Signs you might have been grooming dogs too long.
1. You can spot a matt before the dog gets out of the car.
2. You judge strangers in public by the condition of their dog's toenails.
3. You hear somebody say their dog doesn't bite and immediately start looking for an exit.
4. You've accidentally told a grown adult to drop it, and were shocked when they actually did it.
5. You can identify a dog by the sound of its toenails coming down our long driveway
6. You don't even notice the dog hair in your food anymore. That's just extra fiber.
7. You can tell the difference between a nervous fart and a fart that's about to become everybody's problem.
8. You haven't trusted the words "He's never done that before" in at least 15 years.
9. You can wrestle a 50 kilogram dog into a bathtub but throw your back out putting on your socks.
10. You'd rather groom 10 dogs with bad attitudes than deal with one owner who thinks they know how to do your job because they watched a TikTok video.
