All is perfect at the funny farm!

We are all doing well, new doggies have settled in nicely and are about to get their first baths this weekend! The new house is looking great! The framing is almost done and I can't wait to move in although it will only be finished sometime in March, early April. With the new laws soon coming out, NARC is expecting to double it's numbers - this mobile home will be full of yip-yaps - can't wait to see that happen too!! Spring is around the corner, we will need help with new fencing, installing doggy trap doors, finishing the renovations in the mobile home to get ready for the many new doggies that will join us! If you know of anyone getting rid of commercial fencing, posts, cupboards, couches - let us know as we will need them come April-May - not before as we don't have the room just yet. We are all looking forward to a great year and hoping to see growth, wealth and happiness for all the doggies and volunteers that join NARC.

Finally have water - forevery we hope?

We are back up and running full force, water is on and working well. New doggies have arrived, we have water to bathe and properly care for them. It was a tough week and a half without water for the rescue and farm animals but we thank eveyrone who lugged water to us and helped in our crisis! The house is no longer as stinky Ha! Ha! We are catching up on our laundry and washing our pooches!

Business Proposition for a Veterinary

Are you a veterinary looking for a place to practice but find them too expensive to rent? We will have room very soon... If you are a vet looking to open your own shop, look no further - come meet with us and see if we can help each other out. I am sure we can figure something out such as maybe having free rent in exchange for work on our rescues - one day a week is pretty much all we need! Spay/neuter, rabies, DHPP, dental cleaning & extractions, hernia removals, microchip, etc... I am willing to invest in this if you are! Give me a call at 613-834-7005 or e-mail michelle.mayer@narc-charity.ca.

Another complicated weekend

Still no water although we are working on getting it fixed. What a year, I tell ya! Hopefully everything will be OK by Wednesday!? Luckily we have good friends, volunteers, vet techs and my parents across the street which have been lugging water daily and helping out. Contractors busted a few pipes (twice), water line froze (twice due to the busted pipes), broken phone lines (twice) and now the pump wire is snapped!!! So, friends and I are fixing the lot of it - Again and Again! The phone line is now up and running so that's a bonus on it's own. Showering somewhere else every night - that's another story but hey - at least we are fine, the doggies are healthy and happy and get tons more attention from our worried volunteers/friends/family! What is there not to like but having a household full of funny furbabies and people that love and support you! I guess I can't ask for better or anything else. I was saying it was the year from hell!!?? Maybe... but then again, I'm spoiled with THE BEST OF friends and by friends that definitely means NARC's volunteers. I love you guys and don't know what I would do without you! You are my ROCK.

House starting, Hell rising!

Well, although it's been a year and most people have forgotten that there was a fire where I not only loss my own pets but also all of NARC's gorgeous furbabies... The house is now starting to build! It's supposed to be a good thing right? It has been a really rough year and even now, our bad luck keeps on going - just like the duracell bunny - hum! Hopefully when the Chinese year ends in February this will all change, we were anticipating good luck for the new year and now have changed to hope that the Chinese year end will be best. Still no water for our pooches - 2nd time since the house started - week before x-mas and now this week. Send us your good wishes - we certainly need it otherwise please call and book me a room in Brockville - I think I'll need it soon Ha! Ha! Yup, even with all of this - I still am hopeful. Any maids out there - although you have to bring your water - this house is starting to be "stinky" without water to clean - YIKES!

Farewell my loves!

One year already - can't believe how quickly it went. I miss you my loves - wish you were still with us although I am sure you are in a very good place. God Bless and even if it has been a year, there is not a day I don't think about you and miss you tons! Rest in Peace my furbabies!

Quite a few pooches need help!

We have a few doggies that need the extremes, dental work, teeth removal, spay/neuter and the list goes on. They will surely need antibiotics, pain medications, dewormers, multi-advantage, etc.. AND they certainly need a few good baths - stinky pooches!! We know x-mas is coming but if you can spare a few dollars, please think of us! Either mail or drop off your donations to NARC, 4388 Navan Road, Navan, Ontario, K4B 1H9 or to our vet, Trim Pet Hospital, corner of Trim Road and Innes Road - at the Sobeys strip mall!
