🐩✂️ SUPERZOO UPDATE: We may need an extra suitcase. 🤦🏼♀️😂
Okay… NOW I understand why groomers get so excited about this place.
We walked what felt like approximately 72 miles 😂, saw some absolutely INCREDIBLE dogs, watched some seriously talented people doing what they do best, and had a few “OMG, I know who that is!” moments along the way. 🥰
We got to see Brodie the Dood, spotted some AMAZING creative grooming in real life, and I got to see Juan & Kat from Another Groomer Podcast — which was pretty darn cool for this little Indiana groomer. 🥹✂️🐾
And then there’s the trade-show experience itself…
Samples? Yes.
Freebies? LOTS.
New products to try at Classy Tails? Absolutely.
A few completely necessary professional purchases? Obviously. 😇😂
Enough dog toys and goodies to make the dogs at home suspicious about what we’ve been doing without them? Probably.
And apparently when someone at a pet-industry trade show hands you a cookie and says it’s edible…
YOU EAT THE DOG COOKIE. 🤷🏼♀️😂
Wyatt and I can officially confirm: some dog treats are surprisingly not terrible. 😂🐶
But underneath all the fun, this has been such a cool experience. After all these years of grooming, getting to come here, learn new things, see what’s changing in our industry, discover new products and be surrounded by thousands of people who are just as ridiculously obsessed with dogs as I am has been pretty amazing. ❤️
I’m definitely coming home with new knowledge, new ideas, new products to play with and a renewed excitement for what I do.
Classy Tails is going to have some FUN when I get back. 😏✂️🐾
Now somebody please explain how all of this is fitting in our luggage. 😳🧳😂
