1. When you have a slicker in your own personal care supplies.
2. You strategically place "Pet Edge" catalogs at peoples houses who might order something for you. Items already marked of course.
3. When you come to terms that every mix in the world is either a Lab or Poodle mix. Even the wire haired ones. You will know this 'cause the owner told you so.
4. When you refer to a dog using its last name but don't know its owners first.
5. When you answer people who ask why you don't cut human hair you tell them people hold too still.

1. When your kiss your clients dog goodbye on the lips, but when your client reaches out to shake your hand goodbye it seems a little to personal.
2. You give all of your clients dogs kisses all day without thinking about it, but when you get home and your husband puckers up you cringe at his breath.
