Sorry for the inconvenience.

🎄🐾 Hey guys! Christmas is sneaking up FAST! 🎅✂️

If you haven’t already booked your doggie’s Christmas groom, please make sure you do so when collecting them from their upcoming appointment.

My Christmas bookings are filling up quickly, and I really don’t want any of my special doggies missing out on looking and smelling fabulous for Santa! 🐶🎄❤️

📱 TEXT 0438 522 421 if you need to organise your Christmas appointment.

Warm regards,
Tish ❤️

The last week has reminded me just how lucky I am. ❤️

Since returning, I've been telling everyone that I'm going to be here for at least another 12 months, and the reactions have honestly been priceless. The smiles, the excitement, the hugs, and the "I'm so glad you're staying!" have absolutely melted my heart. You simply can't fake that kind of happiness, and it has made me realise all over again how incredibly fortunate I am to have such wonderful clients.

Thank you. Truly. Your loyalty, support and kindness mean more to me than you'll ever know.

I also have to admit... working by myself again has been really nice! 😆 I'm back to grooming the way I've always loved to work. I can keep my own pace, stay in my rhythm, and get through my day efficiently. It feels good to be back in my happy place.

Going forward, I've also made the decision that I'm not taking on any new clients, and I'll be grooming only small dogs and those beautiful, well behaved bigger dogs that I've built such wonderful relationships with over the years. After 27 years of grooming, it's time for me to truly enjoy every day at work, and I know this is the right decision for me. 😌

Many of you have also been following my judging journey, and this weekend I had my very first two judging appointments. What an unforgettable experience! I loved every minute of it, even more than I imagined I would. It has only made me more excited to keep learning, studying more breeds, and hopefully accepting more judging invitations in the future.

Here are my two overall winners from the weekend. I'm so grateful for every opportunity that has come my way, both in the grooming salon and in the show ring. I really do have the best people cheering me on. ❤️

🧡 Tomorrow is the day... I'm back! 🧡

After two wonderful weeks away, I'm feeling refreshed, grateful, and so excited to get back to doing what I love. I have genuinely missed seeing all of your beautiful faces and, of course, all of your precious Puppies! 🐾

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience while I took a little time to recharge. Being trusted with your dogs is something I never take for granted, and I can't wait to spoil them all again.

A couple of little reminders:
🐶 I'm not taking on any new clients.
📱 If you've sent me a message while I've been away, I'll be working through them as quickly as I can over the next few days.
💬 Please text me on 0438 522 421. I don't monitor or reply to Facebook messages because it simply becomes too much to manage, so texting is always the best way to reach me.

Thank you all for your continued support, kindness, and loyalty. I truly have the most amazing clients, and I can't wait to see you all from tomorrow! 🧡✂️🐾

Love,
Tish

Just a little update from me. ❤️

I will still be here pampering your beautiful dogs for a few months yet, however as I am now working on my own, I've already had to reduce my client list significantly and will need to move some appointments around to make things manageable going forward. Unfortunately, grooming 12 dogs a day on my own simply isn't sustainable.

If you are planning to cancel your future appointments with me due to my upcoming move, could you please let me know as soon as possible? This will allow me to offer those spots to clients who would like to continue with me until I leave.

I truly appreciate every single one of you and your support over the years, and I'd love to spend these final months caring for the clients and dogs who wish to stay with me until the very end. ❤️

All my love
Tish

To all of my amazing clients,

This is a post I never imagined I would have to write, and honestly, it comes with a very full heart.

Over the last six years, you have trusted me with some of the most precious members of your families. I've had the privilege of watching puppies grow up, celebrating new additions to your families, sharing stories, laughter, tears, and life's ups and downs with so many of you. What started as clients quickly became friendships, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Many of you know that I moved away from my hometown years ago. While Gulgong and Mudgee have been incredibly kind to me, my heart has always remained with my family, my lifelong friends, and the village of people who have loved and supported me for over 30 years. After a lot of soul-searching, tears, conversations, and careful planning, I have made the decision that it's time for me to go home.

This decision has not been made lightly. Leaving behind a business that I have poured my heart and soul into is one of the hardest things I have ever done. But for the first time in a long time, I am choosing to do something for myself. I need to be closer to my family, my support network, and the people who make me feel grounded and at peace.

Norman will be finishing up with The Tish Touch at the end of June (June 26th) to begin a new job down home, and while we search for our new home and prepare for our move, I will continue working and pampering your beautiful companions as normal. There is no immediate end date just yet, and I will keep everyone updated as our plans progress.

Thank you for every appointment booked, every recommendation shared, every kind word, every Christmas card, every gift, every coffee, every laugh, and every ounce of support you have given me over the years. You helped turn a dream into a reality, and I will never forget that.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to be part of your dogs' lives and your families' lives. It has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

With love and gratitude,

Tish ❤️

To all of my amazing clients,

First of all, I feel like a royal idiot for posting what I did. I was in complete shock, didn’t know what to do, and honestly just panicked.

The support, kindness, and understanding I’ve received since then has been overwhelming, and I appreciate every single one of you more than you know. I felt so isolated here, like I had no support at all, but clearly I do, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Norman has come home and we are working through things together. He’ll be back on board from next week, so we’ll be back to grooming all breeds, big and small 😊 Pick-ups will also be starting again in a fortnight.

I wish I could take back my post, but what’s done is done. Right now, I’m just incredibly happy that he is home and safe where he belongs.

All my love,
Tish 🐾

No Show Policy Reminder 💛

We kindly ask that if you miss an appointment, you respond to our message within 24 hours to let us know what’s happened. If we don’t hear back, we will need to offer your spot to the next client on our waiting list.

We’ve unfortunately had a number of no-shows in recent weeks, and this has a significant impact on our small business. With bookings full months in advance and many clients waiting for appointments, each missed visit is time we simply can’t refill.

We always do our best to be flexible and accommodating for you, and we truly appreciate the same courtesy in return.

Thank you for your understanding and support—it really does make a difference 🤍
