My Schedule

On Friday I am not able to do blogs except one liners. Saturday will be the same. I apologize but this is my schedule:
Friday wash
3 moms and 3 other dogs (haircuts for some) plus brush out mine and visitors. Then we head out for Danielle's confirmation and festivities.
Saturday 18 puppies starting at 730am so I can be ready for the 1st visit. Nathan will have to get the rest ready. If not, I have to get up at 6am.
When everyone leaves I have a big grooming job that usually takes me a few hours. Plus I have 1 more to do.
On Sunday I hope to take a break. We shall see.

I always wash 6 and 8 weeks but I usually take photos. I said I can't do photos. Pups take approx 15 minutes each. Do the math. :-) After playing the numbers every which way, this is my schedule.
Thursday 3 moms plus trim on one dog - bathe Clarity next day.
Friday: Saffron, Molly, Clarity and 9 pups - Clarity just before bed so she looks her best for Saturday.
Saturday - 7am wake up, feed and start 9 pups, brush outs for moms and Clarity. After 2 puppy visits do my 3 hour and Hagia (Hagia late before bed so she looks fresh for next day). Will brush and comb out Hagia for Sunday but otherwise recuperate time.
8 week visit I plan to do photos at bath times so no other groomings will be booked. I will have to do them over a 2 day period. Moms will be done on the Thursday.
Many do not understand how much work it is to do the puppies right. Even the vet visit is going to be done over 2 days as the vet says he can't do 18 at once.
Then we do all the social matchups with pups, test them etc

Darlah good for you. Sounds like you are over the top busy. I look forward to seeing the photos after the family visits. Love the picture. Some days that's me!
I thought you decided to wait until the 8-week visit for the baths? I'm one of the visitors and I know I will be so excited to see the pups that I'm not sure if I will notice if they are bathed or not. 🐶😜❤️
I stand by my original suggestion: Febreeze. ;)

The picture definitely matches your schedule. I just want to say how much I admire and appreciate everything you do. I wish I had even half of your energy!
Hands down you are one special lady Darlah! I wouldn't be able to handle half. Do you have to bathe the puppies for the 6 week visit?
I'm exhausted just reading your schedule!
You are amazing Darlah.
Just keep well! Don't overdo it !
Ask for help when needed.
Exciting times around the corner!
