2011 is over?!

This blog was my New Year’s resolution in 2008 and look I still have a blog. Admittedly, I am not a very consistent blogger but I try. I am never quite sure if anyone actually reads my blog and then yesterday a new customer came in and asked me if I was the one that has the dog that …ehem… pee’s in my bed. So YES! there are some readers. Yippeee.

It was a big year for K9 Kaos as you know, so I won’t bore you with all of those details all over again. We moved! It was also a big year for Greyhound Placement Service as it also moved here and officially opened its new kennel in August. Michele has been living on site and running the K9 Kaos boarding kennel which has been amazing. We have all survived the holidays so far without any of us killing each other…. although it has been close a couple of times. We still have one big boarding weekend left and I think we have a pretty good system going now.

My dogs are all well. KO, do I dare say out loud, is no longer doing the pee thing. She is still extremely wobbly so we try to limit her adult beverage intake. She is as bossy as ever and will be 13 in March. The rest of the pack is great … I can’t believe the little babies are already a year old. Michele has been running the yearlings (now 2) and they are all doing so well. The little babies are turning into good travelers. Maybe I will actually go to a race meet in 2012. We’ll see.

New things for K9 Kaos in 2012? Fully computerized???? (perhaps that will be my 2012 New Year’s resolution) Moving right along to something more realistic: We will have a full training schedule put together this year. Jean MacKenzie is teaching some fun classes here now and I hope to add some obedience type stuff as well. Agility and that sort of thing will be a while because we still don’t have any flooring which we need for jumping. I think we will also be having some veterinarian time here on site which is pretty exciting. I will have more details on that soon, as well as a schedule of dates, services offered, and prices. We have had some good suggestions from customers regarding new services, one is that we start hosting some puppy playgroups on the weekends. I’m still thinking that one over… but if you have any suggestions or ideas on things that you would like to see at K9 Kaos, please drop us a line I would love to hear from you.

I wish you all the very best. Thank you so much for another unbelievable year. I am so grateful to have such amazing friends, family, customers, staff, dogs, and a husband that has allowed me to live another day. (believe me.. he has plotted and planned)

Here’s to 2012! Anne
