Today I took a stroll through the shop and sat down for a chat with Sandy, whom in the photo on the left is shaving a Yorkie mix named Maggie. Sandy has worked at Glamour Paws for almost five years now, and she’s been a part of the family for longer than that. Her sister Daisy has been a part of Glamour Paws for 13 years now, and Sandy would drop by the shop to fill in bathing vacancies, which eventually turned into full-time employment as a bather. Sandy is a rising star at the shop, quickly becoming the bath manager and also helping with Charlene’s mobile grooming service, C. R. Paws. About two years ago she became a groomer.
Asked about her favorite cuts, she enjoys doing what is called the ‘Lamb Cut’, which is essentially short hair on the dog’s body and long hair on the dog’s legs. Guests request this cut on breeds ranging from Doodles, to Yorkies, to Schnauzers. In general, Sandy also loves working with Golden Retrievers.
Speaking of Yorkies, this was my favorite thing I learned from the conversation: A while ago a customer did not want their Yorkipoo, Sophia, that they had brought into the shop, and Sandy adopted her on the spot. I have met Sophia, and I will say she is hard not to immediately love, but I think Sandy is extra special for displaying this amount of care!
