PCSA certifications!!-- & Kenl 2

whoa!!!---- I'm hot on the topics here but my mind must be in high gear. Congratulations to three newly PCSA certified folks here at KENL INN. Shawna & Jodene both recieved their Level 1 certifications and Sheri recieved her Level 2 certification.

And, as a quick update to the construction process in Kenl 2...... floor out, floor down, framing all done and walls to go up this week........ work on the exterior of the building will begin I'll bet and we've picked out some colors and materials to go into the finished product. Gonna do some foot work this week on some of the final touch type things just in case they need more time to get ordered or something but things are moving well.

Nebraska Brittany Club

While I was blogging about the Easter Bone Hunt it reminded me that we really went from one event into the next this w/e. Friday night the Nebraska Brittany Club's Specialty show was held here at K.I. They spent the day out in the field doing field trials and then ended up in our daycare building for their conformation show. A good time was had by all and they were the ideal guests!! We would welcome them back any time and hope that they feel the same about us and our accomodations!!

Bunny Hop

whew!!........ I think I've just about recovered from yesterday's event. We again held our annual Easter Bone Hunt yesterday and I'll tell you the response was overwhelming!! We had dogs, kids, and owner's (of both) crawling all over the place. That 'ol 'rabbit' just could hardly keep enough bones out there for the masses. Mother Nature was the bomb!!--lovely, lovely day!! We had the MotherShip Mobile out for some baths, Jax collars were there to sell some really cool new stuff, we gave lots of tours & information, people played in the new astroTurf play yards and in the agility field on all the equipment and lots went out on the trail for a hike!!Thank you to everyone that came. We hope you had a good time and enjoyed the fun ...... and most of all, enjoyed just being out w/ your dog for the afternoon. We have lots of good ideas about what to do next so we hope you will be watching for the next event.

It was a great event and we have a ball doing them but.....On a side note to that.........we were reminded of how childish and self-centered adults can really be. RACING to get the freshly dropped bones.....(after they already have an entire sack full) and / or whining & complaining about not being able to find enough bones??? (next year I think we might just have a private time for those under 4 and over 60!!) GAWD!!!.---- THIS is why we work w/ PETS!!!

Out w/ the old-In w/ the new!!

Well, last week, things just seemed to happen faster than fast............. Permit for the new Suites was had, the old floor is gone and the new floor is down. (old floor having been slanted just so, so that fluids could drain easy as was the standard 20 years ago) Believe it or not, it was cheaper to "throw away" the old floor and poor a new one than it was to just level out the old one! I'm told, that yesterday they brought in all the material for framing the walls and that the framers will start in today followed closely by the electricians. The old garage door is coming out this am and new framing for the outside will start soon. Anybody have a use for 3 very usable single stalled garage doors??? I know where you can get them pretty cheap!
