When Dave and I started showing she groomed our wheaten, Brachen, to his Championship. She was always kind to us, a good friend, and great groomer.

We'll miss you, Debbie. So many good memories from dog shows with you. From rushing in last minute & rolling up ringside to helping everyone groom their Scotties at the show.
