It's been a busy month-

I was fearful I wouldn't be able to get this post up before the end of the month. However, being an entrepreneur my hours are 24/7 it would seem.  :)
It's all good-you can tell how happy the dogs are every adventure was worth it.
In fact I had to delete over 1,000 pics to free up space on my phone to take more pics for next month. :)

Updating the grooming room is now underway.  I do what I can-in my spare time. A fresh coat of paint is exactly what was needed.

So many of the dogs I see now are seniors . Struggling with being able to complete grooms from beginning to end. I have seen many dogs pass away in the last few years. It's very sad seeing so many slip away, when they are such great companions right up until their end of life.

This is Snoop's after pic. I was unable to get his before pic, as he was highly stressed upon arrival and went directly into the bath.

Sparkie was the opposite, I got his his before pic taken and he was stressed, when he returned to the grooming table after his cut and bath.

All I can do is keep them comfortable and modify their grooms whenever possible. Whether it's to shorten their time with me-reduce the procedures they encounter during a groom or cutout the precut, like I suggest. Sometimes, less is more.

I had a call come in the other day, requesting if I would offer a mobile service since this customer was at work and our hours conflict.
All my equipment can easily adapt to a mobile service.
FYI, I can offer mobile grooming for small and medium dogs, as well.
Please call to find out more information.

The adventures have begun. With snowmageddon behind us, all paws are running on the trails once again.

Please feel free to email, text or call for more information about signing your pooch up for the next date available on an outing today.

December has been the most difficult month by far. I was told in September by a friend the Farmer's Almanac declared winter would rear its ugly head in November.

​When they mentioned it to me, I sure didn't see snowmageddon in that forecast. It wore me out with the first snow fall. To just try and go with it and accept this is the way it is all going to unfold, wasn't good enough.

Since the arctic front arrived with it. After an extended summer without any rain, going from one extreme to another without reprieve-has just left me exhausted and joyless.

I had been looking forward to time off over the holidays, but with all the cancellations, missed outings, & working on my days off. My holiday was spent in the driveway shoveling snow at the worst in minus 16 cold with a windchill of -22, instead of writing Christmas cards, gift wrapping and making plans to be with loved ones to visit and share a meal together.

I know I am not suppose to complain-I am to be grateful. So many lost their power, were in the cold and for some lost their lives during this wicked storm that blasted through Canada and the USA less than 72 hours ago. 

I found myself sad, broken hearted, & tearing up hearing the news over the loss of life. How could anyone be prepared for what we just went thru.

I have been winterizing my shack for months trying to beat the cold. Some of the things I did, helped. My bill came in FOR Christmas and it revealed my consumption is 25% lower this time over last year. So, my hard work paid off. Only the best thing to do would be to move into better accommodations. Which is just out of reach at the moment.

I cancelled hikes when the extreme temperatures arrived. Here's why. Even though our pets need exercise. To be outside on the worst day was too cold for their paws. Unless they are Husky, Samoyed, Bernese Mountain Dog, Alaskan Malamute you know, true cold weather dogs. I wasn't risking injury to the pack.
During extreme temperatures hot/cold. Adventures are reduced and only bathroom breaks are suggested until the heat or cold return to normal seasonal temperatures.

Regular seasonal temperatures are back and hikes will resume-but I still want to touch base on being prepared. Not just as a dog walker, but for anyone travelling during such extreme temperatures.

We absolutely can carry emergency kits in our cars. To give us a better chance of surviving the weather in the event something happens. A breakdown kit can include blanket/sleeping bag, water, flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, emergency rations or granola bars, dog treats for pets, hot warmers, extra hats, gloves, scarfs, these can be tucked away in seat pockets, glove box, consoles, trunks, under the seats, in a bin that can be removed when the risk is over.

This is a pretty basic list of supplies, as well, true planning to get a head of the weather event or wait for it to pass, rather than traveling while it strikes. As much as I was saddened to not see my family during the holiday-I said in Sept I wouldn't be travelling, nor did I want anyone travelling to see me.

My next thoughts are seeing loved ones before winter and in the spring from now on, as the winters here are becoming more extreme. 

As for those who insist on braving the elements. My prayer for you is God sends His angels to go before you and make your paths straight with safe passage today and in 2023. Happy New Year everyone, Praying it gets better for all,  in the coming days.

So, I got an email at the beginning of the month from Weebly-informing making tracks dog hiking they merged with Square. This is the way of their future, not mine.

I am uncertain now how long this site will remain active. I will begin to build a new website on another platform where I am not forced to comply for a service I didn't ask for, don't want and have no use for-just to go along with the A.I. and system that is being set up all around us, at the moment.

The globalists managed to accomplish 10 years of advancements to the NWO during the convid plandemic lockdowns while most were in the dark about what was really happening. Because they want it that way.

I am not going digital, when my site is for informational purposes only. I provide my contact info here and share a blog post. There is no commerce happening online.

I don't charge enough for them to find another way to try take my hard earned cash away from me each month, going forward.

I will continue to share what I can, however I had some log in issues today and couldn't even log in on my usual browser. This is my backup browser. So I am not sure if they're having tech difficulties or if its a sign of not complying.

Anyway-all of that to say. I will try to post my new website info asap. Although, things may actually be delayed until the new year as things are winding down now as 2022 comes to a close.
With that said-Merry Christmakah since both holidays overlap this season. Thank you for being apart of 2022. Look forward to seeing you in 2023.
