Today is a day I never wanted to come. Ruff House will close it's doors for the last time. I am in tears a s I write this because I hate goodbyes. I think of all of the dogs who have come through our doors starting way back in 2003 when Dog Days first opened. I watched many of them go from playful puppies to sweet seniors. These dogs quickly became my family, and many clients became friends. I can't believe that after today, I won't see many of you on a daily basis. I can't thank you all enough for 13 years of trusting us to care for your fur babies. If it wasn't for your loyalty and your belief in me and my staff, I never could have re-opened in 2012 when Dog Days closed. Many of you reached out to help me as I was trying to learn to run a business. I am so lucky that for 13 years I was able to say that I loved my job. Life changed for me after I had my son, and I had to make the hard decision to close the doors to a business that I put my entire heart and soul into. I am filled with both sadness and joy because although I hate goodbyes, I keep thinking of how lucky I was to have such amazing and supportive customers, and of course, dogs who I loved as if they were my own.
Andrea will be working for Camp Bow Wow- Cherry Hill at their grooming salon on Evesham Rd. Please continue to support her by calling there to schedule your pups next haircut. She starts on July 20th.
If you are looking for another day camp to take your pups to, try Clif Wyck Farms Kennels in Marlton, NJ! They have a beautiful property and provide indoor as well as outdoor play!
I will be keeping this page up for a little while so I'd love for you all to share updates on how all of my beloved campers are doing!
Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to my customers, campers, staff, and friends who have supported me on this amazing journey!!!
Love,
Tara
