Joulie is Toy Poodle that came to me in desperate need of a groom. She is a 13 year old chocolate Poodle, and for reasons of her age the owner explained she doesn't have her groomed often. She hates to take Joulie out as she feels it would upset her. After doing the prep work I bathed her and gave her a blow dry, that's when you start getting the feeling of creating a masterpiece. I added polish and blows to add charm to an already beautiful Joulie. The best part is that she looks 10 years younger and also acts it too. When I started working at a vet clinic I had no grooming experience, only a cosmetology license. I thought it sounded like fun. Eight years later I am in love with grooming. I turned a "chop shop" into a real pet grooming salon at a vet clinic.
