Sales Tax

This past year the Maine State Legislature passed a new law requiring providers of certain services to charge 5% sales tax. The whole thing stinks; it’s more expensive for you and a big monthly hassle for us. Thankfully, there were enough signatures gathered to force a vote on it, and so the new sales tax on services such as those provided by Kamp K9 are on hold until June, when there’ll be a special election in which this issue will be decided by all of us voters. (Government in Maine has gotten silly and expensive, hasn’t it? Make a law, and then have people veto it in a costly special election.) We’ll be sure to remind you as it gets closer, but we’ll start saying it now: in June, please vote to repeal this ill-conceived law!

2009 Holiday Season & Hours, Part II

Thanksgiving was a full and fun time here at Kamp K9! Rainy weather aside (grr…) all of our guests enjoyed themselves, and were particularly pleased with Thanksgiving dinner (chicken breast with mixed vegetables and squash on top of their regular food). The reaction to dinner was so cute…everyone just wolfed down supper!

The phone calls have begun for Christmas boarding reservations, so we urge you to get your planning done as soon as you can, and let us know. As we are now accepting credit and debit cards, we are also requiring deposits on holiday boarding reservations. As for our hours: We’ll be closing early on Christmas Eve, at 4pm. We’ll be closed Christmas Day for any business, so boarding drop-offs will need to be made by Christmas Eve. On New Year’s Eve, we’ll be closing at 5pm.
