I'm home! I was allowed home from hospital at lunch time today. Nothing majorly wrong was found which is good news! Looks like I've had a nasty virus that knocked me for six and then proceeded to inflame my liver and make me feel even worse! I was very dehydrated, so I've been on IV fluids which has helped a great deal. I'm understandably worn out and had some time booked off already next week with the husband which I'm going to take full advantage of.
Please be patient whilst I get around to contacting you all and rebooking your appts, this might not happen in a hurry and I'd be grateful of your understanding.
Thanks for all my well wishes that you've sent, it really means alot 💜💜💜
Oo thanks to my beautiful bestie for my wonderful new get well mug 😍

Well this is not how I thought today would go, Dr's this morning who sent me to A&E and now I'm here for at least tonight, possibly more!
Turns out there's something wrong with my liver but they don't know why! So let the investigations begin 💜

Hello lovely people, I am really really poorly and I'm going to need to rearrange all this weeks appointments 😢
Huge apologies to all of you, this can't be helped, I have never felt so ill in all my life.
If you are booked in this week and see this before I get chance to message you then please message me first. I am functioning only on minimal energy and trying to sleep whenever I can.
Again sorry for the inconvenience but thank you all for understanding 💜

Please read 💜

Happy New Year everyone!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year...I'll be in touch with everyone who's waiting to hear from me, over the next few days to get you rebooked. My recovery is going well but I'll still be managing my workload so I don't over do it.
Thank you 💜

Well this is not how I thought the end of 2023 would go....so thank you to all of you wonderful understanding and patience clients of mine! I'm still resting my foot as much as possible, still dealing with nerve pain which is hugely uncomfortable but hopefully I'll be able to start rebooking you all In the new year, I shall still be being careful not to over do it , so I'll be managing my work load to accommodate that.
Thanks so much for all sticking with me through this year!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!

Hi everyone! Foot update for you all...
It's been 3 weeks today since my surgery which is very early days still! I think I naively thought I'd be kind of ok by now but truth be told I'm extremely uncomfortable and in pain and walking is still a struggle. I am on medication for nerve pain but it is making me rather sleepy!
This means I still have no idea when I'll be comfortable enough to return to work , so I'm still taking it week by week.....but at this point I'm not sure I can guarantee anyone an appt before Christmas, and I apologise for the inconvenience caused by this.
I'll be in touch with everyone that's booked in before Christmas and we'll see how things go.
Thank you all again for your patience and understanding 💜

Hi everyone!
So yesterday I had my check up with my surgeon. My wound is looking good after just 12 days but I am suffering with a lot of nerve pain in my foot , which is making it hard to walk. This should settle over a period of weeks hopefully. I've still to take it easy for the next few weeks and not do too much.
So I will be looking at my diary, but I'm still rather unsure of when I will start work again. Please bear with me whilst I try and arrange my work load accordingly so I don't hinder my recovery.
Thanks once again for all your get well wishes and patience 💜

💔 I heard the super sad news last week that the gorgeous Umi had unexpectedly passed away after becoming poorly very quickly.
I only saw this sweet girl a couple of weeks ago. I'm so grateful I got to see her one last time, and it's been a pleasure grooming Umi over the last few years 💜
Sending so much love to Umi's family at this sad time 💔💜💔💜

Hi everyone! Just a little update for you all....Nyx is looking after me whilst I recovery from my surgery, my foot is very sore today and I'm hobbling around with a walking stick at home , can't manage to move that much before I need to rest my foot again!
Think I'll start watching Christmas films soon to keep me occupied! 💜

Thanks so much for all my well wishes yesterday! Hugely appreciated... this is my view for the day , well probably the next few weeks! I'm just waiting for my pain killers to kick in as my foot is rather uncomfortable...my first check up is the 24th of this month, so hopefully after that appt I'll have more of an idea of my recovery time.
Once again thank you to all my wonderfully supportive clients 💜💜💜

I was out of surgery at 5pm...I'm extremely tired and hopefully going home soon! Will update you all properly in a few days 💜

Right , here we go again! Just arrived in Hospital and fingers crossed my surgery goes ahead as planned! I'll keep you all posted! 💜

Tealeaf 💜
I think Tealeaf was rather disappointed that his cancelled appt with me got rebooked! He was happy snoozing the day away and didn't want to be disturbed.
Tealeafs getting older now and he's not so keen on his legs being moved about , so he gets his regular clip but it's not that tidy anymore and his legs get left a bit hairy....but that's ok because the main thing Is that he's comfortable and gets his nail trim.
Well done sweetheart, see you in the new year 💜

Hugo 💜
Managed to get Hugo and his sister Umi(not pictured) back in my dairy because of my rescheduled surgery!
A good thinning out for this huge hairy boy and a belly shave and pant trim to help prevent him collecting the garden when he's outside! And his sister had her usual tummy shave and bun trim!
Well done guys, see you in the new year 💜

Leyla 💜
Leyla wouldn't stop washing herself so this is the best pic I got today!
Leyla is another client who was pleased my surgery got rescheduled and she was definitely ready for her bottom shave! Today she even let us trim a bit of ruff at the front as she's always getting in a sticky mess.
What a super star! Well done gorgeous girl 💜

Jake, Bondok & Yelken 💜
These three boys were super pleased that my hospital appt was rearranged! Sweet boy Jake only shows up if he has a knot that needs sorting , so we removed a big knot from behind his ear! Bondok had his regular brush through and needed a bottom trim today, and lovely Yelken who just can't sit still because he's too excited was super ready for his bottom and tummy shave!
Well done boys , I'll be seeing you again after I've recovered from my op!
💜

So my surgery has been canceled last minute and rescheduled for next week!
I'll be I touch with all this weeks clients that were booked in, and hopefully get you rebooked for this week .
This does however push back my recovery time and affect other clients that were booked in later in the month/ early Dec
💜

Huge thanks to my understanding clients today for rearranging their appts, whilst I stay wrapped up at home full of germs , aching all over and sneezing everywhere!
As of Thursday this week I'm off work on holiday until the 8th Nov...crossing fingers I feel better real fast!! 💜

Rodney 💜
Regular visit to the gorgeous Rodney today! And for once he wasn't actually too hairy! So a nice easy session for this boy today, a few chin knots to remove and a good tummy shave and then a good comb through! What a star!
See you next time lovely boy 💜

Hazel 💜
A wonderful grooming session with this gorgeous girl today!
She was such a super star and we managed a really good bottom and pant trim , and a teeny knot removing! And Hazel was giving out lots of head rubs today....what a babe!!
See you next time lovely girl 💜

I heard the sad news last week that sweet old Coco has passed away 💔
I used to see Coco every 3 or 4 months for a nail trim , and she was such a sweet old soul ... sleep well sweetheart 💜
Sending lots of love to Cocos family 💜

Scout 💜
Not seen this handsome boy for a while, his family have been busy with life!
Last time I did see Scout he wasn't a happy boy and his grooming session didn't happen!
So today we decided we'd work on just one area and see how he coped. He did well! We got some knots removed from his back end and a gentle brush through of his back pants and tail and then we stopped the session there on a huge positive note! So moving forward we're going to do little and often and hopefully not cause Scout any stress!
Well done gorgeous boy 💜

Snowball 💜
Just a good tidy up ready for winter for this gorgeous girl today!
A good bottom trim and back pant shave as well as a good belly shave and then thinning scissors to tidy up her body coat.
Snowball is a little sweetheart 💜
Well done gorgeous girl 💜

Alfie 💜
Alfie is a 4yr old rescue boy who belongs to an old client of mine who's previous cat passed away last year. I was called in to remove some matting that had developed around Alfies right hip. He was a little unsure of what I was doing but what a little sweetheart he is! He's going to feel much better without those knots there!
Well done gorgeous boy 💜

I heard the super sad news yesterday that sweet old boy Toby has gained his wings and departed this earth 💔
I'm going to miss seeing this boy and his mum.... but he's at rest now 💜
Sending so much love to his family 💜💔💜
