Finally Back!

That took a little longer than I hoped.

If you've been wondering where all the blog posts disappeared to, I promise I didn't fall off the face of the earth. My web host made some changes behind the scenes that suddenly made it impossible for me to publish posts from my phone. Normally that wouldn't be a huge deal, except I don't have access to a computer. Talk about terrible timing!

The good news? We finally got everything sorted out, and I can post again. I have genuinely missed sharing, and I'm excited to get this blog rolling again.

There have also been some pretty big changes while I was away.

After a lot of thought, I've decided to make Leashes Pet Salon on Ann and Simmons my new home base. It wasn't an easy decision because I truly loved my time grooming at The Ark Animal Clinic. I loved my clients, my coworkers, and all of the wonderful dogs I had the privilege of grooming there. But this feels like the right next chapter, and I'm excited for everything that's ahead. If you've been trying to track me down, this is where you'll find me now!

I'll still be grooming the same way I always have, with plenty of patience, lots of laughs, and an unhealthy obsession with making dogs look ridiculously adorable.

And congrats to my friend Shawna on her beautiful new salon Dogz By Shawna on the corner of Cheyenne and Buffalo. I'd wish you well, but you got the goods and do amazing work, so wishes aren't necessary. ;P

Thanks for sticking with me through the unexpected silence. I'm so happy to be back, and I can't wait to fill this blog with whatever else pops into my head. I'm ready and excited to make up for lost time.
