We have CoDA 2027 calendars ready.
But now we cannot sell them.
To make back the money that was spent printing them, each calendar costing is 300tl.
We are asking for donations to cover the costs.

Didim Sokak Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneǧi (CoDA) is awaiting your donations.

Thankyou.

If any of my customers would like to purchase one of these calendars they are available in dogs or cats at £5 each and you can pay me and I will make sure these people that need this money will get it as the government in Turkey are no longer allowing them to raise money for the Rescues

I’m not the groomer who can always fit you in “today or tomorrow”… and honestly, I’m proud of that. ❤️🐾

For years, I overbooked myself. I said yes to everyone who needed me because I genuinely wanted to help. But eventually, I realized that constantly trying to squeeze in “just one more dog” was taking pieces of me that I couldn’t keep giving away.

The dogs were rushed.
My mind was exhausted.
My body was tired.
My personal life was pushed aside.
And my health suffered.

Grooming is a physically and emotionally demanding career, and burnout is incredibly real. Sometimes we convince ourselves that working more means we’re a better groomer or that saying “no” means we aren’t doing enough.

It doesn’t.

I’ve had to learn that 7–8 hours of intentional, focused work is enough. I don’t have to work myself into the ground to be a good groomer. I don’t have to sacrifice my family, my own appointments, my health, or my sanity to prove how much I care.

And you know what happened when I started setting those boundaries?

My clients stayed. ❤️

They rebook. They book ahead. They understand that my schedule fills because I have wonderful clients who value what I do and because I intentionally schedule my business around my life instead of trying to make my entire life revolve around my business.

That balance is important.

Because when a groomer takes care of themselves, they can take better care of your dog.

Your dog deserves a groomer who isn’t exhausted, overwhelmed, rushing through appointments, or running on empty. They deserve someone who has the time, patience, focus, and energy to give them the care they need.

So please understand that when I can’t fit your dog in today or tomorrow, it isn’t because I don’t care.

It’s because I’m protecting the quality of care I provide.

I may not always be the fastest appointment to get, but I promise you I’m worth the wait. 🐶❤️

And when I can fit you in, I absolutely will.

To my fellow groomers: setting boundaries isn’t selfish. It’s how we build careers we can actually sustain.

And to my clients: thank you for understanding, respecting my schedule, and trusting me with your dogs. You are the reason I’m able to do what I love while still taking care of the person behind the grooming table. ❤️🐾

Some groom for the money.
Others groom from the heart,
and the money follows the passion.

After years of grooming I’ve learned that the hardest part of this profession isn’t the grooming.
It’s the last appointment.

When a client says, “This will probably be his last groom,” everything changes.

You realize that for years you weren’t just grooming a dog. You were part of that dog’s life. You watched them grow old, earned their trust, and shared their journey with their family.

That’s why I believe every dog we groom becomes a little bit ours too.

Not because we own them, but because we made a promise to help give them the best life possible.

And saying goodbye never gets easier💔🐾🌈.

Please can I ask you all to double check your appointments with me if you have mislaid it, or can’t remember it.
I have flown back off my holiday for eight days to Dog Groom for you because I am dedicated to you and your pets and I really appreciate your custom.
I have actually left my own pets behind in Turkey with a pet sitter while I am here working so I really would appreciate you attending your appointments or giving me prior notice if you can’t because there are people waiting for these appointments as I am extremely busy.
This is very unfair if you do not turn up to your appointment and in my terms and conditions as posted on my page I will require the payment for the Missed appointment before I will book you back in.
I am really sorry if this seems harsh, but I have like I’ve said left my own pets in Turkey, paid for 2 flights and I am paying a pet sitter to look after my animals while I come home to work.

Thank you all for your custom. I really appreciate you and I hope that you can understand where I am coming from. 🥵🐾🐾 🐕 🙋🏻‍♀️🙏
