Now Open





Today was our first day open to the public. We had two doggy interviews and we have appointments for another two tomorrow. Multiply that by 10, and we'll be on our way to breaking even for the day. :-) But, as Hubs likes to tell me, "Slow and steady wins the race," so I will try not to be impatient.


To all the prank callers (Joe), I'm on to you.


I spent the afternoon doing marketing visits at vet offices all over town. One in particular drives me nuts. Nice vet with a great facility, but his receptionist is a total bee-atch, plus she looks like Jabba the Hut (hmmm, maybe I'd be cranky too if I looked like that).


I haven't seen much of Max this week, but apparently he's being appropriately fed and watered by Grandma. Also, I missed Steph's book club meeting. Sorry.

By the looks of this picture, I need to get a little sun.

Leah Leah Leah...there are so many things wrong with that post I don't know where to begin.

First of all, Congrats again to you. I wish you the best and I hope you make gobs and tons and gobs of money (but of course money is not important to you)

2nd of all, my calls were not pranks. They were legitimate tests of your service. The only reason you recognized my voice and called me a pranker is because no one is answering the freakin phones

You swore on casa herrera? Carramba...that was not nice, you should find that nicea Bea-tch and tell her what you said.

Third, where is your compassionate liberalism? Don't you know that Obesity is a disease? Fat people can't help but be fat (by the way adrian how's Norm doin?). Its actually your fault and that of the DNC (here i go again). The libs are always trying to legislate what is good for us because we are too stupid to decide. Prime Example, trans-fat is banned in NY City. If that became federal law, you would not have to be reminded of Return of the Jedi.

I actually saw an article / study by Duke University (no innocent Lacrosse Members involved) and it said that Obese people are less likely to die of heart disease than normal weight people. Maybe that was her strategy.? Maybe she was trying to attract college aged males (whale watchers)....

But seriously, I really wish you all the success in the new biz.

You do look like you need to get some sun!

Joe, as always, interesting comments.

We got the pix of Baby Joe and he looks sweet enough to eat. Thanks for the bi-lingual maracas. Very funny and fun too.

What about fat heads? Is that a disease too? I run into this problem most often when dealing with the public. Yet another reason why we chose dogs over humans.

---Did I leave out the part that Adrian asked me to call?
---Ignore LA, I think you are smoking hot. Besides, I don't think you are the tanning type, you have two colors. Red and White.
---U R Welcome on the maracas, I wanted a Latin theme (especially since Papa don't speak spanish). My other choices were boxing gloves and a baseball mit (obvious references here). Did you see the video I emailed you?

JMarie said...

I know Adrian told you to call. We've been getting Adrian's pranksters all week. Ain't he great?

I'll ask Adrian about the video. I have not seen it yet.

Yes, red and bright white are my shades. Max inherited my coloring with Adrian's tanning ability. He has a summer farmer tan already, despite sunscreen.

Adrian likes to say he has "vato 20 spf" and now Maxie has "vato 10 spf".

Daddy H - Help your wife out and put a stop to the pranksters!

Leah - How did the first week go? Rolling in the dough? Breaking even? Going under?

Joe - You can't ignore me!

The calls will stop once they get it right... and not a bad 96 hour start. So wont be borrowing money just yet.

Joe Joe
Thanks for the gift and being a great prankster. Once I hear from you that you have been sold and have met our high standards. Then you can call off the dogs. ;-)
