After a little splicing and dicing, the little dog cam is back up and running!

Chester was angry that I went out of town this weekend without him.  He ate my down vest, Uggs, his bed, some paper towels, and the power cord for the webcams.  Only the Small Dog Room Cam (Camera 1) is down.  The rest are working just fine.  I will try and get it up and running as soon as possible.  I apologize for the inconvenience!

We have power and are open for business!

Please note: On Tuesday, October 18th I am having the lobby floors refinished. Daycare and Boarding will operate as usual, but check in will be at the side door. By check out time the floor should be fine. There will be NO GROOMING and NO SELF BATHS at all that day. Thank you for your cooperation!

♦ April    17 will be the first part in 2 part Pet First Aid Seminar!!!

Knowing what to do in the initial moments can be critical to your pet’s life. Thanks to the Red Cross, pet owners can equip themselves with first aid skills. American Red Cross Pet First Aid classes give pet owners the   confidence and skills necessary to tend to unexpected emergencies until they can get their pet to a veterinarian. Many Red Cross chapters across the country offer classes with hands-on training in Pet First Aid procedures.   Part 1 of this seminar will teach you: Recognize an emergency; Perform first aid; Treat common problems and emergencies requiring immediate attention; and stock a pet first aid kit.    Part 2 will be pet CPR training.

Part 1 is Sunday, April 17.  10:00 am at The Crate Escape

Each part in the series is 4 hrs. Take either one for $45 or both for $80!

About the Instructor: Mary Ellen Paquette, Canine Behaviorist at Canine Cadre received her instructor certification and recertification for Adult, infant/child and Pet First Aid and CPR in 2005 and 2010
