Muddy Creek Dog Grooming

Got a call today from someone asking for pricing.
Just a reminder that I closed up shop and moved almost two years ago, due to domestic abuse and post separation abuse and harassment.

Consider donating.

Aside from not having somewhere to set up my business, having 4 dogs, several goats, two donkeys, one horse, and a flock of fancy chickens, makes it incredibly difficult to escape. Rents for suitable properties would have been several thousand per month and at least $400K to purchase. After inflation, I wasn’t even able to afford to move back to the area where I had been living, let alone afford the property I’d sold to move to Chinquapin.

While my situation was a little extreme (having to live semi-off grid for 2.5 yrs with nowhere to cook or properly bathe), there are still women in the area that need to escape, but don’t have anywhere that they can go, without leaving their dog or cat. And we all know what the abuser will do to the pets that are left behind, if they aren’t doing it already to keep the victim in line. Believe me. I’ve experienced it first hand.

Most of you are well aware that I have been trapped in an untenable situation for the past several years, that has FINALLY come to an end. I have escaped, with only a few loose ends that the lawyers are working hard to wrap up. With that being said, I have come to the conclusion that for me to completely heal from this monster's abuse, I need to ensure that he never, ever has an opportunity to be in my presence or contact me again.
I have made the difficult decision not to reopen Muddy Creek Dog Grooming and to refer all of my amazing and supportive clients to Bark & Bone of Mt Olive (919-299-4058) and The Grooming Room of Deep Run (252-550-0551). I've met Bark & Bone's owners and were quite impressed with them. I'm sure their grooms will be top notch. Carmen, of The Grooming Room, is incredibly talented and an absolute artist. Just explain that your pup will need an "express groom," if you're not wanting to leave them for more than a few hours.
I absolutely cannot thank each and every one of you enough for your support. However, faced with the choice of either disappointing valuable clients or a life of complete freedom from an abusive ex partner, I am sure that most of you would understand and make the same decision.

All, unfortunately, it's going to take longer for me to move and get back up and running than I had anticipated. Feel free to check out Bark and Bone's grooming services during my transition.
