Daycare Photo Journal
July 2008:
So, great, great news:
Billy has returned to us from the
clutches of the Army National Guard, where he spent June learning to be a
Military Policeman in Smyrna, Tennessee. We were worried that they'd
convince him to stay and be all he could be, but the call of the dogs
was just too compelling. Whew! So now instead of employing just one
token male, this female-driven, minority-owned small business can brag
on our open-mindedness and commitment to diversity, witness our three,
count 'em three! chromosomally challenged staffers. (Just kidding, guys,
you so rock!) On the kennel front, we're not only open, but thoroughly
exhausted from being completely sold out over the July 4th holiday.
We're still struggling with new policies, procedures, and pricing, not
to mention continually losing ground in the battle with our new software
system. Angie is extremely proud of her brand new bouncing baby kennel,
though, so please grab her for a site tour the next time you're in the
vicinity. Come to ponder, it's not a terrible idea to make reservations
for Thanksgiving and Christmas if there is any chance that your precious
angels will be looking to join the pajama party. I wouldn't have
believed that we'd be sold out a month after opening, but the 53 dogs
that celebrated the Fourth with us proved otherwise. In other
news, we hosted a record of 106 daycare dogs on Friday, June 20th, and
wasn't THAT just a whole bunch of furry fun! It's not quite as insane as
it sounds, though; we divide the group play into four separate (but
equal) classes: Littles, 'Tweeners, General Session, and Special Ed
(where Nancy teaches English as a second language). Plus,
Leanne has
completed her initial cross-training on Big Dogs, so our crack staff is
not only fluent, but also flexible. I hope you'll enjoy these pictures
of their many frolics and frenzies. Remember, too, that Alt+Tab will
flip you back to that spreadsheet you're supposed to be working on if
the boss drops in. Stay cool if you can! -- Bev
