Fall Greetings
Nov 1, 2009
As we look toward the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday we should all reflect about what we
are truly grateful for. I have many things to be thankful for this year.
First, I am thankful for my family and friends who have stood by me and helped me thru the
past 6 months. It has been a challenge and a struggle but with your help I am back to work
with my dogs at a job I love.
I would like to thank the Doctors who helped me. They are all "true gentlemen" and were
honest and kind. Dr. Huneycutt who put me on the right path and helped me find my way.
Dr. Selznick and Dr. Davis who gave me a brand new hip. Dr. Rosin who kept me healthy
before, during and after the surgery. Special thanks to these Doctor's P.A.'s and nurses
who always answered all of my questions and had a sense of humor. We are all lucky to
have such good doctors close by.
To my wonderful home health nurse, Nicki, who not only attended to me physically but for
helping me heal my soul when she brought a Shih Tzu puppy to visit me. The smell of
puppy breath in the morning can make the whole day sweet!
To physical therapist Dan DesFosses and his caring staff who got me back in my boots and
on the trails again. It was a long road but I learned a lot about myself when I had to learn to
walk again.
Last, but not least, to all of my customers. All of your encouragement, well wishes and "hip
stories" before I closed the kennel helped me thru the surgery. All of your cards, e-mails,
calls with offers to help and visits helped me during the recovery. You helped keep my
spirits up and made me work hard so I could return to work. THANK YOU!!!
I hope all of you have good November and a wonderful Thanksgiving with the people, dogs
and cats that you love.
Tina

Christmas Greetings
December 24, 2009
Happy Holidays!
As I was walking the dogs early this morning the outside lights provided just enough light
that the reflection on the snow crystals looked like millions of diamonds. The sky was still
dark and there were stars over my head. It was a beautiful Christmas Eve morning.
I am so happy to be back to work! I have enjoyed seeing my customers and my dogs.
Once again, I would like to say thank you to everyone for helping me this year.
After the recent snow storm, about 10 days ago, I was able to put on my snow pants and
play in the snow with my niece again. We made a
snow cat and a snow girl.
And I am happy to report
that my new hip makes
pretty good snow angels!!
I wish you all a wonderful
Holiday with your family
and pets.
Merry Christmas!
Tina

Godt Nytar til alle! (Happy New Year to all!)
I had plans to put all of my Christmas decorations away today...that didn't happen.
I saw my niece at lunch time and I asked her, "what is the first rule of snow?"
"If it is yellow, don't eat it"
Then I asked her, "what is the second rule of snow?"
Excited, she said, "don't waste FRESH POWDER!"
If there is one thing I have learned this year it is to have fun wherever and whenever you can.
Today I played in the snow and made a snow dog.
Life is short...Don't waste "Fresh Powder."
Here's to a fun filled 2010!

Greetings and Happy Spring!
The tulips are starting to show in front of the kennel and the wild Canada Geese are looking for nests
so spring is right around the corner.
I am now taking boarding reservations for Spring Break and Easter. I am also taking grooming
appointments for small dogs for spring make-overs.
I recently received my new business cards. Join us on Facebook, click on the business card and tell
me if you like it.
Hope to see you soon,
Tina
