UPDATE: 11 weeks after accident...

I have bad news unfortunately.
While I thought I'd be returning to work this week, I've actually been bed ridden for the past week with a bad case of vertigo. I was able to make a physical therapy session today and they are really concerned with my nervous system and how it's responding. Tension or stress of any kind induces heavy vertigo, meaning it's still very unsafe for me to work.
I truly believed I would be back by now, but my brainstem must have had more damage to it than we expected when I was spun at such a high speed.
I'm dizzy even as I'm typing this out.
Still, I apologize profusely from the bottom of my heart for not being ready to care for your fur babies yet. I feel horrible for not being able to start working yet but I need to do right by my body and not make things even worse. I'm still looking at weeks of PT and there's no way of knowing when I'll be okay enough to work safely again.
I wish I had a better answer, but I just don't and I'm devastated. Please do whatever you need to for getting your babies groomed. I'll be fine, I'm just worried about them❤🐶

Update: 7 days after the car accident.

Hello everyone, it looks like I'll be out for a lot longer than I initially thought or wanted.
I'm looking at being off for a full 4 weeks starting from the 8th of April.
And that's IF my injuries have improved enough.

I'm going to do my best in contacting everyone but if you know your appt is coming up before May 5th and your pup is desperate for the appt they had with me already, you may want to look at other salons.

When I do return it will be light duty.
Meaning unless your pup is a super well behaved big dog, I will most likely be unable to groom them for a couple of months.

This has turned into so much more than I had first thought and I am torn up by having to close this long but I really don't have any other choice.

I love you all and hope this is just temporary, cause I already miss your furkids so much!

❤🐶 Thank you for everyone who has been so caring and all the well wishes🐶❤ they mean so much to us!

I'll keep every posted as time goes on and get back to any calls or txt as I can.

***I will NOT have another groomer contact you on my behalf to take over my services. When I recommend someone, it will come from me directly and not them so you know you can trust it. Please do your own research on all groomers you plan to use! Do not trust random messages!***

28 days after the accident:
I wanted to share my progress with you.
The good news is that I'm finally on the mend, and the constant pain is behind me. The not-so-good news is that I'll need another month of slow rehabilitation with physical therapy, but I'm staying positive and focusing on my recovery.
In the meantime, I encourage you to find another amazing groomer to care for your fur babies. I'm so grateful for your patience and understanding.
I love and miss you all, and I'll keep you updated on my journey to full recovery. I'm looking forward to being back to my best self soon! ❤🐶

Update 14 days after:
I'm still in a lot of pain and will be seeing a specialist after having an MRI. So I'll be remaining closed for a couple more weeks if not more.
Please keep in mind that if your pup needs grooming now or even soon I'd highly recommend finding another groomer to help.
I appreciate all of you so much and will do my best to keep you all in the know as to when I'll be back. 🐶❤

A little about our newest member :
After a fulfilling career, Tammie has embarked on a new journey, one that aligns perfectly with her lifelong passion for animals. Tammie brings with her a wealth of experience and affection for all creatures, with a special fondness for dogs.

Meet her beloved companions: Henry, a charming miniature dachshund, and Leo, an energetic miniature poodle, who bring endless joy and laughter to her days. Adding to the furry family are two cats, Patsy and Kitten, each with their own unique personalities that complement the household.

But Tammie's love for animals extends far beyond her immediate pets. With a background in raising a diverse array of animals including cows, horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, and ducks, she brings a deep understanding of animal behavior and care to her new venture.

Beyond her love for animals, Tammie finds solace and joy in spending time outdoors. Whether she's hiking through nature trails or tending to her yard, she cherishes every moment surrounded by the beauty of the natural world.

Now, Tammie is thrilled to join forces with her daughter in a new venture focused on providing top-notch boarding, pet sitting, doggy day-care, walking, and other pet services. With her wealth of experience, genuine love for animals, and dedication to their well-being, Tammie is your trusted partner in ensuring your furry friends receive the love, care, and attention they deserve.
