Update!

WOW! The last several weeks have been a blur! Here's an update in 90 seconds or less:

• Wheeling Home and Garden Show was a huge success! We met so many wonderful people and saw some old and new friends! Thanks again to Blue Ribbon Rentals for the sweet flat screen!
• We took Nike (our Blue Heeler) to the Home Show as a commercial for the 2 Heelers that are currently in rescue (Duke & Dexter). We've bben showing them all week. Looking good so far. Hopefully we will choose homes for them this weekend.
• We almost sold out of puppies at The Perky Puppy! We were down to 2! Yes-you read that right-TWO! Had to make an emergency trip out on the road, visiting breeders who weren't expecting us until next week. Thankfully, some pups were ready to go, so we are back up and running.
• Play N Stay has been rocking since Valentine's weekend! CRAZY!!
• Our groomer has been a grooming fool! We need her to grow two more arms, so we can double her up! That's a very good thing!
• I'm still not caught up from the Home Show...I need a Personal Assistant who will work for Dog Food...he he he...
• Vanessa has been sick for 2 weeks, but hasn't missed a beat. She's a champ!
• Ness is filling out a survey about pet stores. We are laughing...how many days are we open? How much in annual sales? How much is the average ticket sale? HA HA HA!!! We are WEIRD...aren't we??? Good thing they don't ask how much money we really get to keep. That would be BAD! No questions about how much fun we have...Why is that?
• We've taken in several rescues in the last few days. Look for updates soon. Many are special needs.
• We've got a real sweetie in the rescue named "BlackJack" that needs a family with kids. He had a family that couldn't keep him. He misses them terribly. He is lonely. We're trying to keep him happy, but he is grieving. Could make me cry.
• That's it. That's all I've got. More soon...

Thank you!

Donors

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to:

Dr. Marvin & Michele Steed have made memorial donations to The Lucky Puppy in honor of "Kodiak & Molson" Bean, "Chico" Olexa, "Keia" Donahue, and "Otto" Blazier.

Janet Richardson, and her dogs "Frankie" and "Freddie" also made a contribution to The Lucky Puppy after their recent stay at Play N Stay Pet Camp.

Thank you for your generosity!

THANK YOU!

A big "Thank You" to Amanda Keesey (as well as her dogs, Cooper and Jake) for the bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, and Bounce!

The rescues very much appreciate it!

We're going to court...

Well...they must've thought we were kidding.

So, we have 3 different families who have adopted dogs from The Lucky Puppy who don't want to comply with their adoption contracts.

One hasn't spayed her puppy (pup was too young to spay when it went home), so she is facing a $250. fine (agreed to in her contract).

One hasn't neutered her puppy (same deal as above), and is facing a $250. fine.

And one refuses to call me back and I am unable to confirm that their new puppy has received veterinary care. According to their adoption contract, they are now required to surrender the dog to us.

Certified Letters have gone out in the mail. The spay and neuter deadlines have passed with no action on the part of the new owners. The one who is refusing to communicate has a few days left until their deadline.

Then...we're taking them to court. I expect people to keep their word when they sign an adoption contract that is detailed about these issues.

We're serious about this stuff. They apparently thought we were kidding.

I'll keep you posted.
