MAGGIE's PERSONAL PAGE

Who Am I? Hi, as you can see... I'm Maggie... Margaret A. M. Vaillancourt.. most of you know me as Maggie Vail. I am female of course. I am 5' and 5.5 inches in height and very heavy. I am a brunette with red highlights and some grey now too... my hair is short on the sides and back (so short you can not grab it at all) and is about 6 inches long on the top...(but does not reach my ears). My eyes are Hazel in colour and change a lot depending on what I am wearing. I am Roman Catholic and very active in my church, have graduated from grade 12 and taken a course in Professional Dog Grooming and Standard Bred Horse Grooming.

Where do I live?

I live in the Milky Way Galaxy on the third rock from the Sun.. Planet Earth it is called. I live in a Country called Canada in the Province of Ontario. In what is called the Banana Belt of Canada.. near Canada's most southern tip.... in the County of Essex... I reside in the city of LaSalle

In LaSalle I am almost surrounded by water as I am situated between Lake Erie to my south and Lake Huron to my North with the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair in between them and to my west.

The weather here varies.. and we get 4 seasons.... Spring is wet and cool becoming hot in late May. Our summers run temperatures up to 105 degrees F with a very high humidity. Fall is cool and sometimes damp with a nice Indian Summer in late October and early Nov. Although our winters are cold and snowy.. we do not often get a White Christmas.

What do I do?

I am a Dog Groomer... I give hair cuts to dogs and cats. I really enjoyed working with the animals .. and everyday is different.. and always there is a surprise... in either the type of dog or cat I am doing.. in the type of haircut I have to give them.. in how they acte while getting a haircut... or what ever.. something always surprises me.

I groom from 5 up to as many as 7 a day ... depending of course on size and what is to be done on the animals... On the average a cat will take 1 to 1 and a quarter hours to do, that includes a haircut or brush out.. bath, drying and finishing the cat. On the average a small dog like a poodle, a yorkshire terrier, or a shihtzu will take 1 to 1 and a quarter hours to do, a medium size dog as in a cocker spanial or schnauzer will take about 1 to 1 and a half hours .. with larger dogs as in golden reteirvers, bouviea, old english sheepdogs will take any where from 2 to 3 hours to do. So you can see if I have all small dogs and cats.. I can do more than if I have a larger dog.

This is my beloved Oselle (Madam Oselle Poo Dell)(White) and Billy Boy (Mr Billy Brown Coat) (brown) Oselle passed away on Sept. 16th 1996. She is missed so much. She gave me 18.5 years of love... Billy Boy passed away Feb. 1993, he was 12 years old. He too is missed. The gray thing was Oselle's favorite toy.. a gray elephant... you can just make out the tusk.
