The Holidays are Here!
We love the Christmas season! The tree is up, Christmas music is playing, the fireplace is blazing. Even the morning fog is oddly enjoyable. We get to enjoy this for a whole month! And yet somehow it rushes by. Don’t let your Christmas travel plans sneak up on you without planning for your 4-legged …
Progress on the new well
The well is installed! But we’re not finished yet. We still have to transfer the pump from the current well to the new one. We also have a mass of clay to deal with. Anybody have a use for huge amounts of clay? We’d love to hear from you! The new well is 240 feet deep (the …
We’re drilling a well
We are drilling a new well on our property May 16 – 18, 2016 (Mon – Wed). A good part of our front yard will be blocked by the equipment and there will be a bit of cleanup for us after the drilling is complete, so please be patient and understanding as we tend to the …

What gate?
If you’ve boarded with us before, you are now an elite member of the “I remember that dreadful gate!” club. And yes, that means what it sounds like – the precarious 20-foot-wide wood gate that sent us to the chiropractor every time we opened it is a thing of the past! I (Brian) won’t …
New Cooling System
Today we upgraded our cooling system for our outdoor kennels by installing a new misting system. It’s approaching the hottest part of the day, and they’re proving to be much more effective than our previous system. Both kennels are occupied, and the dogs seem very content. But we wanted to see for ourselves, so we …
