Busy Week....

Said goodbye to our friends Lizzy and Stewart for a few days. Haley, Teddy and Buddy are all doing great:) Rusty arrives today for private boarding and we are excited about having him as a house guest. Jack comes for dayboarding on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week and Teddy will be spending next weekend with us. Tarkon will be our last client before our vacation.

Reminder: We will be gone until June 24th. We do still have some private boarding space in July and August but it is filling up rather quickly so if you need a spot, let us know asap.

Mahalo!

A Weekend with Cookie and Pumba

Our weekend guests this week are the tiny Chihuahua mix, Ms. Cookie, and the incredibly adorable Shephard mix, Pumba. They are best buds and are staying with us while their human family is away. Just look how cute they are......

Update

Well, the weekend with Teddy was fun(pic attached). As I have already contacted many of you, if you need your keys before I go on vacation let me know. Revised vacation dates are May 28-June 24. My husband will be available for some visits June 14 until I get home, but if you are in need of boarding or other sitting during the 28-13 then I can help you find someone. I am looking forward to vacation, but I'm also looking forward to getting back.

Back to Blogging!

Well it has been quite a while since my last blog. I have been updating clients via email/phone, but am anxious to get back into the blog world. This week Tarcon, Lizzy, Steward and Teddy are all getting great care and they are so fun to work with.

Announcement: For all clients, we are finally taking a vacation(it has been too long), so I wanted to go ahead and let everyone know that from May 20-June 13 we will not be taking jobs. Sorry if this is an inconvenience but call me and I will set up other arrangements for you. I don't want to lose any of you as my clients, but we are well overdue for a vacation and I will be back in no time.

Update

All is going well just haven't had much time to post on the blog. We are resuming in-house boarding but on a very limited basis so please book early. $40 per night per dog/$25 per night per cat.

Mahalo!

Our New Pup

This is our new little girl, Boomba. She is a beautiful PWD from Abwaj kennels in Jimboomba, Australia. We are excited to have her and she is excited to be here. She is currently in puppy classes and loves socializing with all the other pups.

For all of our clients, thank you so much for keeping us so busy the last few months. We were super busy over the holidays and through the month of January. It has slowed down now and I am enjoying some rest, but also ready to meet new clients and continue this great job.

Please don't hesitate to contact us for booking during the upcoming summer months. Book early. Thanks!

Update

Buddy and Teddy are too cute:) They are so funny. They love to sniff everything on their walks and get along so well. They are eating well and doing great! Pics taken and will be posted soon.

Haley is her usual charming self. Such a sweetie and enjoying her treats in the fridge.

Lizzy and Stewart are very happy. Stewart has really warmed up to me now. They are ready to eat as soon as I walk in the door. :)

Exciting News for Us!

Sofi, the PWD female we co-own who is currently showing in conformation on the mainland, won her 1st championship point at her very first show today. We are so proud of her and thankful for her wonderful handler. In other exciting news, the newest and final(at least for awhile) member of our little family is arriving this Friday. Her name is Boomba and she is a beautiful black PWD coming from a reputable kennel in Australia. Lots of good things happening this week. We will not be doing in-home boarding at this time. Adding a new puppy to the family will be activity enough around our home; however, we will continue to do pet sitting in your home. At this time, we do not have plans to resume in-home boarding but we will certainly keep everyone posted.

In sitting news, we have beautiful Haley to care for the next couple of weeks. She is the best pooch and loads of fun:) We also have Lizzy and Stewart our kitty friends in Ko'Olina. New client this week as well with 2 pups. Pretty busy even after the holiday:)

Tomorrow is my last day with my friends Mannie, Striker and the turtles. I have been caring for them for 3 weeks now, so it will be weird not seeing them every day.

I am determined to get a camera soon because these posts just are not as fun without pictures.

Sassy and Daisy-----Parents, You Can't Have Them Back(Ha, Ha)

First of all, let me talk about my sweet little friend Sassy. Oh my, she is the sweetest, best behaved dog I have ever met in my life-no joke. She follows me everywhere. Stays when I say stay. She never needs to be crated, never messes up in the house, never chews anything she isn't suppose to and her adjustment to our home has been seamless. She fit in from day one and my children adore her. Having her around is wonderful. Daisy is equally as sweet and loving-just in a much larger more slobbery package:) She is a sweetheart and so gentle despite her size. She is so obedient. You can talk to her like you would a human and she understands what you are telling her to do. These two are a pleasure to have around. I wish I could post pics-I have got to go get a new camera whenever I get 5 seconds to go shopping.

Emmy went home today:( We have had her for almost a month and she has been wagging her tail the whole time and growing like a weed. She is turning out to be an absolutely girl and we know her family is happy to be back with her. Thank you for letting her entertain us for so long:)

Updates

Makai is doing great. Eating well, enjoying playtime and is a happy-go-lucky guy. He misses his mommy though:)

Emmy has more energy than an energizer bunny and she is extremely strong. She is a sweet girl with beautiful color and eyes.

Sassy is the best dog. She is so easy and is wonderful with our kids. She fit right in like she has lived here for years. She and Kala are perfect together.

Daisy is a huge sweetheart. Underneath that huge mastiff body is a gentle old soul. Such a beautiful dog.

Striker, Mannie and Turtles are all doing well. Mannie can't wait for our walks together and let's me know as soon as I walk in the door Striker is eating well and really enjoyed his bird seed yesterday. The turtles are fine as well.

Coming up: Stan for Jan/Feb pet stops. Vickie for pet stops this week. Jonnee' for weekly clean up on the 22nd.

In other news, our girl Sofi(who lives on the mainland) will be in her first 2 shows this coming weekend. We are hoping she does well but she is still a pup and the showing is more for her to experience it so that she will be open to it when she is full grown.

Our new girl, Boomba, will be arriving in the next week and we are SO excited. David has already started puppy classes without her(ha,ha). Kala and I have two conformation schools to go to for the next few months. Busy time but fun:)

Happy New Year!!

It is 2010. I need to give a quick update for all my clients. Our camera is dead:( So, I am texting pics to some of you. Feel free to request text pics, but I know some of you get charged for text pics so please let me know if this is an okay way to communicate. Everyone is doing great. No issues, thankfully:) We are really enjoying meeting new clients an building relationships with all of you. Happy New Year and God bless!
