CONGRATS RACHEL! This is so cool! So are you just classified as a "Bath and Brusher" or are they going to get you started in actually grooming? I'm perfectly content to be just a bath and brusher for now, lol. I shave Reggie and Smokey, but I'm a little paranoid about shaving other people's dogs. I clip nails/clean ears/anal glads (lovely!) also.

I only get $6 an hour also. It's not much, but money is money to me. I work from 12-6 every week day. How many other groomers will you be working with? There's usually only one person with me until around 3 and then I'm alone the rest of the time. Clean, clean, clean is all I do past that lol. I dunno, I'm a loner, so I guess I kind of like having the place to myself.

I hope you are not blessed with *too* many psycho dogs. *Most* of the dogs we get are great, and then there are those few others....like the akita puppy..and that maltese.....lol I do enjoy having bite/scratch marks all over my arms! ha Actually, I have a nice long scratch from my eye clear down my cheek right now....'cept that came from my own little precious Nebo!

One more question.....can you bring your dogs to work with you ever? I can bring mine if I'd like...not every day or anything, but I can if I feel like it. Nebo comes quite often, he's a very good boy. I haven't dared try it with Reggie or Smokey yet. Reggie would bark at E V E R Y B O D Y and drive me insane, and Smokey would also bark and pee all over while he's at it.
