HELLO

Not posted in a while.

SO the catch up, Billy had a sprained tail, couldn't wagg for a few days. This all coincided with the father sneakiliy feeding pedigree, which gave him scoots. Of course i was lording it up with smugness, and forced him to give him proper food again. So he is back to normal, and the parental realises the errors of his ways.

Lexi is as usual, great and beautiful and snuggly. Getting fed the good stuff i force! lol

(for those that know me..)
Jago the big one is still here, owner has no intention of moving him..really getting to me. Thriller the little black one is not doing great in shows, and his owner text me tonight and said shes not taking him back basically. Goldie is....mine! lol

sigh.

I have decided i want to be a groomer, so am trying to get that started.

Great to see you, Hayley. Just getting ready for work so I'll pop back later!

Hi Hayley,
Nice to see you again.

Poor Billy! Was it sprained, or was it Limber Tail? Either way, it's painful poor lad.   Well done for getting him to ditch the pedigree! Lexi's a gorgeous snuggle bunny! You don't post enough pics!

What on earth are you going to do? Surely they realise that Jago can't stay there forever?

Any idea why Thriller isn't doing well? Is it something you can work on, or just that he isn't what they're looking for? Goldie's a realm cutie!

Is there anywhere near you where you can train?

I really don't know what to do about jago. I can only yap so much before it just falls on dead ears. Thrillers just got what they are looking for this year they seem to all want taller skinnier horses.

There is a groomin course but it is ridiculously expensive so I'm going to start saving and have emailed a few groomers to ask if they need anyone to help around the salon for experience.

That's a good idea, get some experience before you take the course!

I worked in a grooming salon at one of my kennels. I bathed and dried and preped the dogs for the clippers so I have the experience there. I reckon if I got in somewhere that I would pick it up really fast cause I'm used to clippers anyway. The only thing I need to learn is to do nails and anal glands.

Sounds like it's been hectic! Hope Billy's feeling better!

Anal glands & claws will be something you'll pick up really easily, I bet! You'll be a pro in no time!

Does UCAS apply for your area? If so, you could try getting finance from them for your course!

Hello Hayley sounds like you've been busy.
Poor Billy, hope he's feeling all better now. Grooming would be great, fingers crossed one of them will let you help out.

I already have a ucas loan so i don't think another would be possible lol

That's a shame. Are the courses very expensive?

Aw.

Do you think you could find an apprenticeship somewhere, so that they can train you and put you through the course?

someone said they are like 5k i have contacted them three times about it but they never gt back to me.

i dont think many places do apprenticeships unless your like 15 and working for buttons lol

That's a shame. Might still be worth a shot to ask. If they can't offer you an apprenticeship, maybe they could point you in the right direction to do the course?

Ill maybe do that !

Nvm, had a look at the price list. its not doable at all.

Oh, that's a shame!

What about the Open University? Do they cover anything like that?
