Luxury Mobile Pet Grooming...
For Very Spoiled Pets!
Say "hello" to Pam Julian
Meet Pam, the cheery gal that drives the Bubble Mobile. She's a career groomer. What does that mean? Well, she's been grooming pets since she was in High School...taking her first grooming instruction from neighbors that had show Poodles. She'd help out in the summer and after school (1966) and from there things just kept going.
In 1977 she got back into the swing of grooming as a stay at home mom with 4 children and was a 4-H Leader in Skagit County's Dog and Cat Projects. At the same time she was a mover and a shaker with the local AKC all breed dog club, the Bell-Vernon Kennel Assn. as an elected officer and event planner for the twice yearly dog shows and fun matches held by the club, and contact rep. for the AKC Education Program for Children. She actively did Obedience training with her Standard Poodle "Ghost" and together they obtained both his AKC & CKC Companion Dog titles.
By 1988 she had a thriving grooming business and was a member of the South Puget Sound Groomers Assn. She also had her first Grooming Competition wins, taking a first Place with a Poodle and tied for First with a Cocker. For the next 14 years she competed and usually placed in local grooming competitions.
In 2001 she competed in a "Before and After " photo contest and won 1st Place with her Scissored dog and 2nd Place with her Shaved dog!
In 1993 she became interested in the show world of purebred cats and over the next 14 years competed in several associations, and won Regional and National awards with her Ocicats...the cattery is now retired, but 3 very special Ocicats are still in-house, on the bed or where ever they want to be!
