Here are a few of my attempts at Creative Grooming

This was my first contest.  Held at Chicago's All American Grooming Show in 2004 with my dog Katy, a rescued Standard Poodle from Plano, Texas. 2nd Place!

Here is Katy and me again, this time we are in Atlanta, GA for The Atlanta Pet Fair. We didn't place (darn it!) but Katy proved to be a trooper through it all. This was her last show. She was 11 years old and it was time to retire.

This is Spencer, a client of mine. He was only 9 months old at this contest in Chicago for The All American Grooming Show in 2005 (animation done by Peggy - my online groomer photoshop guru) Thanks Peggy!

This is Jasmine the "lobster". I don't have a really good photo of her back which shows the detail of her trim unfortunately. We didn't place, but the competition was FIERCE! Still she was a crowd favorite and a big ham!

This is Rudy Craft. His owners Bill and Sue Craft own the Cingular store downtown. In 2006 I put the "jack" on his sides for the Potowatomi parade, he was a huge hit. This year at&t bought out Cingular so I had to change his symbol to reflect the new name!

Ok so this isn't exactly creative grooming, but after grooming Cupid the Afghan Hound, I kept thinking, you remind me of someone....then it dawned on me who. Criss Angel the magician!  I did a little photo editing of his eye, but the hair is all his!

Katy was the Incredible Hulk for halloween in 2003 and my kids were Spiderman and Superman. People all over were taking pictures of her! They were telling the kids to move out of the way to get pictures of the dog! I'm the only mother I know that can upstage the kids with the dog.
Sorry kids.

In November 2007 we competed at the U.S. Pet Pro Classic in Dallas, Texas.  Our theme was The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

No football theme is complete without a "football".

To a "Dandie Dichon"! I always wanted to groom a Dandie Dinmont Terrier, however there aren't any around here. So I made my own "designer" breed.
He's a boy, so maple leaf was added for censorship!
