Daisy has quickly settled back into her routine. As you accurately sensed it was a big deal for us to go on vacation and leave Daisy. I’m sure everyone feels that their dog is “special ” and we are no exception. I relaxed after receiving your email advising that Daisy had settled in. You obviously have a great connection and love of dogs which is evident in your care of them. We will not hesitate to book Daisy with you when we take our next vacation. In fact I passed on your brochure to a colleague of mine. Once again thank you for taking such good care of an important member of our household.
Cindy, Nazar, Daisy
To give credit where credit is due, I just thought I would throw out a little shout out to the fine folks at Dogs at Camp. This is the anti-kennel where we have been taking the fur kids this summer when we are away from home. To say that these guys (er, gals) love dogs is an understatement, and after experimenting with a few traditional kennels around the area before this, there simply is no comparison. The dogs are never locked away, and spend the entire day running around a fenced farmyard with up to 40 other buddies. Then when they are completely played out they have a sleepover with 7 or 8 others in huge comfy horse stalls on sawdust. The facility is impeccably clean and dry, the staff is awesome, and the owner Cheryl knows all of the campers by name. I just dropped Harvey and Lloyd off this morning, and it goes a long way to say that this was Harvey’s first visit (Lloyd’s third) and he ran off without a glance backwards at me. Incredibly different from the first (and last) time we put him in a kennel when I had to physically haul him into the concrete cage so we could close the door.
Anyway, it’s easy to complain about a bad service or business, but recognition of a job truly well done is a bit harder to come by. These folks are the real deal, and they will take top notch care of your dog without a doubt in my mind. Check ‘em out and tell them Lloyd sent ya.
