Smoochable Pooches - Dog Grooming Greystones

Before

While attending the Greystones, St. Patrick’s Day parade this year with Brian & Muffin we were given a little lollipop treat for Muffin with a business card attached for Smoochable Pooches. I thought it was a really clever idea and I kept the card on my desk in work till it was time for Muffin’s next groom.

From my very first call with Orlagh I felt at ease, as she breeds Bichon Frise and sounded absolutely lovely on the phone I was actually looking forward to dropping Muffin off, even though her previous grooming session elsewhere had been more like a butchering!!!

I dropped Muffin over to Redford Park, Greystones at 10am and arranged a 2pm approx collection…

I was right, from the moment we arrived & I met Orlagh and family (both hubby & doggies) I felt happy leaving my little fur baby there. We discussed what I wanted & more importantly what I didn’t & when I showed a photo of the last groom & I could see she was horrified.

Orlagh’s set up is fantastic, a separate side entrance to her “doggy parlour” with fully functioning table & bath etc.

I stayed & chatted while Muffin settled in & then I went off shopping with Mummy K (haul to follow!).

I arrived back in Greystones just after 2pm, Muffin was busy in the house playing with all the puppies but she was happy to see me when she was called

The prettiest little Bichon was waiting for me..

Look how adorable she is with her bow!

So if your looking for a fantastic groomer for Bichon Frise or any breed please give Orlagh a call on 087 2606717 and tell her Lee & Muffin sent you

Catch Up - Muffin & My 27th Birthday

Hope you all had a great Christmas break and a belated Happy New Year!

I wasn’t planning to but somehow I have taken a bit of a break from blogging. It wasn’t intentional it just kinda happened with the hectic run up to Christmas, being busy in work & relaxing over the Holidays I haven’t been able to give my blog any <3 !

So what’s been going down in the life of Lee?!

Well, for those of you that don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook you may not know but for Christmas, Brian & I got a new puppy. We are the proud doggy parent’s of a Bichon Frise and her name is Muffin. We are enjoying her so much. She is the best companion and she has settled in just perfectly.

Here she is in her special Christmas collar:

Of course Muffin is just another excuse to shop! She had to have a funky lead so I headed to Mollys in Dun Laoghaire, the staff were so helpful, I thoroughly recommend a visit. I finally settled on the Floral Fling Retractable Lead by Avant Garde, even with the consent of Brian.

Although Muffin is only small, I decided to go for the medium size lead, which extends to 15ft compared to the small which is 9ft and I am delighted with my decision. 15ft seems to be just perfect; I feel that 9ft is too short even for a little pooch like Muffster

So what else is news… Well, last Saturday was my 27th birthday and boy was I spoilt rotten. Friday was my “work birthday”, the mortifying moment the whole office sings & then stuffs their faces with Marks & Spencer cake. Family dinner on Friday night was lovely and Mummy K produced her famous Sticky Toffee Pudding with a musical candle

A day full of surprises courtesy of Brian followed on Saturday. From surprise trips to the hairdresser to a shopping spree to dinner for two turning out to be dinner for a few. My day was FANTASTIC and major brownie points were earned and we haven’t even mentioned my presents yet!

From Brian as well as all my surprises I was lucky enough to get my Bvlgari Tubogas wraparound sunglasses with crystals. Mod. 6030B, to say I LOVE them is an understatement. I prayed for sun at the weekend so I could wear them & I have to say I was pretty lucky. Every time I pass a window, bus stop etc I can’t help but sneak a look!

My sister & brother have arranged some spa treatments while on my holiday later in the week in Eilat, Israel and my parents are going to mend the ring that had to be cut off my hand in Spain in August when my fingers were caught in a car door (never a dull moment!).

I am off to the Holy Land on Thursday with Mummy K for a girlie week away in the sun (fingers crossed).

On that note, I think it’s best to say that I’m back, please check back for regular posts.
