you have a large breed we will not be taking you in. We will only keep large breed dogs already being groomed by us who have not no called and no showed appoints and who are faithful and come in regular or board with us. Other wise we are sorry we will suggest you to other shops.

We need to do this to be able to provide safe and beautiful work. We will continue taking small dogs until we fill our quota and will remove habitual no call no show clients who shop hop around.

This was you will get the award winning grooming that we are capable of providing.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience.

The only way we will be opening up new clients for large breeds if if we obtain an additional groomer willing to groom big dogs. Otherwise this will be the new rules indefinitely.

Also this is Ginger I am slowly getting back to work after knee replacement surgery.
for all my special small breed dogs who like only my grooming :D I thank you for being patient.
