Groom’d Atlanta 2026… what a ride. 🐾✨
Loaded up with my people—Stevie Jo Elliott and Wanda Giese (our real MVP for driving while I lived my best passenger princess life 👑)—and headed to Atlanta with Quigley, Remi, Charley… and came home with baby Scarlett. 💚
I’m beyond proud to say Quigley and I took 🥉 in Freestyle. My bestest boy showed up for me in every way. Huge, heartfelt thank you to Gary and Paula for trusting me with him—there truly aren’t words big enough for how grateful I am.
Remi and I didn’t place in Poodle, but honestly? The growth was everything. Her coat is no joke, and I pushed myself in ways I’m so proud of. I’m walking away feeling inspired, more confident, and ready for the next one.
A massive thank you to the Iv San Bernard team for the support, knowledge, and encouragement—Suzanne Marchetti, Heather Hudson, Kayla Croteau, and Sommer Ferguson… you guys are truly the best. The connections we’re building mean so much to me.
And I could not be more proud of Stevie Jo—she absolutely cleaned house in Poodle:
✨ Best First Timer
✨ 2nd in Entry
✨ Best in Show First Timer
Her and Charley are such an incredible team, and watching her shine was one of my favorite parts of this whole trip.
So grateful, so inspired, and already dreaming about the next competition. 💭✂️
Here’s to the next adventure. 🐾💚
