Recommended Posts

Learnt the hard way acquired a Saint. My Grandmother passed on and left me a bit of money with a wish that it was used for something useful. So I bought a plastic handi bath :rofl: finished off restoring my old ute and went on the road N.E. Victoria washing and grooming. Then started clipping using manehogging shears to get dogs out of trouble.Bought new dryer liberty ultra force took less space than the 40 or so towells I had to carry. Then aquired a set of Oster A5 clippers. At that stage there was only one other Mobile service between Melb and Syd and he was in Albury and operated from a combi van. We both worked hard but the benefits were there. I also started to carry pet supplies with me that led to me opening a shop (disaster struck) three weeks after the shop opened Win TV,programe called Money,by Paul Clitherow came on and said good way to earn $10 is wash dogs Mobile. Well takings all of a sudden dropped to $50/$150 per week. 18 mobile units now on the scene between Benalla and Holbrook. With the dogwashing to support the shop gone I went out the back door fast. When we finally moved to Portland in 1999 my son went and bought another saint after I had sold all of my equipment. After a bad experience in bathing him at a local boarding kennel new gear was ordered that night and here I am again.
