Murray's RiverDog Ranch - DayCamp & Boarding Doggy DayCamp w/Kennel-free Boarding All pups wanting to play or stay must complete a one-on-one consultation. And, that goes for people, too!

Murray's RiverDog Ranch [pka - RiverDog Agility & Training Center (RDA)] offers Doggy DayCamp (day care for your pups while you work!) and Kennel-Free Boarding (on a limited basis), for those who have well-socialized pups, or pups that are non-aggressive, but lack basic social skills. One of my favorite sayings is, "A TIRED DOG. . .IS A HAPPY DOG. . .IS A WELL-BEHAVED DOG!"

RDA is not currently o

ffering group classes. I do, however, offer one-on-one instruction by appointment only. The best way to stay notified is to "Like" and "Follow" RiverDog's page as that is how news is communicated. All are welcome. . .young, old, or anywhere in between! It is an out and out fable that one cannot teach an old dog new tricks! Come on down and join in on the fun!

Captain came for his first BAC today, and sweet Rubi invited him to a game of "Catch me if you Can"!!!!

Captain hasn't learned yet how to stretch it out...give me a couple of DayCamp days, and this half BC, half Labrador will begin to learn how to be an agile runner!๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜

Dear RiverDog Family and Friends,

Just a heads up!

RiverDog was fully booked for Thanksgiving, and I've been turning folks away (sorry); however, just this morning I had a last minute cancelation for medical reasons (๐Ÿ˜ฅ), so there is ONE space available if you need it!

Reach out at 530-227-3877, via either text or leave me a voicemail, with dates you need, and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Today is Maintenance Monday, so I will be unavailable to talk by phone for a few hoursโœŒ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’—

Also, re Christmas, New Year's Eve, I have *limited* availability. I would prefer helping RiverDog's established folks over Holidays, but it is first come/first served๐Ÿ˜‹ and I am getting calls for dates all around Christmas/New Year's, so, if you have not confirmed dates with me and need to -- NOW is the time to reach out!

Also, believe it or not, I already have a couple Easter bookings and one 4th of July, so thinking forward may be difficult at this time of year, but I kindly suggest that you might wish to consider your spring/summer plans, especially for any Holidays/Spring Break/end of school year๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ’—โ˜ฎ

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season!!

Peace and Good Health to you and yours,

Lyn and Pat Murray

Hey there RiverDog Friends and Family,

Does anyone have some old lemons, past their prime, looking for a home? I'm open for adoption ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜„โค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

It's time to wash Summer off the sliders...the ONLY thing that cuts it in one washing is to half a lemon and scrub in a circular motion...then rinse and dry with newspapers for that gleaming shine๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜

Course the glazing on the outside is gone...a Summer of happy pups with their dog slobber, wet noses, paws...you name it. Its a thick sludge that lemon juice/rind together dispatch pretty quickly.

Two to four would be an excellent start and get our Eastern facing sliders clear to watch Lassen this Winterโคโคโค๐ŸŒปโ˜ฎ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Dear RiverDog Family and Friends ~

โš ๏ธโš ๏ธโš ๏ธhelp pleaseโš ๏ธโš ๏ธโš ๏ธ

Have patience with me, please, it is not my fault๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคท However, my phone decided to update the calendar app notwithstanding "auto updates" turned off.

So, the only reservation dates I have for Thanksgiving and Christmas are the ones I have received in the last two days. I know not why this keeps happening to me, but even birthdays and yearly things are missing. I have been on with tech support for last two hours and they cannot figure out why either...I need to get a new phone as I am getting beyond frustrated and boy did that Samsung Support techie hear from me๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค

Soooo, pretty please, if you have reserved for the latter part of October, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, PLEASE reach out to me via text, because I'm pretty darned sure Thanksgiving & Christmas were full (or close) and I have blank calendars. I am frustrated๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญand I am getting requests which I cannot approve as I was sure I was tight, other than Mr Manners, who I approved today.

So, those of you, our wonderful RiverDog Family Members, who have reserved already, Pretty PLEASE text me (530) 227-3877 your dates -- again -- and THANK you so very much. What is this 3x's this year??? NO APP UPDATES EVER AGAIN without screenshots of my calendar pages -- scratch that it's evidently out of my control...I shall take weekly screenshots of my calendar pages so *hopefully* i don't need to reach out publicly ever again ๐Ÿ™...lol, well, I shall *try* not to have to ever reach out again ๐Ÿ˜…

Technology is so frustrating at times๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค and tech support is awful, they don't know as much as *I* do and I thought I sucked at it, lolololol, but I taught that techie a few things tonight๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ and I am not talking about cursing in Spanish! Lolololol

I am nearly done with Samsung and the Android apps....๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค

I appreciate your cooperation and assistance ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒป๐Ÿงš๐Ÿ’—โ˜ฎ

Thank you for being wonderful, Loyal RiverDog Family Members, and thank you also for your patience and cooperation ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ™โ˜ฎ

Winding down before Half-day go-homes, but Abigail had one more burst of energy ๐Ÿ’—
Yet, what do I see but new pup, Shepherd, hiding on fenceline...then a crab-crawl on approach by other pups/me. We leashed up and went for a few spins about the yard and he was fine and happy on-leash..he just needs more exposure in a group. He is going to be an awesome addition to the DayCamp, as he is a good player, with "known" pups...we moved his day to expand his world, and he started well, then reached his point of I'm done...his Mama was coming shortly or I would have called to say, "ok, he's reached his summit for this exercise", but again, she was already on way for this short-ish visit on a new dayโœŒ Next week we'll move him back to Tuesday where he's comfortable...then back to Thursday to try again *new to him* pups ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Thank you for allowing me to help shape your pups into "whole dogs"!

Health Alert -- FYI

๐Ÿšจ Xylitol: A Hidden Danger for Dogs

Even small amounts of xylitol (also known as birch sugar) can be life-threatening to dogs, causing hypoglycemia, seizures, liver failure, or even death. This sweetener is lurking in many everyday products like toothpaste, candy, cough drops, and more.

If your dog ingests xylitol, get them to the vet immediately for a glutathione injection to counteract the effects. Remember, prevention is keyโ€”keep all products containing xylitol out of reach!

Dear RiverDog Family and Friends,

If you or dear one or a neighbor or a friend is in need of a safe space for their friendly pup, or other animals, please have them reach out to me at 530-227-3877 with the word urgent and I will reach out immediately.

RiverDog has a space for pups, and if people bring their own panel fencing (I have maybe 6 graduatrd hog fencing/horse fencing panels), we can take on evacuated animals.

Please share and may you all be safe from this fire๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿงš๐Ÿ’—โ˜ฎ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผUPDATE

Hey all, Pat was released from the hospital about 6:45p last evening, I am so sorry I am so tardy posting. I got his weak, but omgosh "I'm gonna live" self home last night, cared for him, played with all the guests -- the Kennel-free kids were SOOOO good, didn't break into the kitchen, tear anything up or get into ANYTHING at ALL -- and all the kitties were present and accounted for๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— Cookies rained from the sky, special suppers all around (The Terrorists, also, for not antagonizing their doggy Guests) and, later,, play was had until midnight...then not having slept even a wink the night before after a scary day/2 weeks/ I slept like a rock until sweet, dear senior Miss Mollie asked to go potty at 4:22a, then marginal sleep....then a super busy transition day...and I had to sn**ch 45 minutes to nap, I was just sooo tired!

And, then, my Man was HUNGRY hip-hip๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿงš๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป so, I cooked..then meal time for indoors and I still have the outdoor critters and vacuuming to do, so have to get.

But, I HAD to stop and jump on to reach out...

Two things...

One - omgosh, thank you all so very much๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป the outpouring of public and private messages, prayers, LUV, offers of help (oh, Barb, bless you for offering to take our baby Guests, who would have just loved you๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’— ), and Cyndi, my dear, dear friend, who gave her entire day to running us around -- and *then* going to work๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜˜, and dear neighbor Jeff for running me back up to Mercy Medical Center [who gave just the beatest care to the very ill Pat, And me, and were just so competent and kind) Then, would you believe it? Cyndi picked us *back* up when Pat was surprisingly discharged (he surprised the doctors who said they were prepping a bed and then would transfer him there for the night -- Pat has very strong constitution ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป). So, AFTER she used her entire day, and then worked, Cyndi drove us to get Pat's antibiotics and through the drive thru, because we were all just starving (oh yay, Pat hungry๐Ÿ’—) then deposited us safely at home๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’— whew! Just a few run-on sentences there, bwah-hahahahaha ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’—โ˜ฎ๐Ÿงšโ˜ฎ

Alsooooo, just thank you to everyone else who also offered assistance, the gift of your time, prayers, housecleaning, just everything...the peaceful feelings that brought me and Pat gave me the ability to just *do* and reach out if there was a need๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโ˜ฎ Honestly, wow, just Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Two -- I am sorry I am soSO late getting status out...you deserved better, but, honestly first moment of semi-normalcy๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’—

Just thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

With gratitude, Lyn and Pat
