I am so happy the rain held off today. It was an amazing event. My 5th year heading the swim. So many over 100 people, at least 80 dogs.
Thanks to all who donated baskets this year they were awesome. Each and every one.
I was pretty busy for individual pics so here's a list of people I'm so greatful to.
All the Belmont employees you all were awesome. Thanks Gary Montebell for helping me pull it together.
Jonica Sanders Schreiber for all the conversations over the last 6 months. Helping load, unload and load again.
Erika Taladay your the best on registration.
Vicki Boltz thanks for organizing the raffle part of the show.
Vicki Dingledine Mcgaughey and Linda D Davis for always supporting me.
Melissa D. Denardo and Rod for decorating and enjoying the day with me.
Kyle Hockenberry you always keep it upbeat and fun with your music.
Ron Ace, Highway Dogs were a hit.

I had my 60th inspection today. Proud to say I have passed every one. I've never had a fail or incident. I've just always been ready.
My oh my 30 years of doing what I love. How many can say that? This business has kept me going when I thought my life was over. Oh the life I've lived. Keeping this homestead has been everything to me.
Thank you!!! To every person who has trusted me to care for your pooches for 30 years. Hopefully I just keep going. Never once have I wished I could retire. How many can say they're living their dream.
So I'll work hard to do my other love. Traveling!! Tomorrow's another adventure. I am blessed to have a business partner in Jonica Sanders Schreiber and a phone call to Nolan Sanders and hear go mom we'll take care of the kennel. Knowing I can leave and enjoy my life thanks to them❤️
When I return all is well and I just go back to work and plan the next adventure 😉
