Hey all,
We will be at the Bank of Montreal in Westboro on Friday from 11am to 3pm with a few doggies, information on NARC and ready to answer any questions that come our way. BMO has invited us to set up a BBQ in front of the bank, all proceeds going to NARC. It's time to join us for a Hot Dog or Burger. There is a raffle at the bank for those interested in buying tickets. Come one, come all, spread the word and let's make this a fun filled day!

6am wake up call
Yup, we have a new addition that does the "cockadoodledoo" at 6am. You guess it, a rooster has made it's way to NARC and now has his forever home here with us. See pictures below of our new addition...
Bear our newly matted arrival yesterday had 4 of us working on him today for quite a few hours but he is certainly looking less fat and very good. We are sure he is feeling better as he is now sound asleep! He had trouble walking due to his matted legs and paws but he seemed fine on his last walk which is great. He is a boy! We weren't totally sure as it was just a big ball of matts but now that he is shaved short, we found out he's a boy Ha! Ha!
Miley and her 12 puppies are doing well. Yes, I miscounted and there are actually 12 little ones! Less freaky than 11 as it was starting to worry me!!! (For those who don't know why, Moxie had her 11 pups just before our house fire so it was just too wierd for me to handle!).
That's it for now, going shopping for my house and then back again to play with the pooches - love it! Talk to you all soon and will post pictures tonight of our new Rooster and of course Bear with his new groom.
Thanks girls for helping me with Bear's groom - I know we work hard and this was certainly a very hard task and really, I don't know what I would do without all of your support! Oh I know! I'd still be grooming till midnight - that's what I would be doing without your help Ha! Ha! Ha!

Pictures!
See below pictures of Miley's very adorable puppies AND our new arrival...
Gosh, fully matted, stinky and a huge growth on his forehead. We need help for his surgery this week so if you can spare some moulah, send it to NARC, 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9. Of course this is the before picture, when he arrived tonight... we started with the groom as he had things stuck in his hair!!! Can't believe this was a release at an SPCA, that means someone was living with this dog and just left him like that!?!?!? We named him Bear as this is exactly what he looked like when he arrived, full of shavings stuck in his matted hair, tape - not sure why tape was on this dog but not even sure what else we will find once we finish his grooming!!! We gave up after over 2 hours of shaving and will finish the rest tomorrow once all the batteries are charged again. Of coure we have to shave him very short but it will grown back healthy and he will fell 100% better - that's for sure...

New doggies
Cute and friendly new doggies have arrived. A year old Boston Terrier male named Rudy, a 6 year old male Yorkie named Sushi, a 6 year old male Shih-Tzu named Maho and two puppy mill dogs, Shih-Tzu's, one female and one male approx 5-6 years old.
Of course the puppy mill doggies are a bit afraid and we have yet to find them names but they will come around. At least their tails started to wag today which is a very good sign.
Oh and Miley is doing great and so are her pups - really too cute for words. Will take pictures of the lot and add them to the blog soon!

AMAZING
Oh Miley, such a great gal and just as wonderful - she gave birth to 11 puppies - YEP 11... WOW and AMAZING! They are either mixed with Standard Poodle or Labrador as none of them look like her - 3 are pure black, 2 are chocolate brown and 6 are cream/tan almost white. That can only mean Standard Poodle - not many pups other than that breed has a mixture of these colours except for Labrador although they usually wouldn't have all three colours!! Only time will tell as to how these gorgeous pups look like when they grow up! We are so excited and happy - certainly starts off the weekend tired but on a good note.

Update at the farm
Miley our gorgeous and sucky German Sheppard is probably going to give birth tonight, she is showing all the signs of birthing!!! I am so excited and just can't wait to see her cute puppies. Miley will make a great mom as she is just the sweetest gal. She doesn't want me to leave her side so it will be a very long night for both of us! I've been sitting with her all evening yet she just stood there in front of me licking my face and enjoying her belly rubs, ear rubs and body massages!
We have new arrivals coming in this weekend, see our website later next week for updates, profiles and pictures!

Perennials, Lawnmower & Pond
If you are splitting or getting rid of some perennials - bring them to us and we will certainly make use of them at the farm. We are working on a few gardens to eventually have gorgeous walkabouts for the clients and pooches to enjoy. It only takes 1 plant here and 1 plant there but in a few years will expand and really be an enjoyable place that people will want to visit and enjoy!
We are still looking for someone to work on our old lawnmower and hopefully fix it - not to mow the lawn but at least get it working so we can use it for the parades... although if it does mow, it would be great as the grass is getting taller by the minute without a working mower at the farm!!! If anyone wants to take it and putter around with it to see if they can get it gowing, then we could splash a bit of paint, maybe stencil a dog or two, NARC's name and get it set up with a little trailer for the parades.
We need a few trades men to volunteer their time to fix our bridge over the pond, the bridge itself is very sturdy but the deck on it needs to be replaced. We have the tools, wood & equipment but are so busy with the pooches, medicated baths, medicine time, vet appointments, etc... that we just don't have the time for anything else. It was really pleasant when clients could walk on the bridge and sit there to catch a glimpse of the beaver working, ducks fishing and it would be pleasant to be able to give this back to them. It really was and will be again a really nice spot to just sit and relax with a doggy on your lap! Yup, country in the city and just amazing - really would like to get that back up and running so clients can enjoy and see what I see every day! My family started by planting flowers around the pond to make it look "pretty", now is the time to install the deck on the metal bridge!
