July 16, 2020 - This is actually not so new anymore.  The pictures are fun to see - our buildings are very nice.  We also have large exercise areas for our adults - they get to run around every day.  This is so good for them.

Jeff and I are getting "a bit" older.  :o)  So, making things easier for us, and nicer for our doggies.  This new building was totally complete with new residents by December, 2016.  We call it our Eastwing - since it goes out towards the east - from our Groom Shop. 

Now (March 2018) - we are starting on a new place for our puppies.  I love our current building, but little by little, things need to be fixed.  New doggy doors - linoleum - and hey - we decided to just get a fresh start.  It will go out from the north side of the Groom Shop.  Everything will be pretty handy.

Stage 1: Preliminary outside work getting done.

This area will be filled with gravel - it is much better for dogs than cement.  Yes, cement is easy for people to hose down, but harder on the dogs that live on it - their joints - it is cold and takes the heat out of their bodies - when laying on it in the winter.  Gravel may be a bit more work for us, but we want to do the best for our sweet dogs.  There will be a step down from the dog doors, and each will have an eave out over the top of their dog door - so they can go outside and not be rained on, if it is raining.  Between inside and outside space - our dogs will have minimum 100 square feet - for the smaller breeds - for our Cocker Spaniels on up - there will be 156 sq. feet.  Jeff is not here for me to check these figures - so don't hold me to it.  :o)  Anyway, lots of room, in and outside.
