Spring - Mud Season

Mud Season is upon us!  As soon as all the snow melts in the play areas, a fresh, thick layer of untreated bark mulch will be put down.  This will help to keep the dogs cleaner.  We recommend that you keep an old towel or blanket in your car so that when you pick up your dog, your car seats can be free of muddy paw marks! 

Thank you for your patience with the driveway.  John has been filling pot holes daily, and when a little bit more of the snow is melted, we will have it grated.

The guinea hens are venturing further from their hen house now that the snow is melting.  The reason we got guinea hens is because they are tick eaters.  Being is a wooded area, the tree line is thick with ticks.  We felt guinea hens were the best, non-toxic way to keep the area free of ticks.  In a single day they usually circle a one acre area around the house and doggie play pens.  You will see them more often in the driveway so we ask that you make sure your dog is on a leash.  Guinea hens are a tasty treat for our canine friends.    

       

                    Enjoy Spring.  Winter will be back soon!

Arrive in Style

"Nice colors Venice, very nice," said Duncan.

"Check it out, Venice, you're lookin' mighty fine!" Duncan said.

Duncan pleads, "Will you marry me?"

Venice says with a sigh, "Men!"

Zander groans, "Shucks, I won't bother to ask."

A Celebrity Among Us

Many of you know Spike.  His parents have just opened another Spike's unit for the Navy,  a famous hotdog restaurant.  As you may know Spike is the "Spokesdog" for the company, and a frequent visitor to Fetch 'n Fun.  We thought you would like to see the new Bosun's Mate in uniform and doing the honors for the "ribbon cutting" ceremony with the base commander. Thank you Dave for sharing these photos.

Vacation Week

This was a very busy week for us at Fetch 'n Fun.  With so many people traveling out of town we had a large number of dogs boarding.  Amy and John worked hard, and had the help of our new employee Meg Ireland.  Meg works with Susan at Kennebunk Elementary and she is going to college to receive her teaching degree.  She will be helping out on weekends and busy vacations like this week, and came just in time since we had record numbers this week.

I would love to include a picture of her, but it appears John has taken so many pictures, that he wore the camera out!  That's okay, because I still have hundreds of photos to share with you, like this one of Tyler.

                                    

Enjoy your week!

Welcome

Hello to all of our beloved canine owners. And Ruff-Ruff to all of our much loved doggies!  Our Fetch 'n Fun blog  is our newest addition to our growing business.  Here you will be able to view pictures on a regular basis.  Since I could no longer store all the pictures John has been taking on our computer, and I have over 5000 pictures saved to Cds, we thought it was about time to get these photos out to the owners.  Through this blog you can download and print pictures, or send them to friends. 

You will also be able to read the most recent tips on canine training and care, and be alerted to any health warnings or recalls. 

So, enjoy the pictures, brag to friends and family, and share a comment.
