This is kind of a long video and I apologize for that! It is an infomercial explaining my boarding policies. My daycare attendees already know this information. I’m doing this for the benefit of the calls that are going to increase now that we are on Labor Day weekend for boarding dogs during the fall winter and spring. I am explaining why I no longer offer boarding to Dogs that are not actively in my daycare program.
Anyone who runs a boarding kennel in Maine (or anywhere for that matter) gets pummeled with calls for boarding during this time of year because of the increased needs for Dogs to be boarded for everything from hunting trips to snowmobile trips to the holidays to spring break, etc. It’s a “make hay while the sun shines“ time of year in dog care…and from 2002 until just before Covid really geared up I welcomed those calls just like any other boarding kennel owner. But now I have chosen a different way to run my business.
So this infomercial simply explains decisions I made years ago and that I am still comfortable with today.

Why yes…we did have another fun day! Oakley was back from being absent for a week (after getting a snout full of water “bobbing for balls” 🤦🏼‍♀️) Oscar came for a visit as did Millie and Milo 🥰(it means SO much to me that both of those families trek all the way from Waterville to attend my daycare!) and I survived running around like a loon keeping up with the whole crew…so thankful they are all in my world!❤️

Another wonderful day🤗
I am just going to list some of the high points…
First…today was Blü’s 2nd Birthday! And what fun she and I had trying to get the “Birthday hat torture picture” 🤣I am posting the top 3 choices… the first one has had me thinking all evening about the song lyrics “you should of put a ring on it”😅
Next…little baby Rigel now owns all of the DC yards…posted a video earlier today…puppies bring SO much with them🥰
Also Spencer seems to be doing ok with his recovery from”tweaking” his back. He was absent here for a whole month and seriously missed!! I was super nervous to have him return yesterday but we are taking baby steps with him and he seemed even better today🙏
And finally a personal FRUSTRATION with FB was solved tonight with Missy’s help… the page is finally updated to say “daycare is offered Monday through Friday” granted it is not until Friday, September 25, but I AM going back to offering Fridays from that point forward🙌
So all in all, it was a very good day!🤗

Today was quite simply….AWESOME.
Early fall is my favorite time of year! I got to work with a new puppy today!!❤️ His name is Rigel… and now I need to educate you all because I found it to be fascinating. Rigel is the name of the brilliant blue, super giant star, in the constellation Orion. Most specifically, Rigel is the brightest star in the hunters left foot. Rigel‘s parents named him so because of his brilliant blue eyes when they first acquired him. He is a rescue puppy from a litter of pitbull/husky. I loved him from the minute I met him a few weeks ago and it was so much fun to watch him have his first day here. Granted his eyes are not the brilliant shade of blue that they were anymore because of course they are changing as he matures, but he is still a strikingly good looking little guy. Nana Natty officiated over Willow showing him how to play “Willow style“ she also taught him how to go up the stairs and subsequently down the stairs. He’s such a well behaved little guy that he actually made it outside into the first catch yard on his very first day❤️ we also got to welcome Spencer back. He has been recuperating from tweaking his back and has actually been gone for a month… and today was the first day back for Lucy the Bernese. She got into an up close in personal encounter with a porcupine over a week ago, ended up at the ER in Holden and then she stayed home out of an abundance of caution in case she crossed paths with any respiratory illness or any other gnarly contagious thing while spending her quality time at the emergency facility. So all in all it was a really awesome day and welcome to the family Rigel!!🥰
