I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my valued customers past and present who frequented my salon over the past 18 months with their beloved pets. Unfortunately I was advised and told by the new store owner to remove my grooming table and supplies on May 18 within 48 hours, which I have done.
Alex received his Honours Bachelor of Science degree from Trent University in Peterborough, major in Ecological Restoration - President’s Honour Roll. Congratulations on your hard work and keep the passion for what you love to do! Wishing you the best in your current position in the Prairies and as you further pursue your passion thru your Master’s Degree. So proud and with much love.
I will certainly miss all of you and your beautiful pets and thank you again for your patronage. “The Village Groomer� - Bruce
