I will be inputting my client information into a new app to make scheduling and paying easier for my clients .
Please text me your email address. The app is very familiar to many of you , it is the “Time to Pet” app.
I will send you the link once I have your email address.
If you are technology challenged , it’s ok, I can walk you through it if needed.

Please be aware of the mushrooms in your yard. I just heard a story about a 1 year old dog that died from eating a toxic mushroom from his yard.
I cannot identify mushrooms so take pics of the underside of mushrooms to google them.
We are scanning our play yard at RDC before playing also .

As I continue my week of learning and growing as a pet care giver/business owner, I am going to give myself credit for my earlier days in creating my business plan .
In my very first flyer I seemed to have recognized the need for “enrichment” in regards to caring for dogs.
This week I am learning, that “enrichment “ surpasses all other activities we do at camp. Walks are good, play is good, rest is good. Enrichment makes the difference between having a content , relaxed , and personable dog and having a destructive , miserable un attached dog.
I have so much more to learn and I hope I can pass along this knowledge to my moms and dads in a way that will guide us as a team to give your dog its best life!

Today I attended a seminar called “code red”
This is referring to the high energy dogs that enjoy entertaining themselves at the expense of others. Out or the 40 or so attendees , the common theme was the chocolate lab and their ability to disrupt activities and enrichment projects.
Since I only have 1 chocolate lab who is absolutely perfect , I am not sure if I’m getting my moneys worth here. 🤔😉

1 day with the pet biz wiz Dom Hodgson and I am already seeing what potential RDC has .
The ideas and challenges he has taught in just one day has my brain exploding with new ideas.
I am taking notes and adding to my focus board as I write this!
I had a vision of creating an environment where dogs can tap into their individual instincts to fill their lives with adventure and contentment. I feel I have fulfilled that vision over the last 2 years.
I now have a greater vision of expanding the depths of that mission.
I have lacked in organization , both admin and daily schedules. With this weak link I have robbed my clients of so much .
I sometimes feel
I have taken on too much. I am excited to attend the seminars over the next few days to correct and grow.
Thank you Cassy for running the show in my absence.
And remember my # 1 rule!!!!
If a tornado comes through , grab Rosie and run to the basement!!!!
