To members of a highly specialized and widely misunderstood profession like pet grooming, such a forum seems made to order. Tiverton, RI groomer Susan Viveiros , owner of Grooming by Susan , is a regular in the Dog Groom Room, enjoying the camaraderie and joining the discussions on problems and products. Like many online groomers, she is a novice, using her first computer and learning her way as she ventures forth onto the Internet. I'm surprised there aren't more of us there. Surprisingly, many visitors to Dog Groom Room are not fully computerized in their shops.
Some chatters are more at home with the technology.
With a new shop under construction, she plans to be fully computerized when it opens this summer. Sue Oneppo is enthusiastic about communicating via computer. From her favorite message boards, Sue can download information about Setters ,she breeds Gordons, and recipes. Of course, groomer talk in cyberspace is by no means limited to AOL's Dog Groom Room. Using the Internet, groomers who subscribe to services such as Prodigy, Compuserve and other carriers can communicate through e-mail.
