❤️ The End of One Chapter… The Beginning of Another. ❤️

The first photo was taken on December 17, 2018—the day the City finally approved Fido’s Place. 🥳 I remember holding that sign with so much excitement, dreaming about what this little idea could become.

The second photo was taken Thursday. The building was empty. Every kennel, toy, grooming table, sign, and memory had found a new home. The keys were handed back, and after nearly seven incredible years, Fido’s Place officially came to a close. 🐾❤️

What an incredible journey it has been.

To every client who trusted me with your dogs, every wagging tail that came through our doors, every amazing employee, volunteer, friend, rescue, and supporter—thank you. You helped turn a dream into something far greater than I ever imagined. The friendships, laughter, lessons, and memories will stay with me forever.

The third photo was taken yesterday after my knee surgery. 🩼❤️ It’s a reminder that while one chapter has ended, another is just beginning. After a little healing and rehabilitation, I’m looking forward to enjoying retirement, spending time with family and friends, and finally taking our camper out for our first camping trip of the summer. 🏕️☀️

Life has a wonderful way of closing one door while opening another.

Thank you, Weyburn, for embracing Fido’s Place and for allowing me to be a part of your lives—and your dogs’ lives—for the past seven years. It has truly been an honour. ❤️🐶

Here’s to healing, new adventures, and whatever comes next. 🥂

With heartfelt gratitude,
CindyAnn ❤️

🐾✂️Did you know that enrichment and comfort items can play an important role in the well-being of shelter animals? 🧶🐶🐱

Many animal rescues and shelters rely on community support for items like:
🐾 DIY toys to encourage play, exercise, and mental stimulation
🐾 Blankets and comfort items to provide warmth and a sense of security
🐾 Bandanas and handmade accessories to help pets feel special while they wait for their forever homes

Crafting for your local shelter is a simple way to support animal welfare while helping reduce stress and improve the daily lives of animals in care.

Before starting your project, check with your local rescue or shelter to find out which items they accept and what materials are safe for their animals.

A little creativity can make a big difference for pets in need! ❤️🐾
