Several weeks ago, I reviewed the reality series on Animal Planet called Groomer Has It. I had only chanced across the show because it didn’t get the big-money publicity that many other shows get, but was hooked with the very first episode.
My two favorite groomers were Will, who was voted out about mid-season and Artist. Artist is a sincere young man with a huge heart. As the challenges ticked by, I came to want him to win even more. The kindness he showed in the rescue challenge was so touching, it brought tears to my eyes. He took on the most needy dog, even though it would make his staying in the competition seem impossible, just because the dog needed him. And he had been ready to leave because of it until the host Jai Rodriguez told him that no one would be eliminated that week.
He showed his willingness to learn, his kindness and his talent through all the season’s challenges and emerged the winner. His prize was $50,000 and a mobile grooming van. When he won, he fell to his knees, cried and kissed his young son. I found myself crying with joy too. I’m so happy that Artist was the winner and now has the title of Groomer of the Year. Now I can’t wait for season 2!
Congratulations, Artist!!
I am wondering where artist is today and how hs his grooming bussiness done in this economy
SUE:
Artist has his own show on Animal Planet network where we get to see him building his business. He is just so down-to-earth and real. If you loved him on Groomer Has It, you’ll love him even more when you watch his series called Beverly Hills Groomer.
