A Dashie Discovery

Ex hairdresser Leslie Winters moves back home to Pecan, Texas after her good-for-nothing-high-school-sweetheart, and now ex-husband, left her for one of her clients.

Now sheโ€™s taken up grooming pets, since she thought theyโ€™d be easier to deal with than gossiping locals.

Living with her parents and working out of her dadโ€™s old shed isnโ€™t ideal, but as daddy always says, you gotta start somewhere.

While taking a pair of Pomeranians home, sheโ€™s shocked to find their owner, Mr. Williams, in his hot tub wearing nothing but a tiny swimsuit, his Stetson, and a bullet to the head!
