Some snoozy Friday faces for you all 🥰 I couldn’t be without a table mat now, and neither could the dogs by the looks of it 😂🫶💜 PawMat - Anti-fatigue Mat

Iv a couple of days off now, so messages will be answered on Sunday, along with a little info! Keep your eyes peeled 🤍

A little space on the grid for this special girl Nala ✨

Rescued at 6 months old, and now living happily at home with her loving new family, Nala made the trip down from Ullapool last week to have her first ever salon pamper, and she was a literal angel 🥹🤎

She is a Rottweiler x Mastiff and the most beautiful colour. The short haired breeds are just as adored in my salon as the fluffy teddy bears 🥰 Can’t wait to see you again t***s ✨

Sweet boy Freddy ✨🤍

Swipe for some gorgeous autumnal Fuller Frills 🖤🤎🤍

A little appreciation for the big man, our very own “baby” Odin 🩶

He’s some boy 💪 full of personality, always making us laugh, and the best behaved gentleman on the grooming table 😇

Love you Odin xx

Happy Monday ✨

Yesterday I was down in Falkirk to attend a poodle workshop with the insanely talented Holly Mills sharing all her knowledge and expertise ✨ Daphne has never looked so good 🥹🤍🐩

A couple of areas to let grow in, but I learnt so much and feel much more confident now on what I need to work on for my next comp 🤓

An amazing day with a fabulous bunch of groomers and TEN POODLES in one room 😍 (dreamy)

Thank you for hosting Jodi, your salon is gorgeous 𝙹𝚘𝚍𝚒 and thank you Rebecca Dog Groomers | Lanark | Premier Dog 🦴 for having me to prep the night before 🤍🙏✨

✨🤍🥳 SILKY PAWS TURNS 10!! 🥳🤍✨

A decade down the line 🥹 what started as a notepad with numerous business names and ideas scribbled down, turned out to be one of my biggest accomplishments in life ✨

I went from mobile van, to my first salon, and in theory should have settled there. But I had dreams and goals that I still wanted to achieve so I took some big risks, and I can’t imagine had I not had the guts to do that, the amount of people I may never have met and adventures i would never have been on!

Silky Paws has taken me to 4 different cities and even a different country 🌍 I have renovated countless spaces 😆 met some of the loveliest people, groomed more dogs than I could ever keep count of, and built something that 10 years later, is still thriving. And it’s all thanks to every single one of you who put your trust in me to do the best job ever with all your precious doggies 🥹🤍

Without being cliche, please don’t ever think you can’t do the things you dream of doing, because I literally started with nothing! Less than nothing actually I started with debt and zero borrowings, nothing!! 2 very supportive parents who let me move home and live rent free until I got up and running, and the willingness to graft my ass off 💖

Just me and my little soul dog Cooper, who is missed more than life every single day, I would’ve been lost without him by my side through all our crazy moves, he is the OG, the real boss and always will be. Along the way we recruited Odin & Daphne (and Steven 😆) and I now get to work from my humble little home with a new focus, and new direction taking me into the world of dog grooming comps ✨

Il leave it with one more cliche note…..trust yourself, don’t listen to negative opinions, your goals aren’t everyone else’s goals and nobody else needs to understand your choices but you 🙏

Ten years of thank you’s will never be enough, because without my clients, none of this would be possible 🤍✨🤍✨🤍
