Good morning friends!

Summer is over and fall and winter are about to take over! I LOVE the “BER” months so much. My favorite time of year! I also start to slow down drastically so I’m here letting everyone know that I appreciate your business SO MUCH in these months! October is always the slowest for me and I ALWAYS approach it with panic 😂 please keep me in mind for daycare and boarding for your sweet pets whenever you need to step away either for the day or for a weekend or week! I am located in China and we have another facility run by James, nestled nicely between Beaumont and Lumberton in a quiet and peaceful area. We have to keep the ball rolling! I have a family to support and a momma to take care of, so liking, sharing or spreading the word however you can is SO helpful to me and my small business! I know the holidays are coming up, and it’s NEVER too early to book! Get those travel plans lined up and message me to snag your spot for boarding! Fun things will be coming up in the holiday months, home made gifts from your pup and me, home made dog treats, giveaways and more! Don’t miss it!

Message me to book! Daycare and boarding both available- plenty of spots at both locations for the next three months!

Babies today 🩷

I’ve received a lot of messages to book apologizing for bothering me and I want yall to know, you’re not a bother at all!

I HAVE to keep working to support my family and I’ll definitely need days off but I’ll let yall know when. It’s way more hurtful than helpful to cancel a booking because you don’t want to burden me. I need to work and I have to stay open because this is how I pay my bills and how I can support my mom. So please keep bookings with me! For first time clients, this might not be the best time to book because things aren’t as they usually are. I’m unable to talk on the phone or do meet and greets and I completely understand if you choose someone else! I’m thankful that I have clients that know and trust me already and I’m so thankful for y’all’s business. So please don’t cancel! I gotta keep this ship sailing or I can’t take care of my family and my mom. I appreciate so much that yall want to ease my stress, but canceling bookings doesn’t do that! 😂 keep them coming please! Just expect to see a lot of Rachel or Matt. Between the three of us, we got this 💪

I need yalls support now more than ever! The back and forth trips to MDA every day, the taking care of moms dogs and house and all that. I need yall!

ATTENTION! Clients!

Tuesday, August 26th I will not be taking daycare or morning drop offs! I will be spending Monday night with my mom in Houston for her chemo appointment Tuesday at 7:45 am. It’s her first chemo appointment, so it’s important for my sister and I to be with her for that. Again

NO MORNING DROP OFFS AND NO DAYCARE TUESDAY THE 26th! Thank y’all for understanding! 🩷 yall can drop off Tuesday evening! Rachel and Matt will be there!

The tiniest group today.

So sorry for the gap again, yall. My mom suffered a stroke and it’s been a nightmare of a weekend. I’m sure yall all saw Rachel! I’m back again this morning but she will be here this afternoon. Thank God for her.

Mr. Dutton has his green on today for my momma. We are having a prayer meet up tonight at Our Lady Of Sorrows in China Texas and are asking everyone to try to wear green, her favorite color! Thank you all for the love and support. Please keep my momma in your every prayer 💚

Friday! ❤️ 🐾

Hey yall!

It’s Laura Leigh.

First and foremost, I wanted to give a very sincere apology for my absence from Home Away From Home for the past week. As y’all know, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and honestly, since I found out it’s been kind of a blur. I’m working through MANY feelings, but I’ve come to a place where I’m very very hopeful and optimistic. We are ready to fight.

To my clients, ESPECIALLY my first time clients who haven’t built any trust with me yet, I am SO deeply sorry for the lack of pictures and updates about your pups. The door was revolving this last week, so between Rachel and I it was constant coming and going. Rachel REALLY stepped up in the biggest way and those who know her know this wasn’t her first time. That girl is a real ride or die and my right arm. I could not have kept open without her. I can promise you though, even though fun pictures and videos weren’t posted, your dogs were so loved and taken care of even when I was in tears out here with them. Lots of them knew something was wrong, especially the ones who know me (looking at you, Willie 😂) and were so patient and comforting during this time.

It’s going to be a long battle with my mom in the coming days, weeks, months and possibly years, so your love and patience with me means more than you’ll ever know. With Rachel, Matt and James help, we will continue to provide the quality, loving care that I am so known for, even during the dark days and when updates aren’t posted.

I wish I could take off fully to concentrate on my mom and family, but I can’t. The show must go on and I must continue working to provide for my family. Daycare is back open this week! You’ll be seeing a lot of Rachel, but if you know her chances are you trust her just as much as you trust me.

Please keep praying for me, for my mental and spiritual wellbeing (because this is really, REALLY hard) and please continue to pray for my mom and her total and complete healing. I know she can do it.

Thank you all so much!

Enjoy some pictures from today, and yes, my new Monday- Friday daycare doodle named Dutton has a bow on with my mommas name on it and pictured with her name is just what she is. Sunshine ☀️

Good evening, Home Away From Home family, it's Rachel!

I have an important update for y'all to address some changes you may be noticing here at Home Away From Home in the near future. As some of you may know, Laura's mom has been recently diagnosed with cancer and has been admitted into MD Anderson, where she is receiving the absolute BEST care. While Laura is spending more time with her family and supporting her sweet momma, I ask that you give us grace while we continue to care for your pets and for family as well. Anyone who knows Laura knows that her momma is her world and this has been an extraordinarily tough time.You'll be seeing my face quite a bit during this time, so I want you all to know that you are welcome to talk to me or ask me any questions regarding your furry babies. Matt will also be a face you'll see at the China location, loving on your little ones and taking care of business! James will also be available at the Lumberton location for regular business and helping to make sure everyone's taken care of. Those guys are amazing and love all the four legged friends like their own.
Laura loves y'all and all the little angels she cares for, and although she may not be her usual, bubbly self at times, she is doing her very best to provide top notch care for every pet that comes through the door. Please excuse us if you don't see as many videos or receive photos like you normally do, but be assured that you've got the best team watching out for your babies and ensuring they have a blast while they're with us!

Please keep Laura, her Mom, and the rest of her family in your prayers. I know I speak for Laura when I say she is blessed to have such amazing people as clients and friends. Your support means everything!

Thank you for your patience and understanding ❤️
