25.01.2022 Effective as of January 1st 2021. My prices are fair and in line with most other groomers in our area. Thank you.

25.01.2022 THERE ARE SO MANY FLAWS IN THIS TIDY UP I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT IT DOES TO SOMEONE LIKE ME!!!!!!! Hello, my name is Max. I do not like grooming. I was referred to Bronwyn as Im a ratbag who struggles with grooming life. My sister mollie is brilliant at it, but Im not so great. Im currently sedated in this photo, its mild but it takes the edge off my anxious, snappy behaviour. My groom will probably never be perfect, and I dont care. Im clean, Im shortish and Im love...d and thats what counts. Today was my second visit here. I was great for the bath and dryer. But the second those clippers come out Im like a demonic force on crack! My groomer loves me though, she doesnt care that I dont like it, she just works around my boundaries and tells me how handsome I am. Then I happily go into my crate and wait for mum to pick me up. Love, max Grooming is for life, not just a moment. Making your dogs experience as positive as possible is one thing we strive to achieve. We groom all types and temperaments at Transfurmations on a weekly basis. Other groomers consider us a last resort and its a good alternative to a knocked out, shaved down dog. We work to build positive relationships with every dog who walks through our doors Happy saturday folks!

Get them while they’re hot or miss out when I release them on networking pages

25.01.2022 Same puddle, different dog! Lola hopes youve all had an awesome weekend, she sure did!

24.01.2022 Hi everyone. We all know how important our dogs are to us. Its now becoming a welfare issue for some of them. We are trying to make a change, for me, money isnt an issue, Ill survive this, my own personal dogs need frequent grooming and I cannot even go to the salon to groom them. ... Dont get me wrong, I think everyone should be able to groom their own dogs, but many of you lack the knowledge and confidence which keeps me and my team in work and you supporting the economy. Our job isnt easy, many older people do not have the ability to even lift their dogs let alone bath them. Many disabled cannot do this either. As a collective, groomers are extremely worried about the amount of dogs we will see coming in who have missed grooms during this time. We will spend extra time on your dogs to ensure we remove all matting as carefully as possible. If you support this petition, please sign and share as much as possible. Thank you

22.01.2022 Hi everyone. If you could take the time to fill out this survey, Id love you to. Please! We are trying our level best to help dogs right now so your input would be super helpful!

21.01.2022 Hi everyone, I’ve now got my diary out for next year and I’m making the list of all of those who want to make the commitment to go on rolling bookings (it means your dog never misses out again) Please send me a PM so I can keep track of who wants this set up for them. I currently have a list of 80 clients who do this regularly and won’t be subjected to extra fees and charges (apart from the price rise for everyone in January) for the extra time taken on knotty dogs. ... I’m currently working on the new price list which I hope to have finished in the next week or so. Thanks!

21.01.2022 Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks? Loki came in for a wash, dry, deshed and nail trim. Her owner said shes going to be a nightmare in a crate... ... I beg to differ! Well done Loki

20.01.2022 Look at me, Im Jeffery, never happy until Im filthy dirty Wont be allowed inside and theres no where to hide Its me, filthy dirty Jeffery! Soooo, who bathed their dogs today? ... Please note, this idiot had a ball. I can never be mad at him for living his best life, no matter the inconvenience. Dogs live in the moment, so should we.

19.01.2022 Spaces for next week... Tuesday- 830, 1130, 12, 1230 and 1pm Wednesday- 1030, 11, 1130, 12, 1230 and 1pm Thursday- 8, 830, 9, 1130, 12, 1230 and 1pm... Friday- 830, 9, 930, 10, 1030, 11 and 1130 Saturday- BOOKED OUT!!!!! Inbox or phone us on 0403 736 232

19.01.2022 WHOA! Now I know what it feels like to be popular I hear you, I see you, I value you, and I will be in touch. ... I feel like a flash mob has just attacked me Im not complaining. Not at all. Please be patient. 70 dogs and 1 groomer doesnt really work in my head. Im taking the weekend to celebrate ISO style then Ill start making calls Monday. Unless of course I get bored and start them tomorrow, its been known to happen. Hahaha. Thank you abundantly for your patience, if you dont hear from me by FRIDAY to rebook, text or message me. I want my regs in before anyone outside of my usual crew. I want to take this opportunity to make note of my mobile mates. Mobile grooming was NOT included in the pet groomers plan. It honestly pisses me off because they CAN AND do 100% contactless. If any of our clients know anyone really struggling in terms of their mobile groomer not being allowed to operate and we can help we are happy to do so. Its not about client stealing its about making the dogs comfortable. I dont care who goes where, just get your dogs groomed! Thanks everyone. We love you all and cant wait to see you back in the salon!

18.01.2022 Good morning everyone Just a quick message from Jeff today. Mum said she will get back to you all in regards to future booked appointments but right now shes taking some down time as advised by all you beautiful clients out there ... This is me, not wanting to be out of bed this morning. Im currently running laps of the house with my sisters playing before mum takes us all out for a walk later. She mentioned something about organising the house and cleaning. I think she should play with us instead! Love, Jeff.

18.01.2022 NEW RESTRICTIONS!!!!! With new restrictions being announced an hour ago we still dont have any news on whether we will be able to stay open for our locals. Sorry guys, for those who have messaged me today I still dont have answers for you Ill know more tomorrow once its announced. ... Stay safe, Bronwyn

18.01.2022 We are open Tuesday-Friday from 8am And every other Saturday from 8am

18.01.2022 COVID SAFE PLAN! Please read carefully. While its very exciting that our numbers are dropping daily and the peninsula doesnt seem to have any right now, we all know thats subject to change with people moving through the community and people making silly mistakes. Heres our take on it in some really easy, simple to follow steps thatll help make our jobs easier and keep us all safe. ... 1. Upon entering reception, please have your mask on and sanitise your hands with the sanitiser provided. 2. Please remove all collars, leads, accessories from your dog and take them with you. We dont need or want them. 3. Please place your dog in the crate provided (which will be cleaned and disinfected between every dog coming in and out) also ensure you LOCK the crate so your dog is secure. Dont worry, they wont be in there long! 4. Please put your name and number in the Covid contact tracing book which will be on top of the crate. 5. Please exit without a fuss. We will call you when your dog is ready. We have extra cleaning to do between clients so itll take longer than your usual wait with insane amounts of clients booked in. Simples! We will then use our own leads to take your dog straight to the bath for a good scrub and dry before clipping and styling, brushing, combing and nail trimming, etc etc. ONCE WE ARE DONE WE WILL CALL YOU. I cannot stress this enough. If you call or pop in constantly I will cut the groom short and your dog will go home unfinished. We will try to get your pooch back to you in a timely manner of course but given the lack of grooms and brushing some dogs are bound to take longer. Just bear with us, I am not prepared to compromise safety and quality on this one. I know all of you understand this. We cannot wait for Monday to roll around so we can get cracking on all of these puppies in need. And a massive MASSIVE thank you to those who have been brushing and combing at home! I can honestly say it makes a big difference when your dog is happy to have their hair cut, and its less time consuming to groom them. Let the grooming resume Monday! #covidinstructions #awesomeclients #cantwaittoseeyouagain EDITING TO ADD ANOTHER NOTE- there are clear exceptions to every rule. Buckets that are usually left on dogs for health reasons are perfectly fine to leave on. I wont be responsible for a vet bill, Ill just wash and sanitise the bucket for you Some dogs also have fiery tempers and we will need to do things in the exact same way as we normally do. Given that I handle most of the grumpy ones (all since becks on mat leave) I am happy to continue with our usual processes so no injuries occur. I value my fingers

17.01.2022 My name is Freddy and I am Jorja’s brother. I am just over 12 months old and up until today I had never visited a groomer at all. I’m a big chicken for new things so no one was sure how I would go. While I was nervous, mum and dad have really put the work in in terms of my coat. I had no knots or matting to see or speak of, I am bathed regularly but I’m not really a fan of the hair dryer so mum chose not to push it. Aunty Bron said it needed to be done and blow dried me 99% ...and I just stood there having a bit of a quiver but soon realised she wasn’t trying to hurt me so I just dealt with it and we moved on. Then she put me on the table and got the brush onto me. I like being brushed, I stood perfectly still getting my ears and neck done, I didn’t mind the scissors on me either. She did this thing she calls a breed trim and it made me happy when she called me her goodest boy as you can see, I got quite tired after grooming, well actually, We were still going when I decided I needed to nap. Good job Freddy, it makes me extremely proud that you took it all in your stride and bravely faced a challenge that many would go to complete water on. We look forward to seeing you next time! P.S excuse the messy table. I was too busy trying to get photos #lifesbetterwithagordonsetter #gordon #beautifulboy #brotherofmygirl

17.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE WILL BE OPEN FROM THE 28th OF SEPTEMBER!!!! I will be contacting everyone during the next week or so to rebook everyone. ... Thank you so much to everyone who signed the petition, contacted MPs, etc who have pushed so hard to get us back open for the welfare of our dogs! As you can imagine my phone is blowing up bigtime so please be patient! Many thanks, Bronwyn

16.01.2022 What’s better than an Akita puppy? NOTHING! This little champ had his first bath with us today. And was the calmest, super chilled puppy ever! Took it all in his stride, stood like a rock. Absolutely beautiful! ... We look forward to your next visit gorgeous boy

16.01.2022 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Chunky dogs are NOT cute. If your dog is overweight either exercise them more or feed less. The amount of overweight dogs who have underlying conditions because of owner guilt (over feeding to make up for lack of time/play/exercise) this is on YOU to be responsible for your dog and keep them as healthy as possible. ... Some dogs are built bigger, and if you’ve got thousands of dollars readily available to pay for surgeries when ACL’s go because your dog isn’t healthy then good for you, but why should a dog go through all that pain? (Usually if one ACL goes the other goes within 12 months so double your cost, anywhere up to 10k) Not to mention that your dog is in PAIN from being overweight! A massive 66% of our dogs are in pain and you wouldn’t even know it. Dogs are highly stoic creatures who don’t usually display something unless it’s bothering them. They simply put up with it. Stop loving your dogs to death and start doing the right thing by them. I speak from experience here. Lola is very prone to putting on weight very quickly and if I don’t manage it correctly, she porks put. My first golden retriever was a massive 60 kgs. It took 18 months to get him down to 38kgs. There are all sorts of ways to work muscle groups and feed correctly. Please, I implore you to do the right thing by your dog. There’s nothing harder than trying to groom an over weight dog because they can’t stand up or even hold themselves up. Moving them in a natural position hurts them and groomers feel terrible when the dog cries out in pain. Most of you know how blunt I am on this one, and I’m not afraid to say what I think if I know it’s in your dogs best interest. The good thing is that many of you have listened this year. I’ve seen marked improvements in weight loss with paticular dogs and I’m highly encouraging it again next year and every year thereafter. Some of you will be offended, but it’s not about you. It’s about the health of your dog. If you’re struggling and want some help, there will be a program available next year designed especially for this purpose. It’s an absolute passion of mine along with behaviour. Happy Monday!

15.01.2022 Holy SH#t! You guys know how to keep us busy! Just a small handful of appointments left for this week which are... Thursday now booked out!! Friday now booked out!! Snap them up while you can!!!

15.01.2022 Last appointments for the year are as follows. December 10th- 1130, 12pm, 1230 and 1pm (small dogs only) December 11th- 1030, 1130, 1230pm (small dogs only) ... Or, washes/tidies only for larger dogs. That’s it for the year!

15.01.2022 That’s it! We are completely booked out for the rest of 2020! #thankyou #decembergrooming #204dogsleftfortheyear

14.01.2022 Hi guys, as many of you know we have always done nail trims at the cost of $5 and its going to charity. From today onwards, we will NOT be accepting walk in nail trims during these unprecedented times. We aim to be as contactless as possible in order to do our part to stop the spread of this virus. ... If one thing is clear from my observations, some folks just dont know how to social distance, they barge through our doors with no thought or regard to anyone else picking up or dropping off their dog. Im disappointed that I have to make this call as I know many of you rely on this service but with Covid numbers on the rise on the peninsula we all have to do our part. I wholeheartedly recommend you use our/your local vet to continue trimming those nails, or any other salon who are prepared to take walk ins. Short of this, you can make an appointment to have your dog groomed and it will be done as part of the service. Completely up to you guys. This was not an easy decision for me to have to make and I apologise for any inconvenience it may cause. Thank you Bronwyn

14.01.2022 NEXT AVAILABLE SPOTS. Nov 12th- booked out. Nov 13th-130pm Spoke too soon when I needed to change a booking ... Changed again. One spot left!

14.01.2022 Hamish (left) and his litter brother Argo came to visit yesterday. 4 year old brothers who had NEVER had a visit to the groomers professionally before in their lives. They did so amazingly well and I was so proud of them. Hamish and Argo Tassie born and bred by shauna laird Victorian loved and owned ...

13.01.2022 Dear Humans and dogs alike. As of tomorrow evening at 11:59pm we will be closing our salon doors for the 6 week lock down period. We have booked in as many of you within range as we can and we will aim to have you guys back in the salon with us as soon as we can. ... We want to thank everyone who has supported us during this uncertain time. As we inch closer to September 13th when this is all over I will have the diary at home with me so I will continue to take bookings and of course if we are allowed to open earlier, Ill let you all know. My own dogs are going to stink to high heaven because trying to get them in before lockdown wont happen I might manage to get them done at home somehow. Thank you for your patience and understanding at such a challenging time for so many. I encourage each of you to brush and comb your dogs so that we dont end up with matted messes at the end of this. See you on the flip side of this pandemic. Bronwyn, Beck, Jess and the Transfurmations clan of 7

13.01.2022 Food for thought. How big is your cup when feeding your dogs?

13.01.2022 Thank you thank you thank you to all of my AMAZING CLIENTS. I have now successfully rebooked 180 dogs over a 2.5 week period. I have a handful of clients to contact tomorrow, HAVE YOU BEEN MISSED????? If so, text or inbox me and I will get you in. Otherwise, there will be a couple weeks wait for the next free booking. ... Its been lovely chatting to all of you the last few days and I am truly touched at how much concern thats been shown around us burning out. I have made sure Ive capped numbers for each day with a limited amount of large dogs due to back issues. I have to say, I was genuinely surprised at just how many people have told me to put my pricing up. Ive always tried to be fair but a good portion of you have said its time. Maybe it is, I know with rent, rates and outgoings going up I will have to make adjustments... then one of my beautiful clients reminded me... And I quote Bron, we arent just paying for your time. We are paying for your experience in learning how to be that timely, put your prices up, you really need to Clearly Im really hopeless with this stuff With that being said, yes, pricing will go up, but it will be in January next year. Thank you so much for giving me so much purpose in the world. Nothing makes me happier than watching dogs thrive in a grooming environment and I am blessed to do that every day of my choosing. Thank you all so much for everything. You guys truly are the best!!!! #wonderfulclients #bestfeeling #dogs #grooming #happygroomer

12.01.2022 COVID ANNOUNCEMENTS.... YES WE ARE OPEN TOMORROW. If you have an appointment booked and live more than 5kms away from the salon will need to cancel. Theres no need for you to get fined for this. ... HOWEVER- its still very much unclear on what our expected trade is going to be like for the next 6 weeks. Im waiting on communication from business Victoria to clarify my thoughts so that I know if I can continue to operate or not. This is frustrating for many. But I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you guys to brush your dogs religiously for the next 6 weeks!!!! (Its free!) I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND using a groomer closer to you provided we are allowed to continue to trade so your pets dont end up a complete mess during this time. Ill continue to update as I find out more information Stay safe, Bronwyn

12.01.2022 Updated appointment list for the rest of this year. This is it! I won’t be taking a cancellation list or filling spots closer to Xmas. Especially not on our last day as I’ll be leaving straight from work with the dogs and heading north

11.01.2022 UPDATE! Countless hours have been spent contacting clients and rebooking. First day was 6 hours, second day was 10. ... Today Ill be working on worker permits and our Covid safe plan youll all be expected to follow once we open. (Many thanks) We have decided to open up 7, YES 7 days for the first few weeks to get your dogs groomed. Our first week back already stands at 100 dogs to be bathed and clipped Im still working my way through messages, texts and calls which I will start on later today. Youve not been forgotten. For those who have not responded to my calls or messages, I cannot hold spots for you. I have to keep moving to the next person on the list otherwise Id never get anything done. I am exceptionally grateful to those happy to wait, and those who already had appointments within those first 2 weeks prebooked. They still stand. Trying to move rolling bookings makes no sense at all as it affects the rest of the year. For those clever humans who have booked in their Christmas grooms, kudos! Organised owners make for happy groomers! I SHOULD have gotten back to everyone by Friday. But Ill update should things go wrong. Ive killed my phone twice in 2 days because clearly I talk way too much See you all really soon!

11.01.2022 COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENTS. after todays press release about our road map, I, like many other business owners are disappointed to see we wont be opening as previously thought. In fact, we have to wait for further directives on when itll happen now. Theres no clear cut answers. To all of you who have prebooked appointments for this month (September) please consider them cancelled (again painfully) ... Instead of me trying to figure out when we will be opening up again, I have a list of everyone who booked and once I have a better understanding of when I can open up, I will contact you all individually. In the mean time, if your dog has horrible matting, please go to a vet who can clip it off, an ugly haircut isnt the end of the world, otherwise, Keep brushing and combing as often as possible! 3 more weeks of the unknown. Hopefully we will have answers. Please stay safe. I miss you all! Oh, humans too Regards, Bronwyn

11.01.2022 Yeah lady, you just keep rubbing me down with that towel like a good slave The gorgeous Fen!

10.01.2022 ISOLATION BRUSHING Jeff and Lola were so impressed with this, NOT yes thats my bed because I dont have a set up at home (yet) that allows me to groom my dogs. Anyway, only a small handful of people I need to rebook for sept. ... If you dont hear from me by the end of the week this means Ive potentially missed you so if you could contact me that would be awesome! I know this sounds silly, but please think about your Christmas bookings!!!!! Stupid as it sounds, if youre not on a schedule you may miss out. Crazy hey?

10.01.2022 20 hours all up spent rebooking clients in the last 3 days and Im not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel any time soon Sorted out worker permits and a Covid safe plan which you will all need to follow once you come in. Ill post those details when Im 100% happy with it HAVE I MISSED GETTING BACK TO YOU YET??? ... I still have a backlog Im working on clearing out. But I think I have moved everyone prebooked in the diary forward, and I have touched base with everyone who has messaged me via fb page. IF YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED PLEASE SEND ME ANOTHER MESSAGE!!!! I have another 25 phone calls to attend to tomorrow, and 15 text messages. I will do my best to try and finish these by tomorrow. Again, if I have missed you either message me here, call me or text with your details and I will get back to you. I think its time for dinner!

10.01.2022 HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY LEWIS!!!!!! 3 weeks ago we thought you wouldnt make it with all of your illnesses. But your owners didnt give up on you. You are one of my grumpiest little turd clients who I love working with (youll never beat me ya monkey) ... Your groom is never perfect, but youre always comfortable when you leave. See you on the flip side of this pandemic, youll have grown your hair back by then

09.01.2022 When your mums a groomer and you cant even get a damned haircut yourself. She even told me -I- have to go on the waiting list. What the hell???? Good thing shes been brushing me otherwise Id be a complete mess. For now, Ill sit here and give her stink eye because its hot half the time for me. ... ~chronicles of Felicia~

09.01.2022 Sammy dog the super star. Please excuse my messy table and the incomplete groom. This little man is so very chilled when it comes to grooming. I can literally ask anything of him and he will do it. His sister penny is a little different, she’s anxious but very compliant. She just wants it over with. I didn’t bother stressing her out trying to get a photo today. Humanity over vanity only in this salon #sammydog #perfectboy #blessedgroomer #seeyouin8weeks

08.01.2022 Here’s what’s left for the year! December 1st- 830am, 1030am, 1130am,1230pm, 1pm and 130pm Dec 4th- 930am, 1030am, 11am, 1130am, 12pm, Dec 8th- 830am, 1230pm...

Get them while they’re hot or miss out when I release them on networking pages

07.01.2022 #welfareovervanity

07.01.2022 PHONE ISSUES for those leaving voice messages, please text instead. Voice messages are sounding garbled and I cant make sense of any of them right now for some reason. Im hoping this is temporary and will clear out all my voice mails over the weekend and see what else I can do to fix the problem. So sorry if its an inconvenience to you. On the plus side, eftpos is running like a dream! Who knew I could fix stuff

06.01.2022 Next week goes a little something like this.. Tuesday- 8, 830, 930. Wednesday- 11, 1130, 12pm, 1230 and 1pm Thursday- 830, 9, 930, 10, 1030 and 11am... Friday- 8, 830, 9, 1230pm and 1pm. Fully booked this week!

05.01.2022 Hello? Are you here for me? Well hurry up and get the hell out to the car, it’s my bloody spa day lady Cuba Any time this boy hears my name he goes to the door and waits. I swear he knows stuff

05.01.2022 So, Felicia wants to know... Turn her back into a poodle? Or let her grow into a teddy bear?

04.01.2022 This girl! Another awful bout of pancreatic issues for princess muffin who is one of our regulars. Finally home and resting, another awful vet haircut we get to grow out (don’t worry princess, hair grows back, just stop getting bloody sick and stressing your mummy out) ... Feel better baby girl, I’ll see you soon princess muffin

04.01.2022 Dear humans, Today is my 5th birthday. I made it to 5 years old despite my cheekiness. Mum spoilt me with muffins and toys, we played ball in the yard this morning which I love, and now as Im busy barking outside I need to be heard to get my message across. ... Every day I sit with mum while she responds to heaps of texts, calls, email and messenger posts. You humans are in high distress with dog grooming to be allowed in step 3 of the roadmap. Im a dog who generally only needs a tidy up, my sister Felicia is a high maintenance breed who currently looks like a cross between an Alf doll, and a yetti. We dont bring our work home here, it stays at the shop. Many clients have asked us if we will break the rules, or to be first on the list going back. Its not possible because nothing is truly locked in yet. For my birthday, because a lot of you tend to spoil me on this day every year Im making a single request. Please see the post about calling the DHHS and Covid hotlines and express your concern for your dogs. The faster we get to help you guys, the less impact itll have on peoples dogs and wallets. According to a very regular client, our own local vets are not grooming. They need to be free to work with clients on other matters. Mum has emailed them along with Neale Burgess MP to express her concerns as have a lot of other groomers. If vets are not grooming, how on earth are people going to have their dogs groomed? This is a welfare issue. Many people rely on us to help take care of their dogs because they cant manage it So please, for my birthday if you could just take some time and put pressure on the government to reopen us faster so we can help YOUR dogs, that would be brilliant. I miss my friends, love Jeffrey.

03.01.2022 BELLA Happy 9th birthday to one of my most consistent, well behaved, coat to die for clients! Iso sucks not getting to love on you for your birthday, but I have no doubt youll be spoilt beyond belief ... With Tracey Waugh

03.01.2022 I have to admit, Im guilty of doing this with new dogs in the salon. Please give your dogs the choice to make their own decision.

02.01.2022 You guys sure know how to book us out quickly Next weeks spots are as follows Tuesday- 830, 9, 10, 1030, 11, 1130, 1230 and 1pm... Wednesday- 830, 9, 10, 1030, 11, 1130, 12, 1230, 1pm and 130 Thursday- 930, 10, 1030, 1130, 12 Friday- 830, 9, 10, 1030, 1130. Seems like a lot hey? Not really when the phone starts to ring. You know what to do, call or message for an appointment as they never last!!

02.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone. My apologies for not getting back to everyone sooner about future appointments. Unfortunately Ive had a death in the family and havent much felt like doing anything. This plus lockdown can be seriously depressing and stressful. However, today marks a new day where numbers seem to be stabilising and I have a rough idea of when we will be back open and running. For those who missed out on their grooms booked in August I will be booking you in first ...(prebooked clients) before I put anyone else in. Chances are Jess and myself will be working more hours to get you guys caught up to date with your dogs (my 4 havent even been done and arent likely to go on the schedule either until everyones dogs are up to date - looks like this mumma will be working on her off days just to get my own clean and clipped) If I have not spoken to you via phone, messenger, text, etc PLEASE call me and leave a message so that I can contact you as soon as Im able to. And, if you could please post your dogs photos, that would be great. I miss them all so freaking much!! (Even the naughty ones! ) Take care everyone and stay safe! xxx Bronwyn

02.01.2022 Congratulations to our very own groomer Beck and her partner Nick who finally popped yesterday!!! (In 6 weeks when the lock down is lifted Ill see you back at work right? ) Lying to children about where mummy is has become my specialty over the last 3 days as was my crash course in parenting I dont know how you guys do it, Im wrecked! ... Enjoy your time off in iso with this little one and Ill see you as soon as I can actually visit instead of caring for your kids (yes, everything was done correctly, no children were harmed in the last 3 days of me babysitting them ) Love, Bron and the hounds

02.01.2022 Morning guys, hope youve all been well. With Sundays announcements looming ahead of us, we will then have an idea if we can open or not. (We really want to, I miss your dogs and my own are probably sick of me by now ) BUT please be prepared to be rescheduled again if we cant. ... To be honest, I probably wont have a clear idea on Sunday, usually when announcements are made we need to seek further clarification in regards to statements made by our governing body as our industry is one of those that kinda sits in limbo a lot of the time. As soon as we have answers, we will post here, and make contact. Rest assured I have a massive list of waiting clients who Ill be working through as quick as possible to get everyone back on schedule. If your dogs are matted, its going to take me longer so please make sure you allow for that when we speak next. Thank you! Jorja and Leo offlead at the foreshore- photo got attention

01.01.2022 Hi guys, just wanted to clear a couple of things up. A few people have said if they get a letter from their vets that we can groom their dogs for them. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! ... The DHHS and business hotline have confused a lot of people, but we are definitely not allowed to groom. Certain vets are only doing welfare grooms (youll need to check with your vet if you need this done) and some arent purely because they dont have the time or resources to do this. Please keep brushing and combing your dogs. Ive already compiled a list of people who are needing their dogs groomed once we open and its growing by the day. Im one groomer who will be busting her butt to fit you all in as quickly as possible. I hope everyone is doing well during this difficult time period. I know my crew are loving having me at home right now. But I am making sure while they have one on one time and group hang outs with me that they have independence from me also as once Im back at work they wont understand why Im not home. Just food for though.

01.01.2022 Due to a cancelation I have 3 spots left tomorrow. 8, 830 and 9am. Get in quick or Ill sleep in for once

01.01.2022 Ive posted this petition before and Ill post it again and again and again until Ive annoyed you all enough to get you to sign up. Animal welfare and caring for a dogs basic needs is paramount to us all. Distressed phone calls from the elderly on a daily basis is something a lot of groomers are getting right now. ... PLEASE SIGN THIS. MATTED DOGS MATTER. IMPACTED DOUBLE COATS MATTER. Its not always a case of neglect, its a often a case of physically being unable to do this!

01.01.2022 IMPORTANT NOTICE.... I spent 6 hours on the phone today rebooking my August clients. Tomorrow I will spend another good portion of my day rebooking Septembers clients. If you havent heard from me yet please dont panic! I will get to you! Im already down for 6 day weeks and as the only groomer with beck on maternity leave I can only do so much per day. ... For those I managed to rebook today, it was lovely chatting with you all and Ill see you really soon!
