** NOTE: To anyone who lands on this blog entry that does not agree with creative grooming, I suggest that you move on and not even bother looking at this post. This creative competition is a one day competition that lasts for a few hours. The dogs are given a break during the grooming so that they do not have to stand on a grooming table for the entire time. The rules are strict and the colors used are pet safe. These dogs are very much loved by their owners (the groomers). They live like any other well loved dog. They run, they play, and they sleep most of the day away. AND they do not care if their hair is a different color. They DO love the attention they get from being colored.

There was a beautiful story behind this creative groom.
This groomer found this sweet dog in the dumpster behind her work place.
This sweet little dog was overgrown and matted and had been thrown away.
This groomer saved her and groomed her for this competition to look like a Queen that she deserves to be. :-)
