Heidi's first started in 1980, obviously by someone named Heidi. I will not
give her last name to protect her privacy. It was purchased by my parents in
about 1983 and they ran it untill 1991. At that time they wanted to retire
and were looking to sell the business. By coincidence at the same time I had
just been honorably discharged from the army and returned from Operation
Desert Storm. I realized that there wasn't much of a job opportunity for a
Bradley fighting vehicle mechanic in the civilian world so since I grew up
in the business and had been grooming in my moms shop as a kid for as long
as I can remember, I decide to buy it. I have been grooming since.
Originally my intention was to groom dogs while going to college. I
graduated and got a degree in the tech industry. I had a collateral secret
security clearance from when I was in the military and a job offer at the
naval shipyard in Long Beach. I enjoyed grooming so much I decided to turn
down the job. I am grooming dogs because I want to, not because I have to.
Looking back I'm glad with the decision I made. |
