Artist Premium Grooming

I needed to buy a few things for my shop so I jumped on the bus and headed for the hardware store. I had made a list of the things I needed to purchase, but forgot to get it off of my desk. By this time it was to late to turn back .So I tried to remember as much as possible so that the trip wouldn’t be a waste. Immediately upon stepping into the hardware store I forgot everything I was suppose to purchase and wound up walking around the store for 30 minutes. At this point security started to follow me around. I guess it was the fact that I had on a back Pack while pushing an empty basket.

Then It came to me. “Plumbing” I needed parts for plumbing.. The exact parts I had know Idea which was which,. Eventually I got some assistance and went on my way. Right when I thought I had every thing that I needed. I saw A Giant Super pack of toilet paper for $12. So I placed it in my cart and started to walk towards the check out. Right before I got to the check out I saw a Super Pack of Energy star light bulbs. A super pack for a great price $8. Again placing them in my cart and moving towards the check out. Within a couple steps from the clerk I happened to glance to my left and out of the corner of my eye I saw a Giant Mop. I thought “A mop is just what I need. So I go to look at the mop and notice that it was a good price $15. Know I have every thing I need ( At least I think I do) and I’m ready to go back to my shop.

I pay for all of my items grab my bag of plumbing parts my light bulbs, my super pack of toilet paper and my Giant mop. Struggling to hold the bags , mop and giant rolls of paper. I slowly make my way across the parking lot. Stopping every ten steps to adjust my grip on my items. While trying to cross the street in time to catch the bus. I got left… Its cool I caught the next bus. I started to laugh at my self because I was the only person with a Giant mop and Super Sized bag of toilet paper.LOL!

There’s no better time than the present. I had just received my new flyer’s for my shop and i couldn’t wait to start handing them out. So I grabbed a stack of 500, loaded them into my Animal Planet backpack, put on my shoe and sweater. Then I headed out to pound the pavement. I put a flyer on every car, truck, bike, and bus I saw. Then I walked into every apartment building and condo complex I encountered along the way. It felt good to be out in the night air with a bag full of flyer’s and my mind full of creative thoughts. With every one I handed out I felt as though I had taken a progressive step. With each progression I became closer accomplishing my goal. My goal of creating a major buzz in the surroundingneighborhoods. A buzz about “Artist’s Pet Salon” and the excellent services that will be offered. So I walked and walked then walked some more. Until all 500 of my flyer’s were gone. The first thing I thought was.. I should of brought 1000. Oh well there’s always tomorrow.

Peace&Blessings; Artist.

Oopps! I guess Johnathan’s not the only one who runs into trees. I was in LA trying to find a parking space so I could start grooming. After driving around for a few minutes i spotted the perfect space. So I attempted to make a uturn (nearly impossiable) and came up short. I put my truck in reverse in order to clear a couple feet and out of the blue I heard a loud WHAAMMM! First thought that came to mind was “oh my goodness I just killed some one”. I jumped out of the truck to see if anyone was smashed underneath the rear tires and thank GOD they wern’t. All I saw was a 80ft tall palm tree looking down on me and it said “CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE YOUR TRUCK OFF MY FEET”  I felt horrible & I just wanted to go home crawl under my bed and hide. I guess this was just one of those days we all tend to have every now and then. I’m sure tomorrow will be much better.

P.S.

WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!!!

AAAHHHHHH!!! The sweet smell of success. It smells so good I can almost taste it. If the dogs could only see me know.(wait they see me every day), oh yeah My apologies to the dalmatian on the show. “A groomer’s gotta do what a groomer’s gotta do” I’m sure he understands. Besides the saying goes ” Hear no evil See no evil, Speak no evil”, Nothing was ever mentioned about no smelling the back side of our four legged friends in order to win a challenge.(hahahahahahahah). Any whoo, the truck and I are getting along just fine lots of customers, lots of fun. I have yet to meet a dog or cat that doesn’tlike the grooming truck or the mobile experience altogether. They receive a totally different experience as opposed to a shop. Not that shops are bad (God Bless E’m) Its just a unique situation that all of my furries enjoy. Yes I said “MY FURRIES”!!! And when I groom your poochie then they’ll become my official FURRIE also. Its all relative in the cosmic land of Artist Knox. On my planet there are no strangers. So if you see me groomin on your block, in your hood, or in your gated community, stop by my space ship and give me a galactic what’s upper! Till then I’ll see you all were the rubber meets the road.

My trip to La canada proved to be a major delight. The drive alone was refreshing, a break from the hustle and fast paste of  Los Angles “I love Los Angles”. La canada is a beautiful town just a few miles west of Altadena, nestled in the mountians right off the 2 or 210 freeway. La canada is a quite serene’ family community, who’s clean streets and polite people made me feel every bit at ease. After driving through the community, taking in all they aesthetics, i arrived at the “Lerner” residence. (Arent they beautiful)! I got a the opportunity to meet Lillie the “maltipoo”, who made it very clear that she was special and everyone ought to know. Lillie and I got along great. After all she’s a puppy and puppies want you to know, that they know, there special! After lillies beauty regiment was complete. I ment the whole Lerner family, Mr & Mrs. Lerner and the pretty Lerner girls. What a wonderful and hospitable family. I think I’ve got some of the sweetest costumers a groomer could ask for. To all of my current and future clients, This ones for yooouuuu!!!!!

PEACE&BLESSINGS; Artist Knox.
