Here is the outside of the shop.

This is the reception desk at Yankee Clipper Pet Grooming in Rockport, Maine

The retail area of Yankee clipper.

This is a shot of the finish grooming area.

Pull up a chair and sit a spell....

The drying area.

Sometimes I groom a non traditional pet...

This is part of the bathing/preparation area.

Tiger Lilly our BAD BAD Boxer and Poppy the perfect Pug hold down the sofa.

Or in our cozy family room, dubbed "the snuggery."

I love to hang out on the porch, too...

Here is a peek at the dining room.

I love to kayak... it is the most peaceful way to spend time that I know.

Our daughter, Rachel, on the right. She was a Rotary Youth Exchange student, spending her senior year of high school in India.

This is best friend and husband, Chris. I am a lucky woman!

My sister Deb, me and sister Donna. I have an adorable big brother, but need to find a photo!

If we like you, we cook you lobster!

A very matted Labradoodle. The sort that normally takes hours to strip.

Peeling the pelt with the German Red Clipper.

I have not had a dog that was pelted like this in a very long time.

I could make a stole out of this? Oh! So attractive!

Wilson, shorn for the summer. Total shave time, 45 min!

This would have taken much longer with a standard clipper. WHAT a good dog!

A big, fuzzy Irish Terrier. Needing to be handstripped!

2 hours later... voila! From Shrubbish to Stylish!

Mini poodle, first professional groom. VERY WIGGLY!

Finished... despite Tasmanian Devil behavior!

Dazzle... using very safe vegetable dye, we colored her purple for the 2007 Best of the Best gala. She loved the attention!

Space aliens land in my garden! No, really, this is my new puppy "Smooch".

Rachel, now a student at UMaine, with Lilly, (10.)

Who says the locals aren't friendly?
