Eggs for sale! 🥚🤩

Outside of dog grooming, I really enjoy chicken keeping. With that being said I have more eggs than I know what to do with (and I eat a lot of eggs). I will have some eggs at the shop going forward $4/dozen, or $6/18 count.
Feel free to reach out to me before your appointment and I can save some for you as well!
They are free range, and very happy hens 🐓

Just a note, because I truly do care about the well-being of your dogs. This is not aimed at anyone in particular, I have had quite a few instances recently that have made me want to say something.
As a groomer, I understand how important grooming and staying on a schedule is for your pet, however, there are some things that are more important to consider.
If your dog is not feeling well; nausea, diarrhea, lethargy, limping, soreness, open wounds, hot spots, etc. I’d rather reschedule the appointment than groom your dog while they are uncomfortable.
Grooming isn’t just a bath and a haircut. It requires extreme patience from the dogs and is also very physical for them too. Think of it as standing on your feet for an hour while your foot hurts, or perhaps you have an upset stomach while somebody is constantly picking at you. Most dogs don’t like grooming as it is, and then forcing them to do something while they don’t feel good doesn’t help the experience.
I am in the business of grooming dogs because I care about the dogs, and I enjoy helping them feel their best. I truly do try my best to accommodate certain ailments/concerns whenever I can, however, if a dog is feeling uncharacteristically uncomfortable, I prefer they not get a haircut that day .
When I ask you at drop off if anything is new, I truly am looking for anything that may affect the way our appointment goes. Any recent dental procedures that might cause them to have a sore mouth, limping after playing ball last week, licking of feet, pop-up seizures, etc. Any little thing can help me be able to make good decisions on how to handle your animal while they are in my care.
I understand that my schedule is very full, but if you cancel an appointment because your dog is not feeling well, I will always try my best to get you rescheduled ASAP. Your dogs well-being is my main priority.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions just reach out to me

Thanks,
Abby 💜

This 👏🏻 🫶🏻🫶🏻

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. ❤️🐾

Planning Ahead!

I will be out of the shop November 25th-30th as well as December 24th-January 5th.

If you want your pup fresh for the holidays, I highly recommend reaching out soon as appointments are filling quickly.

Thanks,
Abby

A note from the receptionist (me) 😅

This past week I tweaked something in my back and I’ve been out of the shop for a few days now. My plan is to return to work tomorrow..
If you were somebody that I had to reschedule, I will be getting back to you within the next 24 to 48 hours to get you back on the schedule. If you’re somebody that is reaching out to make a  new appointment, I will get back to you as soon as I get my reschedules squared away.
All of you have been wonderful, and I really have appreciated the kind, healing words. I’m definitely not 100%, and appointments might be a little slower in the next week or so but hopefully I’m on the upswing!

Thank you! ❤️❤️
