You know you're a....

Been having fun this week with "You know you're a..." lists. Here are my favorites!

​(Did I forget one???  Comment your favorite below!)

You know you're a groomer when... 

• You pull out your wallet at the grocery store and toe nails fall out
• You use dog conditioning spray to detangle your own hair
• Someone asks what smells like pee....and it's you! 
• You can't look at a dog without judging their haircut
• You see a dog on tv and can't help but look at how long the nails are
• You tweeze hair splinters every night as part of your bedtime routine
• You run out of human shampoo but you have dog shampoo so it's NBD
• You pick the eye gunk out of the eyes of every dog you meet
• You don't complain about the smell of anal glands
• You lean down to pet a dog and instinctively feel for matts
• You're thankful the blood on the white dog you're grooming is from you! 
• You use dog cologne when you have to run errands after work
• The hairs you pluck from your nipples are not yours
• You don't think twice about picking up dog poop with one hand while eating a sandwich with the other
• You find poop in your pocket and just shrug it off
• There's dog hair on your food but you eat it anyway
• You're grooming your significant other and hold them by the chin. (and you refer to trimming your boyfriend's beard as people grooming)
• You shave your legs with a 40 blade and velocity dry your hair after washing it in the dog tub
• You wake up in the middle of the night feeling like you forgot to trim Fluffy's nails

Part 2
​You know you're a bow addict when.... 

• You know all about the life and goings on of your favorite bow maker
• You place 4 or more orders in one month (you know who you are! lol)
• You're willing to barter goods and services "for just one more bow!" 
• You make installment payments to pay for your huge batch of Christmas Bows!
• You use your dog bows in your own hair (and your child's hair) 
• You have to seriously contemplate whether you want to buy groceries or more bows
• You lie to your significant other about how much you spend on bows
• You wake up at 3 am realizing you forgot to order bow ties
• You don't like grooming dogs that can't get bows. 

(PS- all of these are based on true events that happened to real groomers just struggling to keep their heads on straight)
