Spring Break Hoo-Rah!!

Spring Break is nearly come and gone for 2010. I am happy to report our Best Friends facility ran with a pretty full house. Is it a sign the economy is improving or just that every one needed a break from reality for a while? Either way, we hustled and bustled our way through a very busy couple of weeks. In just a few more days it will all be a happy memory. We had big, little, hairy and the not so hairy, with a mix of everything in between. We even had several of the feline variety! Between our daily routine of caring for them we were kept hopping with a variety of play time activities. We like to keep your pets happy and *smiling* when they stay with us and the more playtimes they get to enjoy the happier they are. Keeps us all smiling too as we enjoy taking them out to play as well. We also got lots of pictures of your pets during their playtimes. I hope you all received and enjoyed them! Some are easier to get pictures of then others (hey just like us some are camera shy! They know it all adds 10 pounds too!) but we do our best to get their sniffing schnoozes off the ground. Sometimes though that tracking DNA in some of our guests is just too hard to concur.

Many of our Spring Breakers went home with our *go home fresh bath* as well. Don't forget we do have the full service grooming salon so they can go home smelling and looking their best. Not only does this waive the noon pick up time but it also waives your boarding fee for the day. All you pay for is their grooming services (Sunday's excluded, which is a full day charge reguardless). Besides the bath, dry, and brush out they also get their nails trimmed and their ears cleaned. We have a host of other items you can add to their grooming list if you would like. Just ask one of our lovely CSR's for the options when you check in!

If you have an unruly friend or just one that needs a little touching up please keep in mind we also have our Board and Train option available. Board your pet with us and our trainer Kristi will work with them while they stay. This Spring Break we had 8 guests who took advantage of this program. We worked on everything from heeling on leash to the LEAVE IT command to OFF, and working on one young boy who had some pretty severe fear aggression going on the first few days. In the beginning no one else was allowed to handle him, by the time he went home he loved everyone!  

Now that we are about to bid adieu to Sping Break we are getting ready for Memorial Weekend. We expect this to be another full house weekend so don't wait to long to make your reservations. We want to be sure we have space to accomodate all of you. Call and reserve early and don't forget to tell your friends about us if they have vacation plans as well. We have the *first night free policy* for all of our first time guests.
