Yesterday we received a call from the people at the New Haven Advocate -- WE WON!!  Thank you all for your support & for electing us 2008's Best Kennel.  Although the official printing is not until May, we'll be going into New Haven next week for an interview & photo. We feel so privileged to have this honor bestowed upon our little business.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We've received many emails inquiring about the 2008 Best Of Poll... Many of you had difficulty attempting to vote. Apparently we were a hair too late in sending out our 'call for help' & the polls closed (with out warning!).  I don't know if we were able to log enough votes, but I'll let you all know when the New Haven Advocate prints the result in the May 17th edition!

Thank you to all those who tried... we'll get them next year!

I forgot to mention, Chompy would also take a dip in the pool to get a drink.  I just thought that was so hilarious.

We're home from Aruba & back to work.  We had a good time, but it's good to be home!  I was sick for the 1st 2 days from a poor food choice at the hotel buffet.  After that things went much better! (no place to go but up after that!!!).

Above picture was a daily occurance (we named him Chompy, as he mistook my step daughters finger for one of the crackers we were feeding him).  He would come when called in the afternoons just like one of our cats! (I can't stop feeding animals...even on vacation!!)

We're still taking reservations for February & April school vacations.  Call early to get the suite of your choice.  Mandy did a very good job in our stead, but it's good to be back & to see all my little kitty friends again! 

We will be away from the office & unavailable from 1/4/08-1/14/08.  During this time all clients who had pre-arranged reservations will be serviced by our competent fill in (Vet tech) who will also be living at our home to care for our boarders 24/7.  Prearranged reservations are those reservations set up prior to our departure... absolutely no later than 1/3/08.  Thereafter, your requests will be addressed upon our return on 1/15/08.

For all clients who have reservations during that time, please contact our fill in directly on the personal cell# given upon check-in or over the telephone when you made your reservations.  Our fill-in will be happy to answer your queries about how your cat is doing or to change/adjust departure date/time.  No messages left on the main office phone will be fielded until our return 1/15/08.

We are still taking reservations for February school vacation & all requests will be handled in the order in which they were received (either via telephone message/email/web based request form). 

Thank you for your understanding while we're unavailable during our yearly vacation!
