You KNOW you are a groomer when you spray dog cologne on self to go into Bank to deposit chercks..Or any store after grooming day is done. Find little tufts of fur in fresh towels. Can't get it out..use it anyway.Don't mind dog pee or poop or vomit...but can't stand to be around old peoples home or sick le.People. Kiss doggies even on yeah mouth. good teeth ones only. Don't like hand shakes..claming hands yuck.

A few weeks ago I went to Taco Bell to pick up lunch. Reached in one pocket to get the money to pay for an order and a big ole clump of dog hair fell out on the counter.

That is so true. I spray myself if I have to go anywhere when I am done grooming. So's I don't smell like a doggie. lol

I would rather smell a dog over some humans anyday.

When you catch yourself writing Cookie Harrison,Bongo Jones,Eagle Murphy in your appointment instead of the owner's name....

When you're watching a movie with a dog in it and you critique it's haircut.

Same here with the hair in my pocket. My money is also usually soggy.

You also know you're a groomer when you don't bat an eyelash at the idea of picking up a turd with your bare hand if a towel or bag don't happen to handy.

LOL, ok, this is sad - for Christmas I planned on getting my coworkers breed specific calendars, but I had a hard time buying most of them because I spent forever looking at the pictures and being dissatisfied with the grooms in them. :-P

...when you pick the hair (or not) from your coffee and drink it...when you cough up hair on a regular basis...when you have in depth conversasions with your dog...or anyone's dog!

[mustluvdogs1]

It would probably be costly, but with computer and printer, maybe you could create your next calander from your own client photos and give to fav clients and coworkers. you have 11 mos to get all mos in.

I thought the same thing when I first saw Oprah's Cockers, and I've read similar comments from other groomers before. But, I've since learned that her Cockers are groomed by Billy Rafferty of Chicago who is an award winning groomer, seminar speaker, and Certified Master Groomer. He knows how to groom Cockers correctly, but that's not what Oprah wants so the style of haircut done is per her request.

I do the same thing with the spray, lol. I also get in trouble from the DH for going out in my grooming attire, lol. I'm always like I don't care, I'm not trying to impress anyone lol.

[pekapoosmom]

I love when I used to groom a Samoyed and would get lunch after her and stop to get something and the guy behind the counter would ask me if I had a fight with an animal??? LOLOLOL I had tufts of her hair stuck in my pony tail....LOLOL
