Dave and I are just back from the Atlanta Pet Fair, one of the major trade shows of the grooming world! We spent four days studying scissoring, design, technological advancements in grooming, management, scheduling, dog law, and animal behavior. One of the things on our 'to do' list was to see if we could find a grooming van which would increase our ability to do larger dogs, and which offered more gasoline efficiency along with providing more power for multiple dryers. Professional grooming van design has changed significantly in the past 5 years, and most obviously within the past year, and it was very exciting to see all these improvements.
For four DAYS we shopped in the groomers mall, discussed van construction with all the van dealers, watched the grooming competitions, swapped ideas with product creators and inventors, and met up with old friends and colleagues from years gone past.
Brenda was inducted into the International Society of Canine Cosmetologists (DON'T LAUGH, there IS such a thing!!!!)
