ππMerry Christmas from me to you! πΎππΎ.
It's now time for me to take a break for now, from my very busy dog home boarding business, which has been operating very successfully for over 25 years, non stop.
I've so many things to attend to over the next few months with mum, since the recent passing of my dear Dad, which happened while I was incredibly busy with boarding doggies.
Dad's battles and struggles with dementia started in 2018, also became my battles and struggles with authorities and low grade nursing homes over the past few years, also through covid times.
I was able to make changes in two dreadful nursing homes in Fife and save a few lives with the aid of newspaper reports, police and two MPs. Dad had good care in his final year and a half, he passed peacefully at age 94.
Dad was blessed to live a wonderful life as a full time artist and sculptor, he also made the snow globes for Walt Disney, and so much more, I loved being his art assistant.
He won many significant awards and employed a lot of people and always had mum by his side since she was age 19.
We walked our golden retrievers and my Great Dane, up Arthur Seat in Edinburgh daily and the home boarding dogs loved those walks too. Always keeping ourselves fit and active. Then we moved to Dunfermline 18 years ago, we enjoy fabulous walks here in Fife.
The business had a team of 8 Licensed, Vet Approved dog carers, as a team, we cared for hundreds of dogs every year.
Thank you for choosing me to care for all your lovely dogs over the years, Mum and Dad were also my dog helpers which they loved. Many of you met and knew them well.
Meantime I'm not accepting any bookings for 2026. As time goes on during 2026, once I have time to sort out personal things, if I decide to home board, I'll pop a post on here.
For now my plan is to return to painting pictures, which I used to do with Dad all the time. Also I'm keen to offer some charitable work with dogs and dementia.
I hope you all stay safe and well, doggies too.
I'm always delighted to have a chat, so feel free to WhatsApp π, let me know how you are, pooches too πΎπΎ.
With much fondness and appreciation.
Miriam and my beloved Zetta πΎπππxx
