🐾🐶❤️ 📢 As we get closer to July 1st, I’ve been doing a lot of looking back. It is hard to believe, but this upcoming anniversary marks exactly four years since I opened the doors to Bandits Doggie spa. Standing here today, my heart is just incredibly full.When I first started this shop, it was a dream mixed with a lot of nerves. But the moment you all started walking through that door, you turned my dream into a community. I wanted to take a moment today to speak directly from my heart and tell you what you mean to me.To my clients: you aren't just customers to me. You are family. And your pets are the absolute light of my life. I know that your dogs are your babies, your companions, and your family members. Every single time you hand me that leash, you are trusting me with a huge piece of your heart. I never take that for granted.Over these past four years, we’ve shared so much. I’ve watched your clumsy puppies grow into beautiful adults. I’ve held your sweet seniors a little closer and moved a little slower to keep them comfortable. I’ve celebrated the happy moments with you, and my heart has ached with you during the hard ones.You have stuck by me through the busy seasons, the growing pains, and the chaotic days. You’ve brought me coffee, sent sweet messages, and given me the ultimate gift of your loyalty. Because of you, I get to wake up every day and do what I love most.Thank you for these four beautiful years. Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and loving this shop as much as I do. I am so honored to be your groomer, and I can't wait for many more years of wagging tails and clean coats.Thank you all so much." Keep me going as this year is a hard one 🥲 as I have not made things public but am getting attacked in all angles... one day I have to tell you how mentally it almost destroyed me… as I was sitting on my grooming table were I’ve groom thousands of pups… that it would be so much easier to just go… 😞 thank you for loving me as much as I love u all ..
