Mingo's portrait

Mingo's portrait is done. It's from her x-mas pic 2 years ago..

How beautiful!!!!. my friend had one done of her 4 horses once and its perfect..... wish I had the money to have one... they are so expensive here

awwwwwwwwww gorgous

oh wow i want one...... it looks great. as sharreem said they are expensivce here.

It was 1200.00 so, not too cheap here either. Economy is really bad here and i realy should not have had it done now. But, if I put it off I'm sure I never would have it done.
Just found out hubby will be out of work in two weeks, just no new houses to be built! bad time for me to spend money, but I sure did not know that would happen!

That suck Lorie... hope you will be ok with hubby loosing job. Yeah money is tight everywhere at the moment... cant wait for our little governments cash handouts that are coming... Had to pay for daughters dental bill the other day $2000...not fun!!! and u dont get any of it back on medicare :-(

OUCH!

awwww lorie that isnt good ..... my step dad has had no work since 16 dec.. no cables to fix in houses anymore. Hope it all get sorted out for you.....

Glad i can do dog grooming.. at least until dogs become to expensive for people to keep.

I think the grooming may help save us, getting new clients all the time. I told Michael he will have to pick up the slack around the house so I can stay well and rested to work all day and evening! No more dishes for me!

yay for no more dishes...... yeh grooming is pretty good. hope you get through the tough situation.

Beth , how long have you been dog grooming? I don't like to think people will give up their pets...but, here, people are losing their homes left and right and they have no choice..

i have been doing it un-professionally(sp) sice i was 14 with my pets and friends dogs...

professionally since October last year but business has only picked up since mid december last year.


it would be so hard i dont know what i would do if i had to give any of my pets up...... from what i have seen on the news you guys in the US are haveing a pretty tough time......

Beth, actually, I have a friend who lives in SA and she is a groomer. I got to meet her last Sept. when she came over to a Groom Expo!
She has a forum for Australian groomers now!
This woman is an incredable groomer. here is her site if you would like to visit.
