We are excited to let everyone know we are making improvements! Some of the things that we have done are:

1.) We have added sun/snow/rain shelters to all the play yards. You never know what Minnesota weather will bring and we know how much the dogs love to be outside, so we thought we would make it more comfortable for them. We also put some kiddy water pools in the play yards for those dogs wishing for a little dip such as Annie.

2.) We have painted all of the concrete kennel walls with a bright water repellant paint. Not only does it make it easier to clean, the bright color makes it a much cheerier atmosphere. Below are photos from the inside and from the outside looking in. There is a dog door flap that they go through to get in and out.

3.) We have added more cat crawl space in the cat room. Everyone knows how curious cats are and how they like to explore, so we added some "cat walks" into their play room. When we are boarding multiple cats we always take turns letting them have the room to themselves while they others hang out in their kitty condo. When they are the only cats in boarding they get the entire room for their whole stay! To add to their viewing pleasure, we put some bird feeders right outside their window.

4.) We have also, on most days, try to add an extra potty/play yard break during the afternoon. In addition to getting let out twice in the morning and twice in the evening, the dogs also get a mid afternoon break when possible.

5.) We have purchased an additional 4.5 wooded acres attached to the already existing property (for a total of almost 10 acres!). With the new addition, we have excavated some new walking trails to take the dogs on whose owners request walks. It is quite beautiful on these trails which not only has magestic pines and hardwood trees, but it is not uncommon to see some sort of wildlife. It is a great release for the dogs to see the sites and smells on this walk (such as this little fawn!). Below are photos of Lynda with her dogs going for their daily walk on the trail.

Below is our little "Summer" shop kitty exploring a tree next to the shop. She stays inside 99.9% of the time, but once in a great while we let her outside to let her explore.

Here is a photo of Angie's cat "Summer" exploring in a tree.
