๐ From Heartbreak to Purpose โ The Beginning of Pretty Little Grunters ๐
Iโm incredibly proud to share that Pretty Little Grunters is now a registered NDIS provider! ๐พ๐
This is more than just a business milestone โ itโs Part One of a journey shaped by love, loss, resilience, and a whole lot of Frenchie cuddles.
When I turned 40, I gifted myself my first French Bulldog โ Dixie. She was my heart dog and the very first member of what would become the PLG Pack. ๐ถ๐ซ Tragically, Dixie passed away with her first litter due to a cane toad incident. That heartbreak shattered me โ and redirected me.
After time, healing, and a little courage, I brought home Delilah, my long-haired Frenchie girl. I was scared to try again, but Delilah was amazing โ she delivered eight beautiful pupsโฆ and one big fatty: Moose.
Moose was born with a grade 2 heart defect, and while he wasnโt expected to survive, he defied the odds. Today, heโs thriving and serves as our PLG Mascot, spreading love and resilience at expos, events, and community meet-and-greets. ๐ถ๐ช๐
Letโs not forget the queen herself โ our pocket rocket, Shadow. ๐
She may be little, but she rules the office from her throne (aka Krystalโs desk), keeping everyone in check with her sass, judgmental side-eyes, and daily dose of diva energy. Shadow is small but mighty โ and an essential part of our pack. ๐โโ๏ธ๐พ
With these beautiful dogs by my side, I transformed Pretty Little Grunters into something more than just a love for Frenchies โ I created a registered, ethical NDIS support service, rooted in connection, fun, and care.
I now proudly offer:
๐ก Supported Independent Living
๐งบ Daily Living Support
๐ Social & Community Participation
๐๏ธ Respite Services
We currently support individuals and families across Ipswich, Toowoomba & Brisbane ๐
And yes โ our Frenchies are still front and center.
Our gorgeous Harlequin Merle stud, Dexter, is available for select, ethical breeding. His temperament and markings speak for themselves โ DM me if you're looking to breed responsibly. ๐พ
But no dream comes to life without a strong team. I truly believe that success comes from your pack โ and Iโm so proud of mine.
To our 17 passionate support workers, many of whom have been with PLG from the very start โ thank you. Watching this team grow while still keeping the original faces around is just awesome.
And to Megan, our behind-the-scenes powerhouse โ your hard work, dedication, and eye for compliance keeps us grounded and strong. Youโre the glue that holds us together, and Iโm so grateful for everything you do.
I lead PLG with passion and integrity โ and I believe disability support should be joyful, ethical, and filled with connection (and maybe a few Frenchie snuggles too).
This is for Dixie, for Delilah, for Dexter, for Moose, for Shadow โ and most of all, for the incredible people we support every single day.
Pretty Little Grunters is just getting started. ๐พ๐
