Things are finally slowing down at the kennel. It's both a relief and a shame. We had an outstanding run these last two weeks or so. We had many dogs, many customers and whew!!! Our part time help, bless her little soul, worked 45 hours last week. She's on vacation this week, it probably came at a good time for her. She doesn't complain at all and works hard but I could tell she was looking for a break. She'll be back on he 17th and she won't have that many hours until the next holiday (Labor Day?).
Carolyn and the girls are down from NY and it's nice to see them all. It's too bad they don't live closer. I know that Dolly would like to see them more often. At least they stay for several weeks at a time.
Dollys' sooo happy with her palm trees (pic last post). I can't wait until they grow a bit. Oh and we're getting an awning for the front of the kennel so it doesn't look so institutional. Pics when that occurs. later then...................

July 4th Weekend
Well it's been almost 8 weeks since I quit smoking and except for one slip I've been doing good. I really was beginning to think I would never quit. Looks like I actually did it. Congrats to me. It feels good. I haven't put on too much weight, a few pounds at most. The kennel is doing awesomely well. We have 43! dogs in there for the holiday! That's a lot of feeding and walking. It's paying off though, We're doing much better than I had ever imagined. We have had the fence guys out to measure and price the other side of the kennel. We will ultimately have an additional 16 runs. That will give us the grand total of 34 runs. Thats almost doubling our capacity. Better start thinking about an additional employmee or so. The pace is brutal but it comes in spurts aroung the holiday. Gotta run, dogs to walk!! A pic of Dollys new palm trees....
