2011

Saturday 2/12/11 time 10:15 PM

Hi all

Hope 2011 is going well for you!!!! Its ok for me. I began the year with Winston and Hugo and Clyde. Such fun! Since then I haven't had much. I am heading off to more dog related schooling for a few months. I am gonna be way smarter...hopefully LOL. 

Its been tough having to say goodbye to longtime clients, who are moving away. Some I dearly loved. I have been doing more training though which is nice but I really want to do more photos! 

Keep me in mind for all your pet needs

Its been a crazy summer!!! Lots of business and fun. 

This week, we will have Buddy return again! The boys are excited. In August I will be going on some trips so Aug 15, 16, 22-26 are probably not gonna work unless you are ok with my folks taking over. We hope to have new business in August too, we are suppose to meet them soon! JD and fam will be joining us for a short cabin trip too in a few weeks and I will get to see my buds Chiana and Nico. YES! I have missed them!!!

 

Remember for a limited time, I am doing near nothing photo shoots for holiday photos! If you live closer to st cloud, my aunt does them too but for a fee. 

Let the fun continue....

Summer is heating up!

Recent fun

Thursday 6/18/09 time 9:23 PM

We had JD, Kaluah, Bailey and Buddy here, all since the last post. They are regulars. They had tons of fun and luckily got some nice weather. Took lots of pictures like usual, we played, went on walks, had some nice snacks and more. 

We even saw Shandi one day! She hasn't been here in so long, she was having a grand old time splashing in the pool! These dogs love it here, and I am sure yours will too.  

Summer almost here

Sunday 5/31/09 time 3:39 PM - Me

With summer nearly here, many people will be heading to cabins and vacations. Consider my pet sit services if you do. In my home, we have a large fenced yard. Constant attention from people who live here and resident dogs to play with. Lots of toys, treats and fun. Close to a dog park as well. Your dog will love being in this place while you are away. Email me to set up a visit to check it out.
