End of an era!!
On Friday 16th October, after 14 successful, enjoyable years, Paws For Applause will close π₯Ί.
This decision has been emotional, I don't feel like I was just your dog groomer, I congratulated you when each of your children were born and watched with interest as they grew into awesome adults. I watched as some clients became older and needed a little extra help - I was honoured to be trusted to help. In return, you supported James and I when my mum died, when my dad experienced the horrid effects of being a Fragile X Carrier and eventually his demise to Covid. I am also a Fragile X Carrier with hEDS and it is because of this I have had to make positive decisions to change my lifestyle. Thank you all for indulging my fanatical love of dogs and I hope you will support Jon of 'Sud's Law', who will be seamlesslyπ€taking over at the shop on Derby Road and honour all appointments already in the diary.
