Working on our new Boutique style setting for Cassie and Lassie - a small company that offers highly specialized services: Weekday Doggy Daycare, intimate, personalized, and cozy boarding for a smaller number of dogs, Dog and Cat Grooming, and an online Boutique (some in-shop items available as well 🥰). As I have evolved and bloomed into the best version of myself with the help of all of our extremely supportive clients who have been by my side through the extreme highs and extreme lows, surviving as best we can through a years-long pandemic and truly seeing and finding our vision after going from a staff of 15 in 2019 to a staff of 3 in 2022, we are right where we are meant to be. The good times, the bad times, the hurt, and the joy have all led to the creation of my dream vision coming to fruition. There is no bitterness and no hard feelings toward the people who once hurt me doubted me or walked away from me because... Amor Fati ~ to see everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good, or at the very least necessary. Only great pain is the ultimate liberator of the spirit, it is not that such great pain makes us "better", but I know that it makes us more profound.
My dogs, your dogs, and your kindness have provided me, this business and staff that have stayed along for the ride either as employees, clients or supporters have given me life, passion, and a feeling of safety to be me, to be honest, and to use my story and my journey as the inspiration in how to run this business. I want Cassie and Lassie to be a safe space for you and your pets as well.
I cannot wait to continue this transition and this journey with you. From my crew to yours, thank you for staying on this path with us... detours, rock roads, and freshly paved highways!
