2010 year of the groomer

[odette]

I hearby declare 2010 the year of the groomer!So many bad things have happened to alot of us on the board, I think we should all raise a glass(or mikes) at midnight and declare "2010 YEAR OF THE GROOMER!" It could be midnight australian time what ever is early enough for us old timers to get to bed!You yong folk can stay up and clean the confetti off the board! ( sneaking out of sight before the uprising).........where's the emoticon with a crown and scepter when you need one?

Hehe, sounds good to me! I feel like I've worked pretty hard this year, and even though there is so much more to come, I feel as though I've got my foot far enough in the door to "stand up and be counted". Which midnight shall we toast to the Year of the Groomer? I'll do them all if I have to!

I second that motion!!!

What a great idea!! If cats and dogs and rats can have a year, so can groomers!!!!

Hear ye, hear ye!!!

HEY! If you want to print something up Odette, I will send it along to EVERYONE I know, and put it on my blog, in our newsletters, etc--really get the word out, because I think this is a FABULOUS idea! What do you think? This could be fun and a great collaborative effort opportunity for all of us to make such a declaration!

[wet noze]

I so agree with this! What a great idea Odette! Count me in.

windy, i am a terrible writer, soo you have my permission to take it and run with it, i can come up with hairbrained ideas, but words fail me.

Maybe one of our great groomer artists could also make a "Year of the Groomer" logo to go with it This is fun!

Hear Hear!
Year of the groomer sounds fabulous!
Here is to a prosperous new year- Dryers that don't break, generators that don't die, exhaust systems that don't try to kill the operator and most of all- to clients that are understanding and place the love you have for their pet above any silly preconceived notions of what they THINK should be done with their dog.
I also wish everyone a safer, happier, healthier 2010. I for one am on the road to recovery, and I hope the same for everyone else.
Thank you all for the support you have given, the lessons I have learned, the tips I have gained, and most of all, for being a place where I can read other people's aggravations and know I am not alone!

You sure do JC! and since I will probably be asleep do one of those midnights for me! LOL

[GroomStar]

Sounds Good!

This sounds like a really great idea! I am starting my new bussiness in Jan. So this really fits into everything I am doing as well.

Time for some new... and Better luck this coming year!

Dawn, just do a European midnight. If I remember right, Italy is something like 6 hours ahead of us, so at 6 pm here, it will be midnight in Italy.

Alright,,unless someone else wants to do this.....!!!!

I will try to write something up! I wish we would've thought of this in time to contact Barkleigh and I could've seen about something going onto the January Calendar of Events--shoot! Ohwell.
K--I will get to it on an announcement. ANYONE who wants their thoughts added can email of PM me as I am SURE that I'm going to need everyone's input for the upcoming year's wishes for each other! I will see about either harranging someone for a logo or doing something meeself! What are some ideas for that, too?
Officially---it will begin January 1st--so the toasts should be done on Dec. 31st, right???!!! Whatcha' think?
**And I vote that we should have a "Groomer's Golden Millenium Party" this year, too---On October 10th, at 10:10:10PM (that's 10-10-10-10-10-10)!! We should all call, text and visit each other where ever we can, and have a toast together!**

Fantastic idea! should we have a contest?

[windywaycavaliers]

Ok--I have a really neat logo almost done---I would like for others to send their logo ideas and any artwork that they have so we can all vote on one and choose--but we need to do it quick as January FIRST is so close! Keep those wishes for 2010 groomers and ideas coming!
