Daycare clients - Wed and Thur this week. There is work being done near our house again on the power poles. There will likely be road signs on both Quarry Rd entrance and District Rd stating the route is closed. Despite the Road Closed and No turn sign, you will be able to still drive down the road to our house. Today the District Rd way was fully blocked off but you could technically still drive down Quarry Rd so I assume it will stay the same. See you all tomorrow!

As some of our Easter holiday clients were aware, I ended up in the hospital with a strep throat infection over the break. Feeling much better after lots of meds and made it back home this afternoon. Matt, as usual, was a real trooper looking after all the dogs and managing the children, including baby Willow. Thanks to those daycare clients who were fine about us closing for the day today. We are back up and running as normal tomorrow.
I won't be in any fit state with my throat to teach my obedience class tomorrow night, so unfortunately, I will have to postpone it until next week. Apologies for this. I will send you all a personal message tonight so that I know you are aware. This also means that the next new obedience course that starts later this month will then be pushed back a week, but I will make contact with those handlers next week. Thanks everyone ☺️
