Well I have been keeping busy with my boarding clients. As you can see the rewards are lots of love in return:) We are looking forward to the warmer weather but with that comes the MUD! Oh well the dogs love it!

Philly Zoo Fun In The Winter Months

Took some time out to visit the Philadelphia Zoo recently. Nice time and no crowds. Lots of animals out and when we got to cold we ventured in the buildings to visit the monkeys, reptiles and small mammals.

A new edition is the rain forest carousel. Beautiful carved animals.

Jada and her favorite animal on the carousel.



The Amur Tigers were playful and on the move.




Jada enjoyed visiting the petting zoo and brushing the goats.



The Red Panda looked up long enough for me to get a picture before returning to his nap.

Looking forward to the March opening of the new bird house at the zoo. We'll be back for Jada's birthday.

Multiplying Retrievers

Can you ever get enough retrievers?

Dakota's Siblings Looking for Forever Homes

If you have had the honor of meeting Dakota you know how great a dog she is. Calm, listens so well, playful, smart and pretty to boot. Well two of her brothers from this years litter are available. Both guys are gorgeous!
Meet Mr Red & Mr Lime: They are 11 weeks old and ready to go home with you! A personal friend is the breeder and each pup has been raised better than you could ever imagine. Please contact me if you might be interested in meeting these guys.

Labrador Lads & Lasses

Max on the left and Dakota on the right, our two yellow labs ride along as part of our "Float" in the Harleysville Holloween parade. The kids threw out candy and I threw out baggies of doggie biscuits to our furry friends along the way.



The yellows hang out. Lipton left, Max front right and Dakota behind him.


Dakota (Yellow Lab) drug in the big "stick" branch behind her that Max (Yellow Lab in Background) has tried to claim as his catch. Cooper (GSP) and Bailey (Choc Lab) admire the big stick too.

Taking Time

Have you ever heard that "voice" or felt that "tug" inside of you to do something good, something right? Have you done it?

Some people say it's your conscience, some say the Holy Spirit. Did you listen? Did you take the time?

Sometimes people say I don't have the time, I'll do it another time, I'll do it when my life is not so crazy. What if you change your priorities and in turn find such great joy that you ask your self, why didn't I do this sooner? Well let me tell you about when I took the time.

It's Friday, I'm in my 30's with two children ages 6 & 7. My son goes to afternoon Kindergarten, I run my own Pet sitting business and I actively volunteer at my church. It's Friday and I have to feed my kids, my dogs, cats, birds and then go to a couple customer's homes and take care of their animals and put my daughter on the bus hopefully with her hair combed. Then I have a few hours to catch up on things before putting my son on the bus and heading out for my daily dog walks. It's Friday, the kids come home, dinner, my daughters horse lesson, then a volleyball tournament and lastly a few more customer visits. That's all just Friday. Would you fit something else in, would you?

Well I listened to that voice inside of me saying to do the right thing, go ahead help out, you know you can if you really want to, you can do it. So my son and I find ourselves heading east on the PA turnpike towards New Jersey. Did I mention I never drove to New Jersey by myself before? So on we go following the directions to this township shelter. We get off the main highway in Trenton and follow the directions, streets get smaller, houses are not as nice, we become the minority, buildings are rundown and my son asks "Mommy, where is the grass?" So we keep going. We turn onto the street where the shelter is and look for numbers but there are few. Then we see our destination, a big blue run down factory or warehouse surrounded by others just like it. Barbwire surrounds anything of importance. We park and walk around to the door and my son is holding his nose from the smell of urine. We ring the bell and wait. A lady opens the door, I say " We are here for Ozzie". She takes us through this dark bare bones shelter to the office area. There we wait for Ozzie. In he comes and she shows us that he does this growling thing when you pet him. I give my information and off we go with Ozzie and a leash. Back home we go. We get home and I get Ozzie out and he is very happy to be where ever this is. He is doing circles of joy and marking all over the green brushes and sniffing the grass. Guess what, not a bit of the growling he had done all the time at the shelter. We got him settled, my son made his bus and Ozzie was safe and sound in my kitchen on his way to a new start and a new life with a family that will love his kisses and cuddle him.

Did I listen? Did I take the time?

Today I did. Today I was a hero to a little Chin named Ozzie. Today I showed my son how to do something good and right.

Will you listen too? Will you take the time?

Grenada Missions Trip

Hi everyone,
Well I haven't added much lately but I have been busy. June 21-28 I traveled to the island of Grenada for a missions trip. We worked at a Christian School removing old walls, floors and debris so that the school can build and expand to provide a preschool and vocational school for the children. The work was hard but God provided the strength we needed. We were also able to have time to tour the island and visit the beach. Grenada is a beautiful island but many of it's people poor.

Here I am at the work site removing floor boards on the first work day.




During a trip to the rainforest area of the island one of my team members took this picture of a native monkey.
