SCHEDULE WILL BE COMPLETE TOMORROW (SATURDAY SEPT 12)

Watch for a FB message or Text with your appt day and time! Please confirm asap once you have your appointment day/time. Also please note that PICK UP TIMES WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED. I will do my best to stay within the usual times but I have tried to accommodate as many of you as I can which will make my day quite busy. If you have a time you absolutely have to pick up your dog by please let me know asap. Thank you!

** TO CLARIFY: THE SCHEDULE HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ME IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'VE BEEN CUT! I GAVE A "THUMBS UP" TO ALL THE MESSAGES I HAVE READ AND RECEIVED. SCHEDULE WILL BE SENT OUT OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS. ANYONE WHO I HAVE TO CUT FROM THE SCHEDULE WILL ALSO BE NOTIFIED!**

LAST CHANCE FOR SPECIAL REQUESTS!!

I'm finalizing the schedule this week!
Thank you to those who answered with day/time preferences. If you have not yet answered please do so by the end of the day TOMORROW, TUES SEPT 8 and I will do my best to accommodate.
Friday is the most popular day so far so space is extremely limited on Friday.
Once the schedule is made there will be little to no room for changes.
Again, thank you all for your understanding and patience as I navigate this. I'm sure it will get easier for my next trip home once I've sorted through the crazy part! 🤪❤️

KEEPING YOU INFORMED:

As I'm sitting with names and calendars in front of me I'm realizing the game of Jenga I am tasked with and I need your help!

The days I am planning to return are Thursday Oct 22 to Tuesday Oct 27. Unfortunately for my next return this is the earliest I can make it due to other obligations. I understand this is a long wait from now and I understand any of you who want to go elsewhere in the meantime.

HERE IS WHAT I NEED FROM YOU!

**If anyone wants to be taken off the list knowing the wait ahead, let me know asap.

**If anyone CAN'T make it on one of the days I'm back OR if you have a PREFERENCE of days please let me know asap. I will be working every day including Sat and Sun.

**If you have a TIME preference please let me know asap (drop off times will be between 8am and 4pm)

**If you are completely flexible on time and day please let me know asap 🙂 (and also, I love you people! Lol)

I am doing my best to make this work and get as many of you on schedule as I can. If this works it would be my preference to give you the same day and time for the next return which will be in a more reasonable time frame of 6-8 weeks from this return. (I.E. If you have an appointment on Friday at 10am this time your appointment next time will also be on the Friday at 10am) This would save me a lot of time and headache when it comes to the next round of scheduling.

Thank you everyone for your cooperation and patience! I really do appreciate all of you ❤️

PLEASE READ!!

As a follow up to yesterday's announcement:

**Yes, I have seen your messages, yes I have all of you who wish to stay written down on my list 😁 No, I have not answered everyone, but I see you!! ❤️ The amount of support you guys have shown me has been amazing! ❤️

** ALL PRE-BOOKED APPOINTMENTS ARE CANCELLED WHILE I FIGURE OUT MY NEW SCHEDULE**

**I will spend my next few days trying to figure this all out. Unfortunately I will not likely be able to keep everyone who wishes to stay because there are about 70 dogs on that list...this decision will be VERY difficult for me as everyone on that list is amazing. I will have to make my decisions based on a few factors but the main 2 will be who has a flexible schedule to be able to work with my not so flexible schedule and whose dogs I feel would have a harder time transitioning to someone new.

**Furthermore, because of the nature of what I need to do and the fact that I still have bills to pay all grooming prices will be raised by $5 each with the exception of any seniors (humans, not dogs) who I keep on my schedule. I hope everyone finds $5 to be reasonable, I will still remain under the costs of most other groomers. In addition I will be charging 50% of the total grooming cost for any missed appointments. I hope you understand the need for this as well. I will send reminders to all of my appointments the week before so that hopefully I can ensure everyone remembers their appointment days and times ❤️

**Due to the potential of people needing to cancel I will keep a cancellation list of anyone who doesn't make my list and would like to be on it for last minute bookings. I don't expect there to be a lot of cancellations, but they do happen.

**I appreciate your patience ❤️ I appreciate your love❤️ I appreciate your support❤️**

**IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT**
Good morning everyone, I hope you've all had a wonderful and fun summer! My summer has been incredible. So much so that we have had to make some big and difficult decisions. The programming that James has been part of this summer has been more than he's received in his entire life in Ontario. The volume of help he can receive and programs he qualifies for has been mind blowing. Seeing this and experiencing it first hand has forced us to make the hard decision to spend more time in Michigan.
What does this mean for you? Well, unfortunately for most of you this means you will have to find a new groomer 😞 For some of you who are willing and able to work with my schedule I would be happy to keep you on at least for the next year while we figure things out. I will not be selling my house right away as my oldest son is still in college and staying there, so you will see activity at the house. What I plan to do is to come back on a schedule of 6, 7 or 8 weeks (still in the figuring out phase but it will be confirmed very soon!) I will give first choice to my most loyal customers who are on a regular grooming schedule, especially those who already booked me for my summer returns in July and August. If you were one of those people and you would like to continue on please comment below. If you were NOT one of those people but you would like me to consider you for my return please comment below. Once I see how many people are interested I will get scheduling 🙂 I believe I can carry 40-45 dogs on this schedule depending on breed, size and temperament.
On top of this announcement I also must let everyone know that I am unable to return until mid-October for the next round of grooming because we are off to California for a rare-disease conference there in early October (which would have preferably been my next return time)
I know this is a lot.....it's a lot for me too. I fully support and understand everyone's decision. It has been an unbelievable pleasure serving this town and the people and dogs in it. I have made friends and your dogs have become my extended dog family. I love them like my own ❤️ It's not just a job to me and I will miss those of you that I can't keep on terribly. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. I have enjoyed working with each and every one of them ❤️

**Summer Closure** Please Read!
Hello everyone! I'm sorry to announce that I am going to be closing for most of the summer. I have secured a spot for James (my son) in some specialized programming in Michigan. We have struggled to get him the help he needs in Canada. Because his condition is so rare he doesn't qualify for most programs that would benefit him. I have to focus on him this summer , which means I have to close down grooming. I will be back twice throughout the summer to groom as many of my REGULARS as I can squeeze in. Unfortunately I can't fit everyone into those days. I understand this may upset some people, for that I do apologize. At the end of the day we have to put our families first and that is what I need to do right now. At this time I will not be booking future appts (after summer) and I will only be booking some dogs for the times I am back. There are quite a few groomers in the area for anyone in need while I am away. I am here until June 30 and have limited space available before I leave.
