Dames and Sires Beauty Spa is happy to announce the addition of a second groomer.

Samantha, the owner of Dames and Sires Beauty Spa, which is located at Tails to Remember Pet Services, is pleased to announce the addition of a second groomer, Michelle.  Combined, the two have over 26 years of grooming experience. In fact, Michelle was very instrumental in training Samantha when she first began grooming.

"With the addition of a second groomer, we will be able to bathe and groom an increased number of animals, while maintaining our relaxed, caring, safe and clean environment for your pet," says Samantha.

I have been very impressed with the work I have seen from both groomers.  It really is fun to watch them work together, they both really care for you and your pets.  They make sure your furbabies have an enjoyable time while visiting.  Many times you catch them playing fetch (with the dogs, not each other) and keeping your "kids" comfortable.

Samantha and Michelle will be answering grooming questions for you here on our blog.  If there are any particular questions you would like to ask, let us know here or send us an e-mail at info@tailstoremember.com.

Small Business is the Backbone of America

"Every major company was once a small business," according to to Aimee Groth and Kim Bhasin from the Business Insider. Consider the garage days for the founders of Microsoft and Apple.

"You need a lot of passion for what you're doing because it's so hard," Steve Jobs once said. "Without passion, any rational person would give up."

After all, bootstrapping a startup is one of the quintessential elements of the American dream.  A small business is defined broadly -- as a company with 500 or fewer employees.

Small Businesses contribute directly to their local area by providing jobs, taxes and reaching out and being active in the community.  In fact, most small business owners are active on park boards, church committees, fraternal organizations, Chamber of Commerce,  school boards, and many other charitable organizations.  Small Business owners are the face of their business and create a bond with their customers.
