Halloween Dogs!




Princess and Noel are all dressed up for Halloween in there bandanas and their halloween collars from the OSPCA!  The Halloween collars are a fundraiser for the shelter and made by one of the awesome (EXTREMELY dedicated) volunteers named Julie!  Julie is already planning out christmas collars!  I already know that Princess and Noel are going to be two of her biggest customers!

The End of Another Weekend



Drew and Princess came up north this weekend. We went to a "barn warming party" (where we got the full tour and met 2 cool horses, a donkey and lots of dogs!), completed some running around, and took Noel to get her teeth cleaned - she was the "demo dog" during the Pembroke Animal Hospital Annual Open House. We saw her while she was "out" getting her teeth cleaned. She was part of the "tour". Unfortunately she wasn't ready to come home until after Drew and Princess left.  She couldn't get in and out of the truck by herself because she was still so groggy. I had to help her and now my back is killing me! I think she feels worse though because she's been sleeping ever since she came home and hasn't even had anything to eat! Poor doggie. At least her teeth will be sparkling like the stars! haha. While we were at the Open House Princess and I had our picture taken together for "Pet Pix".  I think I'll be able to pick up our picture next week. She was such a good girl at the Open House... she even handled the tile flooring like a pro!

This week looks like it's going to be another busy week. I have training to go to (over night) in Brockville with my boss and a co-worker. I'm looking forward to it - one of the seminars is on volunteer management so I'm hoping there will be some helpful, innovative and relevant ideas and information. There's also a craft night this week.  I'm also hoping to continue to implement the new volunteer program options.... and find some people to help us with snow removal before the snow comes! eek!
