Good Night 2020 - Good Morning 2021

 So, that was it! It's done. We've seen the last days of the year 2020!
A sigh of relief or a deep breath as we awaken 2021?
When we stepped into Jan 2020, there was no forewarning of the possible adversity in store for us.
(or was there)
We began the year with wide opened gates for a full calendar of visitors.  We saw lil Molly, Hazel, Bentley, Maverick and Sadie, Mylu, River and Curly. We welcomed a few new comers Suzy Q, Macy, Khione, Lupin and Cedar. We said farewell to The Bernies as they moved to another town. They are already missed by their playmates. We said a huge farewell to our darling Matriarch as she crossed over Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts still ache for you Princess MollyDawg.
Happy New Year to all those furry angels watching over us! πŸŒˆπŸΎπŸ’œ

January 2020 gave us well below -0 temps and blowing cold winds. Our trips to Kamloops were cautious and we were happy we brought our winter coats. This years temps are mild and warm enough to be almost enjoyable

February 2020 gave us reason to celebrate the rising mild temps and the absence of snow. The dogs were all happy to play outdoors without coats. We were able to clear out our flower beds to let the Spring growth come through. I refuse to talk about The Big Scare that hit us in the Spring of 2020.
You all know its out there, and we're going to stay pawsitive on it's control.
I was so happy with how our yard flourished last year. I sure hope we are that fortunate this year.
I'll be doing my plant count soon to start making plans to fill my planters again this year.
Yep, Pawsitive thinking!

Curly, lil Molly and Suzy Q enjoy a warm morning in February 2020.

We had a few newcomers and will be looking forward to seeing them again this year.
Welcome Cedar, Macy and Khione. We can't wait for your visits again this year.

Welcome to our 2020 newcomers. Cedar, Macy and Khione
We look forward to a fun filled summer!
We have another little newcomer who is sitting on the sidelines waiting for her spay to be completed, much like Khione is, before she visits us.
We'll be welcoming little Lupin this year.
Mylu and Lupin are buddies and we had the privilege of meeting up with her when we saw Mylu at her house over Christmas. We hope to look forward to her visits soon this year.

Lupin was spending a day with Mylu's mom and dad. It was so nice to see them all.

The fresh Spring of 2020 quickly turned to a wonderful hot summer. We had a fabulous year for flowers and a dry yard full of green grass. The dogs played outdoors for most of the days and kept us laughing with their fun.  My hose helpers made sure everything stayed good and wet. Including them.
Oh good grief, they kept me in stitches!

Bentley and Hazel 2020 Hose helpers extraordinaire!
We upgraded to a bigger small pool last year. The little green one just wasn't cutting it any longer and it seems like our dogs are getting a bit bigger now.

Sadie and Lady May sharing pool time while the others are busy.

River gets her paws wet while lil Molly decides if the water temp is warm enough.
On those almost rare occasions of wet weather last year we stayed indoors and developed wonderful relationships. The toy box was never empty and the tug toys, squeakies and stuffys had a great work out. I've purchased new toys for this year and they're all just waiting to be chewed, tugged and squeaked!
Maverick and Sadie turned out to be such an awesome pair. Two super happy and contented buddies.
It was easy to watch these two. I cant wait to see them together again.

Happy Sadie gathers up some toys to have close by when she wakes.
We are already swinging into the New Year. We are holding onto all the Pawsitive thoughts we can muster. We've started fresh and with out fear.
Will we keep in mind our Social Distancing and safe policies until we are given the Go Ahead!?
You bet we will!
2021 We're ready for you. Bring it on!
We hope you'll join us on Facebook - RK9KornerDaycare !
