Mark's Pet Pals

Good news! The dog's name is Hank and the owners are on the way here to pick him up. I wrote his name on the red tags we provide to customers.

Okay, some nice people picked up this bad boy running around MSHS parking lot a couple of hours ago. He has one of our Mark's Pet Pals red tags, but his name isn't on it. He's safe and sound at our kennel and I'm trying to find his information, but without a name, it is a challenge. If he's yours or you know him, please contact me.

Per a request, sorry, we are not accepting zebras unless they are neutered and are current on their vaccinations. Also, they still have to come for an interview/tour to see if they are a good fit.

After a discussion on Sat. 7/23/22, we decided to downsize the kennel business a bit. As of September 1, 2022, we no longer are doing doggie day care as part of the business and just doing overnight boarding with fewer guests per night. We appreciate all our wonderful customers, but there comes a time to enjoy more of the "golden years". We have meet a lot of dogs and their owners over the last 12 years and it has been a interesting time. New and different adventures await. Still want to visit Japan or S.E. Asia and awaiting airfare to drop down and travel restrictions to lighten up.

Sometimes, it's better to just accept things as they are.

Look for the positive.

Just a quick note: As we see mid-winter break come to a close and dogs leaving this Saturday and next Monday (office closed Sundays), spring break is not that far away. Spring break is Monday April 11 -15 for Snoqualmie Valley schools. Currently, we have 7 openings for that time. Perhaps by March 11th we may be close to getting fully booked? I have communicated with other kennels around and they are also getting filled up early. Also, a valley Vet clinic has stopped doing dog boarding at their place. Good time to schedule for dog boarding for the spring. And lastly, daylight savings starts March 13, with spring starting March 20th.

Okay, our kennel assistants keep going off to college or moving out of state. Looking for a trustworthy and responsible person that likes to spend time with dogs, can greet the public and get paid. Should be at least 16 and can greet customers from time to time. Occasional kennel coverage when we go out to dinner, need to get away or spend time with grandkids. Interested? Contact me about working here.

Do your dogs have a laptop?

Well, a unique situation was presented to me. A man called about needing a home for his son's Belgian Shepard, while the son is in Israel for the next year to 18 months. The father said that he was willing to pay $500.00 a month to defer costs for the dog's stay at a dog
"foster home". If anyone would like to keep the dog for that time, let me know. A home situation would have to be reviewed before having the dog stay with anyone.

Dedication.

Truly a remarkable animal!

Stinkin' cute.

As some of you may have known already, I have been dealing with a medical issue for about a month. During that time, I visited the ER four times and experienced pain and immobility. Okay, that was the bad news. The good news is that I unexpectedly got surgery scheduled in this Thursday Oct. 7th at Overlake Hospital and back home that afternoon. Woof! Woof! By Monday, I hope to be done with it all and back to "normal". As such, I will trying to start up boarding/day care about Wednesday/Thursday. Will see how things are Monday.

10/05/2021

Good info.

10/03/2021

Just a reminder for taking on a new dog.

09/03/2021

Well, we got our queen size bed set up in the rec room. The kennel is fully functional and operating as normal. WE'RE BACK! Roof repairs for the other part of the house continue.....

08/14/2021

Sigh... The delivery of the trusses is delayed (again) until this coming Monday or Tuesday. As a consequences of that, house still uninhabitable and electricity shut out throughout most of the house, we are struggling to return home and open the kennel for business. Now, it looks like the 30th or September 1st? Frustrating!!!

07/14/2021

Well, nothing goes as planned..... I talked with the contractor and the due to backups with 2 truss companies, we will not be receiving our 10 trusses for house repairs until August 15th! That was a rush job, otherwise, we wouldn't be getting them until August 24th or later... Someday, JoAnna and I will move home again...

Very true...

Take your time and enjoy!! Have a happy weekend!

- Special situation - Due to a rather large hemlock doing damage to our roof and house, we will be closed starting June 7, 2021 for major home repairs. We hope that the construction goes as planned and we can reopen mid to late July. We will be around, but can't live in plaster dust, sawdust and part of the roof missing. Contractor wanted to wait until there was less rain in the forecast. After 10 (12?) trusses are replaced, the roof re-done, new insulation, re-wiring, new ceiling, sheet rock work, painting and finally, stuff moved back in house, we get to return home. Then, the dogs can return. Are we having fun yet?
