Grooming is more than just a job; it also serves as a creative outlet. “The most rewarding thing about grooming is the ability to create whatever I envision. When a dirty dog comes under my care, I get the opportunity to wash away his past … I create a new identity for him, allowing the dog to start fresh. In actuality, I see a piece of myself in each dog I groom not as a dog but I see myself in the experience. Every dog I groom is my masterpiece and my individual revelation.”
