To my dear grooming customers,
For the past 15 years, you have trusted me with some of the most precious members of your families, and I cannot thank you enough. Getting to know you and love your pets has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
Your animals have always been so much more than appointments on my schedule. I have loved their personalities, their little quirks, their excited greetings, and even the moments when they needed extra patience and reassurance. Watching them grow and caring for them through different stages of their lives has meant so much to me.
With a heavy heart, I have made the difficult decision to retire from grooming due to growing complications with my health. I am facing multiple surgeries with long recovery times, and I need to give myself the time and care necessary to heal. As much as I love this work, stepping away is what is best for me at this time.
I am truly sorry for the inconvenience this brings and for the worry of finding a new groomer you feel comfortable trusting. I know how much that relationship matters, and I do not take lightly the trust you have placed in me.
Please know that this decision comes with so much love for you and your pets. I will miss those familiar faces, wagging tails, and the conversations we have shared over the years.
Thank you for supporting me, for your kindness, and for allowing me to be part of your pets’ lives for the last 15 years. You have given me countless memories that I will always treasure. While my days of grooming are coming to an end, the love I have for your animals will stay with me.
With love and heartfelt gratitude,
Janet
