WhewāJuly has been a whole situation, so grab your iced tea and letās catch up.
We kicked off the month with a lake day, which was all sunshine, snacks, and minor chaos.
Most notably: Tarynn and Joey got flung off the tube so hard, weāre still waiting for them to re-enter Earthās orbit.
And in case you were wonderingāyes, Dr. OāHare was driving the boat. Letās just say he has a very specific definition of "casual cruise." š
Kassandra is currently on vacation (how dare she), so the front desk has been operating at full throttle with the dream team: Jaden, Megan, and Ashlea.
Jaden has taken on her role as Official Corn Height Analyst and self-declared survivor of a near-death experience.
She proudly reports that the corn is getting highāwhich is great news for the farmers, and possibly bad news for anyone under 5'6" trying to find their way out of a field.
Also, she claims she was almost hit by a car in the gravel road (it was 500 feet away, but she swears it was close). Sheās also pretty sure Dr. Burge was behind the wheel. Weāre not saying sheās dramatic, but weāre also not not saying it.šš½šØ
And now for something actually serious:
Weāve seen a spike in stray dogs lately, and sadly, many havenāt been microchipped.
Microchipping is a small thing that makes a huge difference if your pet ever gets lostāit helps them get home faster and safer.
š£ And hereās the good news:
Weāre planning a special microchip event day soon with discounted pricing! If youāre interested, call us and weāll get you on the list. š¾
Ohāand donāt forgetāthe Dawson County Fair is just around the corner! Weāre already gearing up for 4-H shows, livestock check-ins, and more. Stay tuned for tips, reminders, and maybe even a few behind-the-scenes Fair moments.
And nowā¦ the main event.
Alvin the Catāmy mysterious, long-suffering, unfairly judged feline brotherāhas been selected for a calendar.
Yes. A real one. With pages. And months. And prestige. š¼š
This has officially reignited the long-standing war between Megan and Dr. Pinkerton.
You see, Alvin is Meganās cat, and she has always known he is devastatingly handsome.
Dr. Pinkerton, however, has insisted (since day one) that Alvin is āthe ugliest cat in Gothenburg.ā
Now that Alvin is officially calendar-worthy, Megan is considering sending a gentle but pointed throat punch Dr. Pinkertonās wayājust to balance the scales of justice.
And honestly? I support her.
As Alvinās big brother, it is my sworn duty to defend his honor.
You come for his looks, you answer to me.
Heās mysterious. Heās complex. He photographs like a shadowed dream.
And now heās in a calendar, where he belongs.
I donāt make the rules. I just throw paws when necessary. š¼š¶
Until next timeāstay cool, chip your pets, and if you see Tarynn and Joey mid-air againā¦ maybe duck.
