Happy New Year to all! I would really love to see every last dog, but unfortunately I do need to close my books to new clients. The MANY I do have deserve to get my best! After all one gal can only handle so much, even when you love your job! 💓 Starting the year extra grateful!

I am deeply grateful for the kindness and support our family has received during this difficult period. While I am passionate about my job, my family will always come first. Additionally, I would like to recommend a few other local groomers incase you would like to squeeze in before the holidays with a better plan. I hope to be back soon!
