Spring/Summer 2000

The bad news is that we have raised our prices effective December of 99, The good news is that for most of you it will not take effect till May 15.

Our base rate will cover the picking of ONE stall. Other stalls will be at the rate of $3.00 per stall picked.

Full stripping and cleaning of stalls will be at our hourly rate of $30 per hour

If it takes longer then our normal visit time we will then bill the additional time at our hourly rate.

For those of you that don’t fit the above or have any questions please give us a call.

This is our first overall price increase since we started and we have put it off as long as we can.

In Memory Of

We have been using the Gentle Leader on our Lab and he has gone from pulling us down the trail to walking with us. The headcollar works like a mom dog controlling her puppies by holding the nose until they behave. It does not hurt them. When the dog pulls and the nose strap tightens around the nose the dog slows down. Besides just walking and sitting the gentle Leader is also used for barkers, jumpers, pullers, lunges and begging for treats. The collar can also be used on aggression problems but theses problems need supervision from a vet or a trainer.

Now we can walk our Best Friend instead of them walking us. Call us for information or for a collar.

In the past we have put our ID tags on your pet . We will be getting new tags and will be happy to give you one at any time. As we do sits we will add them on to your pets collar. These tags have our name and number. That way if they can’t find you they will call us.

Cats: We have collars for cats which work very well we sell these at a low price. Jenny’s cat has had one for years.

Founded in January 1999, Epping-based EPONA is dedicated to the betterment of life for all horses. Twenty-four Premarin foals were rescued from an auction in Manitoba, Canada last fall. It is estimated that more than 50,000 Premarin foals are sent to auction each year and most of them end up in slaughterhouses. EPONA representatives will be attending the auction again this fall and more foals will be available for adoption.

EPONA (Equine Protection of North America) serves as a horse retirement home, as well as a rescue mission for horses who have been abused by their owners. In its first year of operation, EPONA rescued 36 horses. Most of them have been placed in new homes with caring owners. The first horse rescued, Blessed, a nine-year-old thoroughbred gelding retired from the racetrack, remains at the EPONA barn as the organization's mascot.

If you are interested in adopting a Premarin foal in the fall, providing a loving home for a rescued horse, sponsoring a horse at EPONA, or volunteering, please call 679-1896. Your fully tax-deductible financial contributions are welcomed!

Right now until August we will be doing baths, nails, and drying. Annie will come in ONLY for small breeds and clipping, that depends on her schedule. ( for those of you that don’t know Annie is expecting) The big dog baths will be done by Jenny. But we are looking for a groomer for the summer to help with baths and clipping.

We are also looking for old towels or blankets to dry off the critters. If you have any that you would like to donate you can drop them off at our office or leave them for us to pickup when we come to visit you pets. If you have big towels, small towels or old blankets to line the crates that would be great. The dogs and cats would like to thank you for the help.

Jeri joined us on November 19, 1999. Jeri lives in Northwood with her 2 dogs and 3 ferrets. She has been helping with the noon time walks and a couple of times has helped out on the busy weekends. Jeri has worked in the national park system and she has a degree in Biology and Wilderness Leadership.

Trish joined us in February 2000. Trish and her husband Mike live in Deerfield and have 2 Rottweilers, many cats and 2 horses. Trish works on some Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays. She also works as a Vet. Tech. for the Cat Doctor in Bedford, MA.

Joyce just joined our family on April 17, 2000. Joyce and her husband, Brian live in Deerfield with 2 dogs, fish, birds and a cat. News flash Joyce and family are getting a pony, Joyce will be helping during the day with noon time walks. We are still helping her around horses but she is having a good time with the animals.

If you think you will be traveling during that period please set your sits up as soon as you can. All the sits we know of will be covered and our phone will be answered and they will try to do the last minute ones but we can’t guarantee this.

There are banners at both sites and some times the deals are different. Currently there is a $10 off for new customers, but these change. Anytime you do buy from Pets.com please do so one of our site. Yes that’s right we get a little back.

We tried their service and am very pleased. We set up a repeating order for our dog food and it arrived at the door every time. Much easier then loading it in the truck. Thank you all we have enjoyed the winter and are looking forward to a busy summer .

If you have any questions comments idea’s or just want to talk please give a call.
