Hey everyone!

Just a quick update. My little girl is 5.5 weeks old now, and over 8 pounds already! She is doing great, and such a cutie!

Last week I attempted to groom a couple dogs each day to kind of see where I’m at physically with the recovery, and how it’ll be to manage work with the baby. While the physical aspect of it went really well, the baby managing is definitely going to be the hard part for awhile until she’s a little more independent. 😅

My mom is helping me watch the baby while I work. And right now I still want to stick to just a couple small easy dogs a day. Not sure when I’ll be able to physically manage the bigger, coated dogs. The bigger shorthair bath dogs should be ok. Definitely going to play it day by day.

Unsure of what days I’ll be working and which are off as Debby and I still have lots of Doctor appointments to go to. And times of the day may vary as well to work around those appointments.

But, making a come back slowly but surely!
If you have a small dog that needs grooming please shoot me a text! Notifying everyone personally of the current situation is going to take forever, I’m trying… but please do tell anyone you know who are clients of mine so word can get out that I’m somewhat resuming 😅

Thanks everyone for all the love, support, and grace you have shown me through this huge life change! You all mean the world to me!❤️❤️

Sorry it’s taken so long to update everyone on what has happened over here! Trying to adjust to the new life while healing, does not allow for a clear mind lol!

I went in June 29 to be induced, and July 1st the baby came via emergency c section. We finally got to leave the hospital July 4th late in the day.

My sweet baby girl is named Debby Rose. She was 5 pounds 7 oz, and got down to 5 pounds 3 oz shortly after. As of today, she’s up to 6 pounds 6oz, growing like a w**d!

She’s happy, healthy, and has the literal best hair ever!

Me on the other hand… I’m still recovering, still adjusting, still having a hard time with many things…

It looks like I’ll be taking a bit more time than I originally hoped for, being a c section… I don’t want to risk doing damage to the incision. I still plan on getting back to grooming as soon as humanly possible, small dogs first… and maybe just a couple a day for awhile, until I can get a new routine figured out with little Debby. But I’m probably looking at another 3-4 weeks I’m thinking, before I’ll be ok enough to start taking select dogs back in.

I hope everyone is doing well, and please please do have your pups groomed elsewhere if needed! I know many of you don’t want to, but hopefully it’s just one time and I’ll be able to catch up, just don’t hesitate to have them done please! If you need a referral please text me I’ll send you information to a fabulous local groomer friend of mine who’s helping me through this!!

Feel free to text to check in too, I’m doing my best but I know I’m not able to check in with everyone all that well. Just so much going on!

Welcome to this sweet girl, Debby Rose! The newest little love of my life🩷🩷

Hi everyone!

I have been officially on maternity leave as of earlier this week. A bit sooner than I anticipated, but some medical issues got me a 3 day hospital stay, and extremely close monitoring… I tried to groom Friday as normal but realized there was just no way I could at this point, and had to call it quits until I’m recovered and back to normal!

If all goes well, Monday I’ll start the induction process, and hopefully things go quickly and smoothly… 😅

I’ll try my best to keep everyone posted! Soon this little miracle will be here and we can finally know if it’s a girl or a boy! Anyone want to put in your final guesses for gender and weight?!
As of last Monday’s ultrasound, the estimated weight was 5 pounds 10oz.

Thank you everyone for being so understanding and supportive, this has been very difficult to me to stop working for a bit… haven’t done it in all my life so it’s very stressful!!! lol!

Can’t wait to introduce you all to the newest family member! ❤️

Hi everyone!!!
Spring is here! With that means everyone wants to get in ASAP for their dog’s spring cuts as mud seems to be just a little easier to manage with shorter coats lol!
All my snow bird clients are coming back for summer too, so right now I’m looking at the first week in May as my soonest openings. Please call me ASAP to get in if you are thinking you’ll need a cut anytime in the next few weeks. 😊

I’m also highly recommending booking your next appointment as well as I’m going to be having my baby probably the first week in July. I’m not sure how close to that date I’ll be able to continue grooming, but the mid June appointments are going fast so please let me know if you want to get on the books, everything will be played by ear at that point but I’ll keep everyone in the loop as long as you have appointments coming up! 😊

I’m also no longer taking new clients for the time being. Want to put my regulars first!!!

As always I thank you all for the support and forgiveness you have shown me these last few months as I navigate a world that’s soooo new to me! You guys are the literal best!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ll try and keep everyone as up to date as possible on what’s going on over the next 12 weeks till this little baby comes! Can’t believe we are getting so close!!!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been very quiet on social media here lately, so much has been going on I can’t quite keep up! Holidays are always crazy, but this year has definitely proved to be harder than most!

For those of you (most of you) that do not know, I am pregnant with my first child! I know, hard to believe!!! It’s true though lol! And not only have I been trying to keep up with the doctor appointments for that, but I’ve been battling what we believe, but cannot prove, is a kidney stone. Due to the pregnancy I cannot have a CT scan, and the ultrasound shows some kind of fluid blockage in the kidney that has not changed in over a month. I’ve now had 4 ‘attacks’ where the stone hurts so bad, two landed me in the ER, the other two I’ve gotten through on my own.

Whatever it is, is not gone, and there isn’t much we can do about it. I apologize to everyone in advance, as I may have to cancel appointments last minute if the stone acts up, or they need me to come in for an appointment related to the pregnancy. Everything seems to be very last minute and NOT when I’m off and available of course!!!

Please also be patient with me with returning calls and texts, some days I’m struggling more than others, some days I’m down and out with the stone… and standing all day especially these long rough days during the Christmas rush, is proving very difficult. I will return all texts as soon as humanly possible I promise!! I’m doing my very best, but this is all absolutely nothing I’m familiar with, and trying to navigate it all is proving more than I can take somedays😅😅😅😅.

But, I appreciate each and every one of you all, and thank you so much for always being the best clients on earth! I’m so lucky to have you all and I hope you all have the best holidays ever!!!

Here is a little glimpse of my sweet baby, taken today… 9 weeks old. Due July 19th. I will not be finding out the gender, it’ll be a big surprise! 🥰

Happy holidays everyone!

Hi everyone. I know I’ve got a lot of messages to return from the last couple days. I need everyone to be patient with me, as my sweet dog Rain has been at Cornell since yesterday and MIGHT get to come home tomorrow. We are not sure of anything yet. I’ve had to cancel lots of dogs for this weekend and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to resume grooming in order to get those clients back in first, then I’ll be able to get to booking everyone else. I’m so sorry for the holdup, trust me I’d much rather be making money than spending it like I have it! 😅

I promise I’ll be in touch with everyone as soon as humanly possible!

Any prayers or good vibes anyone wants to send Rain’s way would be highly appreciated. I’m an absolute mess and I can’t think straight at this point! My dogs are my life as most of you guys know!! 😣😣😣

Welcome Delilah! I groom her ‘brother from another mother’ lol, but this was her first grooming ever. She was very scared but felt like a million bucks when she was done! Love how all her colors came out! She’s so cute.

Welcome Forrest 2.0!
This pup belongs to my official, longest client ever! This is the third golden I’ve gotten the joy of grooming for her.
20 years ago, when I was JUST starting out as a bather, and didn’t even know how to do golden foot trims, the first Forrest came in as a little puppy and I washed, dried, and brushed him out… someone else did the grooming for me. Every 6 weeks after that I groomed him fully, for the rest of his life. There was a little beak aster he passed, till they got Brook. Again, started him as a puppy and every 6 weeks the rest of his life. At his last grooming I found two large lumps, that turned out to be lymphoma. It was a sad day for sure, as he seemed perfectly normal, but the diagnosis and downfall was so quick. It’s been a little while again, but now we start with Forrest 2.0, and the cycle continues! 🥰
