About Connie: I moved to Indiantown in 1971 to live with my sister Ann and brother-in-law Stafford I was 14 at the time. Stafford was part of the Indiantown Ranglers a country band and I sang with the band. I fell in love with Indiantown and later married and made it my home town. I have 4 grown children and I have a wonderful husband: Thomas. I am the praise leader at "Spirit of Grace Ministries
" in Indiantown where I have been attending for over 16 years. I have been a groomer for over 24 years, I started out in West Palm Beach in 1989, my niece Tonya and my sister Gayle and I owned Pampered Paws and Purrs on Okeechobee Blvd. We had a very busy grooming shop doing 25 to 35 dogs daily. When I married Thomas in 2000 I moved back to Indiantown and we to work at Clip 'n' Dip in Juno Beach and I work there now 4 days out of the week. I am an accomplished groomer able to groom all breeds, from fully hand scissored poodles and bichons to your basic shave downs. I use only the best shampoo's and conditioners and I pride myself in doing an outstanding bath and blow dry for each pet that comes through my shop. I opened Connie's Little Grooming Shop in 2003. We had a little shed in our back yard and Thomas converted it to a fully equipped grooming shop. He framed it up, replaced the roof, tiled the floor and installed a full sized tub, raised up to the perfect height and enclosed the tub in tile. He put lights over the tube and added 3 lights above the work area. I have 2 grooming tables and enough cages to hold up to 15 dogs. It is small but I have everything I need to groom and keep the dogs comfortable till they are picked up. I have AC and heat in the winter. I have made some wonderful and loyal friends through this business. I have grown close to the dogs that come to my shop and love grooming them. I can think of no other job I would rather be doing, seeing the dogs come through my shop and going home transformed into beautiful puppies after their grooms blesses me immensely.
