Hit 200 dogs groomed this month and my back wants a vacation
I've been running my own grooming shop for about 4 years now, and this month I finally hit 200 dogs. That's a personal best for me. I didn't realize I was getting close until I checked my book this morning while hiding in the bathroom. It's not just a number thing, it's about realizing how much faster I've gotten without cutting corners. I used to struggle with 30 dogs a week, now I'm doing 50 with less stress. But my lower back is definitely reminding me I'm not 25 anymore. Has anyone else hit a milestone at work that snuck up on you?

Oh wow, that's a huge milestone! Congrats on hitting 200. That's a ton of dogs. My friend who runs a cat rescue had a similar thing happen last year. She was just going about her day, cleaning cages and feeding everyone, and then she realized she'd taken in over 150 cats that year without even trying. It just snuck up on her. Her back was definitely feeling it too, I think she lives on ibuprofen now. How do you keep your energy up with a schedule like that?
