To all my Riversides customers, this is hard post for me. So many of you and your pets have become like part of my family. After almost 17 years, I have sold the kennel. This was a very hard decision for me but as most of you know, the last couple years my health has not been the best (this stupid foot of mine). I will miss all the pups and owners. Some of you have been a part of our lives since the day we opened and I want to thank you all for trusting us to care for you babies.
I couldn’t have run the kennel for so many years without the help of my great employees, some whom have been there for years. They have always loved your pups just like one of their own. There have been many over the years but there are a few whom I couldn’t have done this without. Aj, Jodie, Lex and Sue, I love you all, your are a part of my family forever.
The new ladies who have bought the kennel are from our town right here in Dauphin and have been working with us for a couple weeks already. They have some great plans for the kennel and some of the employees will be staying, so your pups will already know them. I will also be staying for a little while to help with the transition, so please stop in and meet Liz and Lucy if you can. I believe they have a post on Dauphin chit chat so you can find their web site. The kennel number will be the same so you can give us a call. All your current reservations are still good. We will close and they will reopen the same day on Oct 20th.
Last but not least, I need to thank my family for all the support and love over the years. I couldn’t of done it without you. To Jeff, my wonderful husband, designer and handyman of the kennel, thank you for getting me my dream and helping me all these years. Without you there would of never been a Riversides Kennel. Now it’s our time to spend doing what we love, being with our family, loving our grand babies, or whatever we decide to do on a whim. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Love to all , Julie
