🎉🐾 What a spooktacular time we had at Little Ponderosa’s 2024 Boo Bash! Our furry friends truly made this Halloween unforgettable! 🎃👻

The highlight? Our paws absolutely loved the pumpkin roll, followed closely by sniffing the pumpkin and bobbing for balls! It was a joy to see their unique personalities shine through in their adorable costumes, and we had a blast recognizing each other in our costumes too!

Every guest was treated to delightful snacks like Monster Eyes, ghost cheese, and all-natural pumpkin cookies—yum! 👀🧀🍪

A huge shoutout to Tonya and Summer for their incredible pumpkin carving skills; they both won a $50 gift card! 🎊 And a massive thank you to our amazing team who dressed up and played with our pawed pals, making this year's Boo Bash a howling success!

Can't wait for next year! Until then, keep those tails wagging! 🐶❤️

A special thank you to our team!❤️ Our team worked really hard while Jeff and I attended the International Pet Boarding Services Association meeting. in Tucson, AZ. We believe continuing education combined with networking with our peers will help to give our team the tools, education and resources needed to provide our pawed guests with the best possible experience and care while they are guests at our resort.
We met with Dog Handler Academy and online education service we provide for our team to assist and provide them with the necessary resources and education for each of their roles.
We acquired a great new amenity for all our pawed guests to enjoy. Woofs was named number #1 best new business for its canine product and we believe our guests are going to love this new addition to our edible menu.
We also have partnered with Canine Lab Testing company. CLT will work with LP and our customers to help gain a quick and easy health guide to their pets health through their p**p. We will be able to offer this service at half the cost of having this done at your veterinarian office. We and you will receive the results by email within 24 hours after our daily collection . Allowing you if needed to reach out to your veterinarian for medication and if your veterinarian is unable to be contacted use our tella vet service that can forward the needed prescription to your or our pharmacy for immediate pickup allowing for no delay in needed medication. If bigger issue is detected your veterinarian will be immediately contacted for immediate action. Best of all we collect the p**p and lowering the out of pocket cost to our customers will give people and paws access to benefits that otherwise might be to costly.
We are excited that by attending these educational events we are able to offer our pawed guests access to benefits that will improve their health as well as fun and engaging amenities.
We want to close with networking this past week with people in our profession made us proud that everyone’s common goal was the best interest of their pawed guests and their team that cares for your paws!❤️🐾
