The New You

Our talented groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, was here last Thursday to give her usual clients their summer looks, and she also went to work on our latest arrival, blind Mabel the Poodle mix. Alayne took these photos after Lori finished with the crew. In the photo above, that’s blind Sophie the Dachshund (freshly groomed herself) and blind Bugsy checking out Mabel.

We’ve had a dickens of a time getting Mabel to hold her head up for photos, so here’s Lori holding her for Alayne:

Shelter Challenge Underway

The latest round of the Shelter Challenge has begun, and because the first contest this year was a beta? under their new system, those results aren’t really official? meaning we are still eligible for first prize in the current state contest. And cash prizes are back, so if we win first in New Hampshire, we could win $1,000. At the moment we are well ahead in New Hampshire, so your votes are adding up! Please remember, you can vote every day. This contest runs until August 9th. Thank you!
