Hi everyone
All is well here. It’s Victoria Day Weekend and not only am I hoping for good sales in my little garden centre, but there are NINETEEN dogs boarding and a small cat. I’m just on my way out the door now to take care of the guests who are in the outdoor kennels and the indoor kennels in my grooming shop. All the pets seem quite content here… most have known us a long time.
Staying with us are: Clouseau, Ash, Nelson and Archer, Shiloh and Cleo, Beowulf and Chester, Taya, Marley and Sheila, Tia, Ty, Missy, Teddy, another Teddy, Pickles, Duke and Duchess, Bourbon, Clover and McKenna. Oh, okay… so I can’t count… that’s twenty two. McKenna is Shelly’s dog (so really, one of our own), and we have Lady and little Buddy. Our own four cats are very little trouble to us, and neither is the boarding cat, Heidi. This weekend, there are no birds, hamsters or lizards.
Gary has gone out to Alberta to shoe some Clydes at the home of a veterinarian friend. When I met those friends (the vet and his wife) I found that I had not only gone to the same high school as Mrs. vet friend, but that I had gone through high school with Dr. Vet Friend’s close friend… someone who had attended Vet school with him. THAT friend, Bob, had become a veterinarian and afterward became a preeminent specialist in human medicine. Anyway… after that long anecdote, I’m sure your eyes are glazing over, even if I made my point (did I HAVE one?).
Here’s a picture of some of the “girls” at our friend’s farm…
I’ll have to come back to this, if I’M lucky, because I do like to talk to you folks. Many of you have become friends through comments to my blog, or things said to me in chat, or even in “real life!”. I’ll try to have some pictures for you.
