Dear Dad,

Happy Valentine’s Day! I miss you so much! It has been so cold here. It has been below zero here this last week…🥶🥶🥶🥶

It is snowing now and warmer though! I have so many friends I get to play with. We have to be careful playing because it is so cold and hard on our little paws.

How are things in Antarctica? Are you breaking up some icebergs? I am sure it is very cold there too. Grandma keeps sending me stuff.

I have these giggle balls in my stall and they make the staff laugh every time I play with them..I roll them around my stall and play with them a lot.

Thanks for all of the treats and toys all of us love them! Hopefully you and your crew are being safe! Have an amazing Valentines Day! XOXOXOX to you!

Love from your favorite four legged girl

Dear Dad,

It snowed!!! Ok… not a lot but some. It was so fun playing with my friends in the snow. It wasn’t even that cold. The snow all melted and was gone the next day because it rained.

I am sure there is a lot a snow where you are and very cold! I hope you are staying warm.

I got your presents in the mail wasn’t yesterday. Thank you so much dad! Momo was laughing and saying that I get as many Amazon boxes as she does.

We are all excited for Christmas next week. All of my friends are coming to stay with me for th holiday!

I miss you so much dad…love you tons…be safe!

Happy Thanksgiving from All of Us at PCA!

Dear Dad,

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your travels are going well. I am having a great time. So glad to see some of my old friends here and I am making some new ones.

The rain has finally stopped thank goodness! It is getting colder and I am guessing we will have snow soon.

I am guessing you will be in the Antarctic soon and it will be way colder there than we are here.

I am having a great time, so don’t worry about me! Be safe on your travels to Antarctica…and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Love you tons and miss you

P.S. Hi Grandma - Happy Thanksgiving…I love and miss you too!

As many of you know, one of our puppies from Smith Pak Working Dogs was stolen and sold while they were boarded at a training facility. Civil and Criminal investigations are continuing. Investigations to find him are ongoing.

Uriee would have normally been here boarding but they wanted him close to his home because they were struggling with medical issues and in and out of the hospital. They could easily stop in and see him between hospitalizations.

With that being said, it has created a lot of worry and concern for owners having their animals staying in boarding facilities. You want and expect the best from anywhere you board your animals.

We are here to help...we are dealing with the trauma that a boarding and training facility has caused us and I NEVER want any of my clients to feel like this...

We are very transparent, we love your animals like they are our own, we take true and genuine care of each and every animal on this property.

We want you to know your dog will always have water, be fed and wont be in the elements and most importantly loved and treated amazingly. Unlike the kennel that Uriee was at...

Again, I NEVER want my clients to feel like I do right now about their dog staying with us.

We are taking reservations for the holidays and I know after some of the scary things you see and hear about not only the kennel Uriee was at, many kennels here locally, we are one of the rare ones that truly does all that we do for the dogs and our clients. It is a love and passion for me and all of my staff!

Happy Holidays to all of you and again if you need a place for your dog to stay over the holidays...we will make sure they are taken care of like they are ours.

Please write to the Kootenai County Prosecutor to help us get justice for Uriee and all of the other animals that have suffered at Faithful K9. The time has come to press charges against all owners and employees of Faithful K9.

https://www.kcgov.us/Directory.aspx?DID=48

That is the direct page to the prosecutors. Call, email, submit a contact form…We need them to press charges and force the employees to talk.

Case # 24C30507 for Uriee and Case # 24C29454 for Bellatrix

If you had had similar experiences with Faithful K9, with the employees of Faithful K9 or Faithful Fields - I urge you to come forward, file a police report, call the CDA Police Department and get ahold of the Prosecutor.

One particular employee is the one who deleted all of Uriees information from Facebook and will not give it to authorities. She also wont give up any additional information she may have…let’s encourage justice for these dogs and to press charges.
