Have you ever been just dog tired??  Well let’s just say I know now how our guests feel after they go home from their doggy vacay and their owners send me their pictures past out asleep from all the fun and excitement they have had while they stayed with us. I get it, I am there. Lol June and July have been utterly AMAZING, and OVERWHELMING all wrapped in one!  We have had a total of 72 guests in June and 84 guests in July to stay with us and it has been so much fun getting to know all of our new customers and reconnecting with past guests as well. I truly do love getting to know each one of you and talking with you about your trips when you come to pick up your dog. We may not have been on any trips lately, but I have a lot of new places I would like to add to our bucket list! 😊

As we all know this year has just been totally off the wall crazy!! I do not know about y’all, but I am ready for 2020 to go! I can honestly say I will remember the year I turned 50. Quarantined, face masks, social distancing are words that will always be associated with 2020.  Although we do not know what each day will bring, I do know that we need to put our trust in the Lord each day and he will see us through.

37 years ago, today my dad passed away and I can always remember my mom wondering how we would ever make it without him. The days after you lose someone are not ever easy. You wonder how you can go on, but you do and you make it and you realize things you thought were important are really not and the things that you thought weren’t important are.  Life is always full of ups and downs, happy and sad, but life is a beautiful thing. So, as we move forward to the end of the summer and schools starting back and we face the new normal and if you have days that you just don’t know how you will ever make it. Remember to always pray and trust in the Lord. He will listen, it may not be right away, but he hears you.

Of course, we also have our dogs, and they can make every day better!! As always thank you so much for letting me be a part of your dog’s lives. You will never know how much I appreciate you helping our small business by letting us care for your dogs while you take a break from whatever is a normal routine these days!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Hope everyone stays safe and well! We hope to see you and your fur baby in the country soon!!

Hi Charlotte,
My name is April Zimmerman, and I work for my mom at her kennel business. She has been open for over 20 years. Joan's County Kennel in Buffalo Junction, VA. Anyway, as you know Thanksgiving is approaching and we are usually full, but this year we are not. My mom even said today that she might have to shut the doors because she can't pay anyone without boarders. We have plenty of grooming going on, but with no boarders she can't pay me or her other help. My mom has never closed for time off, and I think it is nice that you do sometimes. When she has gone on vacation before in the past I was left with all the work, and maybe one other person helping. Have you all been having the same problem right now with getting clients in for boarding this holiday season? Wondering if we should just take the holiday off this year? Can't really afford it though when you live paycheck to paycheck. Hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,

April Zimmerman
