Polite reminder dog grooming is my job. It’s my only source of income it isn’t a hobby, it pays my bills, feeds my family and keeps a roof over our heads. I understand sometimes things out of our control happen but when I’m cancelled an hour before an appointment that is a big chunk of my wages for the day missing from my own income. With notice I can allow someone else to take that appointment. I have been turning people away thinking I am fully booked. Please remember when your dogs are booked in, I always give times and dates on booking it’s up to clients to make sure they are available. I often don’t have time to send reminders as I’m busy working during the day and then catching up on messages. I work hard enough long days, without making additional work for myself so please keep a record of these times in your own diary or phone.
Unfortunately I’ve had another day today where I have lost income. At least I got to spend the morning grooming my poodle so enjoying having an nicely fresh groomed dog tonight

Hope all our pups are staying well in the
heat it has been so hot. Apologies to people I have rescheduled due to heat last couple of weeks it’s much safer to groom dogs when it isn’t so hot.
Just another couple of months till we start saying hello again to firework season. For dogs you feel maybe be a bit wary of fireworks it may be a good idea to start trying to desensitising them now. There are some good resources online where you can play firework noises start quietly and eventually increase volume between now and bonfire season. Remember to reward your pups 💕

A few weeks ago my dog Norman achieved his intermediate award at Take the Lead - Dog training Sunderland. They train at Houghton miners welfare hall and Steve is a brilliant trainer. Would well recommend if anyone was looking for puppy classes or just some extra training for your dog

🌟 A big well done to Catherine and Norman 🌟 Intermediate Award 🥈

Tiny Norman is a clever boy! Poodles are very intelligent and love to work! They especially enjoy agility and fast pace work 💨

Well done team 🐾👏🏼

Back at work this morning.
Last week was hot hot hot looks like I decided to take the correct week to take annual leave as it was obviously too hot to groom dogs.
Over the summer I do try to adapt grooming to the weather. I may suggest just bathing dogs in cool water and drying using no heat, I may preclip dogs just so they aren’t spending as long in the van however sometimes it is so hot I need to suggest rearranging grooms especially among elderly dogs, large breeds, brachycephalic dogs (dogs with short faces) to a cooler date. If I do decide to rearrange grooms this is always in the safety and interest of your dog I won’t risk the health of a dog by grooming in unsafe conditions but will take one day at a time.
Hope you all managed to keep your pups safe and cool in the heat last week.
I received an unusual high volume of messages and calls last week I will try to get back to people as soon as possible

Hiya, just wanted to update people as I know back in March my little poodle Bella broke her leg and needed surgery requiring me to reschedule a few customers. I know people have been so kind to keep asking about her. It been a long 12 week recovery but she has finally been discharged from Bridge Referrals and is allowed to go about her normal everyday life. She celebrated her vet discharge with a couple of agility jumps 💕
