Muddy Paws Ardsley - Exclusive Dog Grooming

Hi everyone. I thought it was about time I let you know what my plans are. I've made the decision to close the business and retire. I've not been able to work for over 12 months now and I am still having issues that will make it hard to start back up.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for your support and custom of the last 11 years. I have made some fabulous lifelong friends along the way, and I will miss my fur babies so much. Love to you all. 💕🐕✂️🥰

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have an amazing time. I'm looking forward to what next year brings.. and I definitely can't wait to leave 2025 behind!!

I'm much improved.. apparently a slipped disc that didn't want to mend itself. I'm still experiencing back pain, but the sciatic pain has pretty much gone.

I'm not sure yet what my plans are for the coming year... I need to know my back can stand up to the job before I make any decisions, but I will let you all know what's happening.

For now, have a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year, and please give those fur babies a hug from aunty Jane 🎄🍾🥂♥️🎁🎉🐕🐕🐕

Morning everyone. Sorry I've not updated you for a while. Unfortunately, there's no good news. I'm still struggling..even with treatment. I'm seeing the GP today .. not sure if there's much she will do other than give me stronger painkillers, but even if that just helps me sleep, that's something! I am so grateful to you all for your kind messages, and I'm so frustrated that I can't get back to work yet. I promise I'm trying everything I can.

Thank you for your patience & support 💗
Jane

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your patience and your lovely messages.
Unfortunately I'm still not able to get back to work. I'm not getting any better and the pain is now constant and severe. I am still seeing a chiropractor to help, but I guess it will have its time with me.
I feel really bad that I'm letting you all down, so please do what you need to do with regards grooming. I wish I had better news, but I will keep you updated. Thank you ###

Just a quick update ... some of you are already aware that I've had to close for the past 2 weeks. I'm struggling with hip, back, and sciatic pain. I had tried to work for a while, but it's just got so much worse. I am now seeing a chiropractor who has said my hip is the core issue, but feels she should be able to help me get back to normal fairly soon. I can't put a timeline on it unfortunately, so I guess I'll just have to take it a day or week at a time and hopefully be back working sooner rather than later.
Please don't worry if you are desperate to get your fur baby groomed and need to book somewhere... I totally understand.
Will update you all with my progress often.

I have sustained a bite to my right thumb .. and I'm not able to use my scissors for now. This means anyone whose pooch requires scissor work, until my thumb heals enough, I can't groom them.
I have tried working today .. but can't groom properly.
I'll message people directly over the coming days. Will cross my remaining fingers & hope this doesn't drag on.

Next problem... I have very little space over the next 2 weeks to rearrange anything before I close for a holiday. After that, I'm fully booked until after Christmas.

Oh the joys 🫣

Hi everyone. Some of you are already aware that my big brother, Jimmy, has recently been diagnosed with MND. This is a cruel and painful disease, with no cure. As you can imagine, we are devastated at this news, but as a family, we are trying to remain positive and make every effort to support Jimmy along this cruel journey.

To help ease the burden, we are trying to raise a little money for him by having a raffle. There has been an enormous outpouring of generosity, and we have a huge list of prizes (see attached).. plus more prizes are being donated

If you are able to support this, you can purchase a raffle ticket for just £1. You can contact me directly for more details.

The draw will take place on Saturday 2nd November, live on Facebook (details to be posted nearer the time).

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
