The Year of the Woof

2011 is over, gone, finato, Hasta La Vita, woofie! It was a long hard year filled with ups and downs for me. It seems everything broke in 2011 for the Stanley's. Our riding lawn mower, boat, husband's vehicle, daughter's vehicle, heat pump, dish washer, microwave, two major dog expenses and a computer. Not to mention I had to bury my two favorite miniature horses and our beloved min pin, Twister. Jasmine the Ist died along with Elmo the rat. One of my dogs acquired parvo of all things and last but not least our septic tank is all out of whack. We have had better years that is for sure, but we were blessed with good health, a great family, wonderful clients and the fishing is still good, so maybe it all evens out. Now it’s time to hang up the new calendar. Some of my clients lost their pets, many got new puppies, and some just made it a year older and melted their owners hearts even more. Just look all those blank squares, 365 possibilities. 365 chances to walk the dog, groom the dog, take the dog to the vet, get a new puppy, or bury an old friend. You never know what this new year will bring, but it’s up to you and your faithful friend to make the most of it.

Maybe this will be the year you and the pup commit to loose a couple pounds, or at least to walk a mile a day. Wow, wouldn’t your pup like that?!

Maybe this is the year you teach your pet a new trick. Sit, Down, Stay, Rollover, Wash the dishes...well we can wish can’t we? Anyway, a new trick is a thrilling scence of accomplishment and believe me the extra attention would make your pet feel pretty special.

Maybe this is the year you add a new addition to the family. There’s nothing better than having a little puppy in the house, or sense of pride a person feels from rescuing a poor pup from the pound.

It doesn’t matter what you do, just do something. During the summer when the kids are home alone, I always tell them be good and do something productive today. It’s a good motto to go by, it’s my challenge for all of you: Be good and do something productive with your fur friend this year.

Oh, and don't forget to stop by Groomingdales and spoil your pets this year too! Yep, just had to throw that in there.

Happy New Year
