How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggily tail… How much is that doggy in the window? I do hope that doggy’s for sale.
n this case, the doggy in the window at 315 South Washington Street, is not for sale. That doggy is waiting for their human to come pick them up after a relaxing day at the new Paw Spa in Old Town Alexandria. You might even spot two or three dogs waiting to go home, but they don’t seem to be in any hurry to leave until, of course, their human is seen approaching the window. Gabriella (Gabby) Brown was working full time as an accountant for a construction company and with her husband had established a good life in Alexandria. As can happen sometimes, in the corporate world you begin to lose sight of what really makes you tick, so Gabby began to take stock of her situation. Her three dogs at home - Georgia, Mason and Marble – were at the top of the list of things that made her tick. With no real hobbies, she started to work part-time as a dog groomer. As time passed she realized how much she loved the working with all the dogs and eventually decided to start her own business. BUSINESS PROFILE > PAGE 5
