Exceptional customer service

Based on "How to win friends and influence people", my goals are to build  long time relationships threw communication and customer service. Everyday is a new day to meet client/ customer needs and make new friends.

Business owner/operator

In 1986 I opened my own pet grooming salon in Pottsboro Tex. Pottsboro was a small up and coming town close to lake Texoma. Many locals and tourists became loyal regular clients. All breeds, large and small were welcome, no one was turned away. My business flourished, in 1991 we, my husband, and I  decided to move our family to Abilene Texas. After our move I decided to continue grooming for a veterinarian in Sweetwater Texas. As a contractor, I managed his small grooming salon. While there I trained Three ladies in the art of pet grooming. They all went on to start businesses of their own. One lady a close friend, still grooms in the sweetwater area. in  2003 I expanded my interests and went to work in Abilene as a vet tech. Expanding my animal knowledge and pursuing my passion for pet rescue.
