Today was a day I’ll never forget. ❤️
Most of my clients know Skittle as my boy, but very few have ever met him. Groomers know I have three poodles, but they’ve only ever seen two because Skittle has never been confident with being groomed so he always stays at home.
When the opportunity came up to learn breed standard Poodle grooming from Blake Hernandez, I couldn’t say no. Asian Fusion has been my comfort zone, so stepping into the world of breed standard was completely new to me. I took Skittle with me all the way to Falkirk, Scotland hoping we’d both learn something.
Today we both stepped outside our comfort zones. Skittle stood confidently in a completely new environment, surrounded by unfamiliar people and dogs, and trusted me every step of the way. I challenged myself with a style that’s completely different to what I’m used to, and we both came away with so much more confidence and knowledge.
Skittle is my soul dog, and today meant so much to me to have him by my side. He showed me he’s ready. For the first time, I can honestly say we’ll be stepping into the competition ring together. ❤️
