Did you hear? We're still looking for a home for the daycare, but until then we're offering doggy day camp!

Doggy Day Camp Think of Doggy Day Camp as a hybrid between dog daycare and pack hikes. Once a week for a month, our camp counselors will pick up your pup at home, bring them to one of our private, outdoor locations to play and explore, and then bring them home. You can expect your pup to be out for....

Some heartwarming and wholesome content for your Wednesday: Tiffany Boyden has been volunteering with No Paws Left Behind on Saturdays and working with their pups. We all especially love Prince, this silver love bug, but all their pups are wonderful!

I mean...obviously. PS – You're almost to Friday! You can do it! Your dog believes in you!

Well I may be 62 but I feel 20 years younger now after going from 236 to 141 all after finding this little-known “Exotic Rice Method” …

I was having dinner with my friend Jen when she told me about a video she came across while scrolling.

That’s how she found out about this “rice method” that only takes 10 seconds in her morning routine.

I didn’t really believe her at first. But she was gushing about it and I couldn’t argue with her transformation.

She looked amazing by the way. I mean, Jen definitely didn’t look like this before…

So I figured ok I might as well try it.

I mean, I tried so many different things over the years. At least this “rice method” was very simple and easy to fit in to my routine.

Well let me tell you, just this morning I was trying on a swimsuit that I haven’t even dared to LOOK at in years…

I feel like I did in my 30s. That kind of playful, happy me, without a care in the world.

I thought that old me was gone forever…

If you watch the video, you’ll see what I mean. This “rice method" isn’t about exercising or watching everything I eat.

It’s much simpler than that. And it works for me, that’s the main thing!~

I’m just hoping Jen will see this when she’s scrolling, because I want to say the biggest THANK YOU to her for sharing it with me.

I’m just passing it on so others know about it.

So if you have a minute, tap below and I will show you the same video I watched. So many people are finding out about it, and so many are loving it. I’m a lucky one too!

Meet Isabella

Hi, I’m Isabella and I live in Lanesborough with my pup Murphy. He’s my best friend. I adore taking dogs on adventures walks around the beautiful trails around here. I always make sure to bring plenty of water, treats, and a sense of adventure. It’s rewarding to see their excitement and joy as they experience new places. I’ll treat your dog like my very own! I’ve worked previously at an animal shelter and a doggie daycare.

Beautiful Day to walk your dog... or hippo?

Who doesn't love an animal pun on a Wednesday morning?

18/09/2024

We've got some unfortunate news to share. Yesterday morning the property owner of the Cold Spring Rd location officially ended lease negotiations. That means we're once again looking for a location for the Pup Place. After a year of negotiations, we're disappointed and frustrated. We are not, however, defeated – just wiser.

We have two requests for you:

1. Are you or someone you know looking for an investment opportunity? Buying the property is still on the table. The Cold Spring Rd. building has been vacant and on and off the market for almost 20 years. The owner has reduced the price by $200k over that time, so someone can surely get it for less than the $399k he's asking. We have a solid business plan and a property owner stands to make a decent amount of money on our lease.

2. Do you have a large yard or field where we could host playgroups? We can pay per use, week, or month a sum of money to anyone who lets us use their land. While it's more work for us, we can mimic half-day daycare by moderating 2-3 playgroups per day. We'll pick up your pups and bring them to someone's property where they'll get to play and do some training with us before we bring them home.

In the meantime, we've found a real estate agent that specializes in commercial real estate and has great references. Our loan approval from Common Capital still stands, so it's just a matter of finding another spot.

Love,
TIff + Michelle

Very Demure, Very Mindful 🐾

We’re excited to say we’re making progress and hope to be in the building soon! So far, we’ve finished our business plan, gotten our special permit from the zoning board, raised almost $20,000, worked with Terra Design Build (a fellow EforAll Berkshire County alum) to draw up the floor plans, been approved for a business loan, and gotten preliminary approval from the town for the building’s use change.

All that’s left is to finalize the lease and move in! The lease is with the lawyers now, and we’re aiming for a September 1 move in date. If all goes quickly, we should be selling daycare preregistrations soon!

As always, thank you for all of your support!
Love,
Tiff + Michelle
