My Wahl KM2s came in today! I was so excited to get them! (Thank you Pawpaw and Memaw). AND I took a test today to finish out the first part of my training and start me on my Grooming Training / Apprenticeship! (Cheer!!!).
My coach told me to start getting my grooming supplies so I took another look at my “Wishlist” located here on the blog (bottom right corner). I did some comparison shopping and updated links for the most inexpensive items (the other place I had listed was too pricey).
So take a peek at some of the things my groomers toolbox will hold inside it! I’m gonna go play with my clippers some more!
And most of all, I want to say thank you to my friends and family for all there support and encouragement to chase my dreams! You all get free grooms! (When I learn how!).

Well after spending all day driving around town like an idiot looking for a book I decided to do what I should have done in the first place and just order it online! It worries me that it says the book ships in 2-4 weeks!! Why so long? Is each one hand written? I’m very excited about getting this book and I plan to offer a full review of the book. Have you read it? Let me know what you think about the book if you have!

Congratulations to Travis and Presley! I couldn’t have been more pleased with the winner! The final three put up a good fight! JD & Galaxy and Lori & Andrew were some tough competition to go up against! But Travis and Presley pulled through!I really enjoyed this show. I liked the all of the judges (which is odd, normally there is one judge on these type shows I could care less about). As I may have mentioned before the show inspired me to start working more with Lucy on training and so far she has really enjoyed it. Its like she loves having “Work Time” =).
If it wasn’t going to be Bill & Star, I’m glad it was Travis and Presley! And for those of you who wonder what it looks like at the exact moment you have been told you won a quarter of a million dollars please see the picture below!
Gratz Guys! You both deserve it!

Well. last night the judges made a tough decision but I’m going to have to agree with there call. I don’t think Teresa intended to come off as threatening as she did to Leroy but the harsh truth of the matter is, she was. I was sad to see Teresa and Leroy go. I really liked those too. But I like everyone left (as I mentioned last week in my post).
Initially I wasn’t a big fan of Laurie, I would venture to say I didn’t like her much at all (she does come off rather cold). BUT after getting to watch her with other peoples dog’s last night, my opinion of her has greatly changed. What’s up with Andrews infatuation with her? I did find that a little strange. Just a tad bit “Too Much”.
And now we have the Final 3!
JD & Galaxy (I’m so glad Galaxy is ok!)
Travis & Presley (Puppy Power!)
Laurie & Andrew (Big surprises come in little packages)
I will not be disappointed if any of these 3 win. In fact, that’s a hard call.
I think JD & Galaxy will win. I would like to see Travis & Presley win, but Laurie & Andrew are some fierce competition!
I have really enjoyed this show. It has inspired me to spend more time training with my dog Lucy (teaching her new tricks!) and also has opened up a new passion in life for me (training).
