This is a most interesting thread! Thank you, Audrey, for starting it!

When I read about what you want to do, Amy (WolfQ), I got excited! Just today, when I was working, I happened to see a "dog wash" place, which offers either full service grooming or "do it yourself" washing for your dogs. I decided to turn around and pull in there to get some details. I have a horrible time washing my dogs in the wintertime. When I turned down a side street, turned around and headed back out, a lady rear ended me!!! My car is fine and I am fine (can't say the same thing about the lady's car), and it will be around $500 to repair my bumper, but she will have to cover that. I didn't let that little "blip" deter me and I went into this place. What a great atmosphere! I will definitely be taking my dogs in for their baths in the coming weeks!!!

OK, about me. I work for a state agency, now, finally in an office, outside of my home (I worked for a couple of companies from a home office for over 5 years). We make small business loans and I am a satelite office. I love what I do and have been doing the same thing for over 9 years now.

I got home early today because I had to take my car in to be checked over and make sure that there was no damage to the gas tank or other parts.
