Is 2021 Over Now? Is that it? Can we breathe?

 It's been a year alright. It feels like about 10 years. I think mostly it feels longer because I laboured trying to remain positive! I know all too well how letting negative thoughts creep in can deplete all your resources.
I tried to use my strength to ward off the negatives and replace it with positive. Believe me, with all that went on this year it was not an easy task. I refuse to recap all the neg that happened. However I do want to recall some of the happy days that cheered me up.
Im remembering the wonderful happy days with Mylu. She was such a beauty! Full of life and happiness. Run free with all your body at full strength dear girl we all miss you so much!You can read our tribute to dear Baroness Mylu Here.

We have a few newcomers in our fold. They definitely put a smile on my face. We welcomed two buddies from out of town. It gave us a smile to know we were able to open our home to two families needing accommodation for their sweeties during trauma filled days. We hope they will visit us again on future warm sunny, happy days.
10 year old Bulldog mix, Shanti and 9 year old purebred Red Bone Coonhound, Diesel.
Stay safe and remember to visit us again!

We also welcomed a few new locals to our extended family.We welcomed 3 boys, a senior Koda and two youths, Henry and Dobby.

Koda an anxious senior who only wanted his mom and dad.

We may not see many visits with dear Koda in the future. He is definitely happiest when he's with his mom and dad. They've made up a special living space for him in their van and he now travels to work with them each day. Yay! We know very well how much happier he is to be with them! He's always welcome back if he ever needs a special place with us for the day, but we fully understand his true heart desires.

Henry - "I can see a dog!"

Dobby - "Where's all the dogs?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm sure they'll meet many new playmates in the new year. We can't wait to see who they'll meet and love to romp around with! We had a M& G with young Celine over the summer. We're still waiting for just the right time to have a safe visit with her. We haven't forgotten you sweetheart, it's just been "one heck of a year!"

3 year old Celine has had many unpleasant experiences with other dogs.

We were also happy to have a wonderful return to our daycare. The lovely Miss Yeti who moved away several years ago! Her mom and dad haven't needed daycare for her since she revisited us but we are hopeful we'll have her one day in the coming year.

Yeti loves the new stuffies. 

 In the New Year we have a couple of Meet 'n Greets getting scheduled. We'll be looking to confirm those dates very soon now. We also have one more buddy sitting on the side lines waiting for a positive test result to come back before we can welcome him in. You'll be reading all about those three as they come up.
For now Our wish for all our friends and family. Furrys and Furless.
PLEASE continue to Stay Safe and Stay Positive!
Happy New Year to ALL
