Billie Sue Zeman was a veterinarian technician who came back to her hometown of Ely, Nevada in 1995. She went to work for a veterinarian and took on a second job as a dog groomer for a local feed store. After having her first child, she decided to leave the tech industry and pursue grooming full time. She enjoyed it so much in November 2000 she decided to venture out on her own. After three years of running her business out of a building so small she barely had room for a bathing tub and kennels to dry the animals in, she located an older house that was converted to commercial property right on the main street of Ely.
