Busier days …

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

It’s just Wednesday and we have all the indoor kennels booked up. The guests are all good dogs and I’m lucky to be able to hang out with them. Ghost, Lolli & Skipper, Rosie, Baxter and Louis are here, and the population will change a little by tomorrow. It’s a fulfilling career/job/service, as pet owners … Continue reading →

Just resting …

Posted on January 26, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

This has been a relaxing day, for the most part. Have cared for Smudge, Loki, Baxter and Casey, and the resident gang (Cinder, Smokey, Sam, Taffy the guinea pig, and the chickens). It just occurred to me that Gary made his own breakfast, coffee for the two of us, and warmed leftover pizza for lunch … Continue reading →

Best bucket ever …

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

It’s such a small thing, but it took on some importance to me. One dog water bucket of the many I have kept showing up “like a bad penny”. Somehow, and I could not imagine how, the handle had become “straighter” than normal. This bucket would not stack properly with the others because the handle … Continue reading →

Sorry I haven’t visited since last Wednesday; it was a pretty busy weekend. Actually, the days weren’t terribly hectic, but I was preoccupied with something I can’t talk to you about at this time. Last week, I shared a photo of beautiful Skye, and it was before her little “tune-up” maintenance trim. Skye doesn’t mind … Continue reading →

Empathy and heartbreak …

Posted on January 20, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • Leave a comment

It’s not really my story to tell, but now that Ruthie’s passing is “word on the street”, I can say a little. Our friends have experienced the loss of their beautiful, kind, smart, and gentle matriarch. Everyone who knew Ruth feels heartbroken at this time. She will be so missed. I felt sorrowful and helpless … Continue reading →

I couldn’t decide what to talk to you about today, but thought I’d dive right in regardless. It’s kind of like how I live my life and make conversation anyway. Gary’s been skiing and this week was an over-nighter. Some weeks he and Rob go for just one day, depending on the snow conditions, weather … Continue reading →

Missy & Baxter …

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 1 Comment

I’m a couple of days delayed posting a post … These two lovely pets belong to two different families, but I believe that they are siblings. Because the Pet Hostel operates in a region of relatively sparse population, to have related animals boarding, or here for grooming, is not that rare. Both Missy and Baxter … Continue reading →

Weekend’s end …

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

We have gone from a “full house” to just one boarder. I don’t worry about the never-static population of pets at the Pet Hostel, as the numbers change daily. It all feeds my soul and helps pay the bills. In the Facebook interest groups that I belong to for boarding kennel owners and pet groomers, … Continue reading →

I didn’t get many posts made over the last two weeks. You’ll enjoy seeing some of the faces of pets who were here over the holidays. Little Zippy was the last dog I groomed in the shop before my human darlings were with us. He’s so cuddly. I babysat another small Zippy after the Christmas … Continue reading →

Happy Saturday …

Posted on January 7, 2018 by Ann Schwartz • 2 Comments

  It has been a good day, with a busy morning, a restful afternoon and pleasant evening. After feeding the ten large dogs that are boarding, and making latkes for we humans, I did a little cleaning up in the kennels and then gave Gary a haircut. Then I groomed Grizzly, as I’d been asked … Continue reading →
