🐾🎄 **Holiday Grooming Season is Here at Lucy Lou’s!** 🎄🐾

First, I just want to say **THANK YOU** from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

So many of you have supported me, encouraged me, and been incredibly patient through my eye issues and through the loss of both of my parents. It has meant more to me than I can put into words.

Now, I’m ready to put my focus back on **Lucy Lou’s Dog Grooming & Spa** and on taking care of all those sweet pups I’ve missed so much! 🐶✂️💕

And that means one thing…

🎅 **IT’S TIME TO BOOK THOSE HOLIDAY APPOINTMENTS!** 🎅

Our Thanksgiving and Christmas spots are already filling up FAST, so if you want your pup looking fresh, fluffy, and photo-ready for the holidays, now is the time to get on the schedule! 📸✨

For the time being, I’m booking **existing Lucy Lou’s clients only** so I can make sure our regular clients have the opportunity to get their holiday appointments secured.

Thank you again for sticking with me through such a difficult season. I’m grateful for every one of you, and I’m excited to get back to doing what I love. ❤️🐾

**Let’s make it a fun, busy, and beautiful holiday season at Lucy Lou’s!** 🎄🐶✂️

Today we said one more goodbye.
Mom and Dad made their final trip to the mountains, a place filled with so much beauty and peace.

I miss them more than words can say, but I’m grateful for every memory, every lesson, and every bit of love they gave me. I’m also thankful for the friends who have become family and helped me through this journey, and most of all, for God carrying me through the hardest season of my life.

Their time here may be over, but their love will always be part of me.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in my heart. ❤️

Over the past year, so many of you—especially my clients at Lucy Lou’s—have shown me an incredible amount of patience, kindness, encouragement, and grace as I’ve shared some of what I’ve been going through after losing both of my parents. I truly want to thank you for that.

This week, I’m in the mountains with friends who have become more like family to me. I’ll be sharing a few pictures from this trip, including some of Mom and Dad’s urns making one final trip to a place that meant so much to us. On Thursday, I’ll spread their ashes and say what feels like one final goodbye.

But this trip isn’t only about grief. We’re laughing, making memories, enjoying the mountains, and celebrating their lives. I know there will be some hard moments, but there will also be a lot to be thankful for.

And more than anything, I’m thankful for God.

As cliché as it may sound, through one of the hardest seasons of my life, I found my way back to Him. I found my way back to church. I found a church family, and little by little, I’m learning again what it means to trust, to love, to let people in, and to believe that God can still bring something beautiful out of a season that has hurt so deeply.

I miss my parents more than I can put into words, and I always will. But I’m beginning to understand that saying goodbye doesn’t mean leaving them behind. I carry them with me—in the memories, the lessons, the laughter, and the love.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me, checked on me, encouraged me, and simply given me room to work through all of this in my own way.

This week is about goodbye, but it’s also about gratitude, healing, friendship, faith, and celebrating two lives that will always be a part of mine. ❤️

A Little Update from Lucy Lou’s 🐾

We wanted to let everyone know that Lucy Lou’s will be closed next Monday through Friday for vacation.

This isn’t just a regular vacation for me. It’s a trip that means more than I can really put into words. As many of you know, I lost both of my parents, and during this trip I’ll be spreading their ashes and saying one more goodbye.

I’ll be making that journey with some very special friends who have become far more like family to me than friends. I’m incredibly thankful that I won’t have to make this part of the journey alone, and I’m hoping this trip brings some peace, healing, and maybe a little closure. ❤️

As for Lucy Lou’s, I also want to say THANK YOU. You all have supported us through an incredibly difficult year, and because of that support, our schedule is currently full enough that we are not able to accept any new clients at this time. We’ll let everyone know when that changes.

🎄 And believe it or not, it’s already time to start thinking about CHRISTMAS appointments! Our holiday schedule fills up very quickly, so if you’re an existing client and want your pup looking their best for Christmas, please start getting those appointments on the books now. Don’t wait until December!

Thank you for your patience while we’re away next week, for supporting Lucy Lou’s, and especially for all the kindness and grace you’ve shown me personally through everything this year.

Sometimes family is the family you’re born into, and sometimes it’s the people who choose to walk beside you when you need them most. ❤️
