🎅🏻 GM Corner: The Real Santa's Helpers — Our Incredible Dog Mountain Team
As we head into the busiest season of the year, I want to take a moment to celebrate the true heartbeat of Dog Mountain Pet Resort — our team.
While the holiday magic may look effortless from the outside, behind the scenes it’s our staff — the real Santa’s helpers — making the miracles happen. They’re the ones giving belly rubs at 6 a.m., negotiating with dramatic
bath-avoiders, answering phone lines lighting up more than Rudolph's nose, double-checking meds, prepping gourmet kibble combinations, and reassuring every nervous newcomer that yes, in fact, they are the goodest boy or girl.
December always brings its own delightful brand of chaos, and our team handles it with more energy, compassion, and humor than I can ever capture. I wish I could pick just one favorite memory, but I have too many — some with our own dogs, and plenty with our guests. Every day at Dog Mountain serves up something memorable, whether it’s a dog who suddenly “forgets” how to walk on four legs during nail trims or a cat who acts like we’re filming an Oscar-winning
drama every time their suite door is opened.
To every team member who shows up with patience, heart, and holiday spirit — even on the days when a Great Pyrenees decides shedding is their personality — thank you. You make Dog Mountain more than a pet resort. You make it a place pets and families truly trust.
And to our wonderful customers: when you see our team this month, feel free to share a smile or kind word. They’ve earned it…
From all of us at Dog Mountain, thank you for letting us care for your furry family during this most wonderful (and wonderfully busy) time of the year!
Happy Holidays from our family to yours.
