Open House 2009

Mark your calendars! As we’ve mentioned in the last newsletter, we’re going to be having our 2nd annual open house on Sunday, June 14th. This will be your opportunity to stop by and get an inside look at Kamp K9. We will offer visitors a tour of the facility, snacks, giveaways, and good conversation! If you haven’t had a chance to go through the place yet, this is your chance to see the rooms and spaces you usually don't get to see (including our home, as sometimes our guests end up staying in the living quarters with us).

Last year we had roughly 30 people come through, and even though the event was cut short due to mid-afternoon rains, we think it was quite successful. We hope to see you all there!!

More Crushed Stone on the Way!

At the end of last summer, we had several yards of crushed stone delivered and spread over the middle section of our play yards. It’s on a hill that used to have grass until dog foot traffic came along, which was followed by erosion, which did further damage to the ground. Whenever rains or spring thaw came, a little bit of the hill would simply get washed away, and it would get muddy and soft, making it difficult to get up and down, and of course dogs would get really dirty from it. Once the stone was put in, the erosion was abated and the dirt factor went away…at least, for that section of yard.

It was so successful that we’ve been dreaming of getting the rest of the West End covered in stone as well. (The "West End" is the part of the yard by the office and parking area.) We’re now in the process of trying to get that work scheduled… hopefully, it’ll happen before the open house occurs, but in any case, once it gets done, your dogs will go home a lot cleaner, even when it rains.

Random Thought:
Lord, please help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.
