The Travelling Dog Groomer

Decided to put Miss Pearl in a lion trim after our show this weekend! She was wayyyyy too hot. It was also really satisfying to be able to correct all the mistakes I made! #mobiledoggrooming #doggrooming #doggroomersofinstagram #pwd #pwdsofinstagram

@rockymountaingroomexpo recap! Firstly, I want to say thank you to @farahshears and @naneebooboo for being such huge pillars of support and such great cheerleaders. Honestly wouldn't have been able to do it without them! Secondly, I'm honestly so shocked and very proud of myself, after 10 years out of the ring I did way better than I expected. I'm so grateful I was able to bring this wonderful dog, Pearl, she was absolutely incredible. Some lessons I learned: 🌟 it's so important to have support at competitions, and community with our fellow groomers. We can't do this alone, and we are better for it when we help each other. 🌟 The difference between winning 1st or 2nd is often just a few stray hairs. Everyone on that stage is incredibly talented, and no one is perfect every time. 🌟 Competing is about learning, growing, and showing up compassionately for the animals. 🌟 I'm allowed to be proud of myself 😂 Groomers can be so self deprecating, but we are so incredible! 🌟 Keeping a dog looking good for 2 and 1/2 days until the Best in Show lineup is so hard! It's especially challenging when you've got that much time to stare at your mistakes 😂 I had such a fun time meeting all kinds of new friends and seeing familiar faces from back in the day. The facility and show were beautiful and I will definitely be back next year. Thank you to all the judges and facilitators! #doggrooming #competitivedoggrooming #mobiledoggroomer #doggroomersofinstagram

First time grooming this pretty boy! I wasn't able to bathe him myself, so please excuse the lack of finish work. This was a first time "blocking in" of a show pattern on a dog I've never seen before. I'm really excited to work with this dog! We've got some hair to grow in some places but it was so much fun exercising my mathematical architectural biomechanical dog groomer brain! #iws #irishwaterspaniel #akc #mobiledoggrooming

Circa 2013 at the Dallas Pet Grooming expo... I remember walking up to the registration counter the day before my class saying, "Do you know of anyone who has a poodle I could borrow?" The person sitting there, looked down at her dog and said, "yeah! This one!" This is my first ever group first placement and one of my proudest moments as a competitive dog groomer. I ended up placing 11th on Groom Team USA that year, just five points short of making the team. If you've competed, you know how far five points can be. Have you had a serendipitous moment at a dog grooming competition? What was it? #competitivedoggrooming #groomteamusa #doggrooming #poodlelove #doggroomer

Uggghh he's so cute I can't even. Baby boy! #cockerspaniel #englishcockerspaniel #puppy #mobiledoggrooming #doggroomer
