gasp gasp!!! Busy busy around here, just sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee for a bit feels like a luxury. Pet Hotel is super busy, all kennels are occupied, including the one overflow kennel (which is meant for overflow in between picking up and delivering when reservations overlap). Sept. will be less busy, time to start some fix ups then. My Pet Hotel needs a new roof and we have to replace some of the wooden deck platforms in the kennel runs. Kinda hard to do when the kennels are full so those jobs will have to wait. I contacted a contractor for an estimate for the roof but its been about 3 weeks now and he hasnt shown up. Might be time for a new contractor... and so it goes. Mosquitoes are considerably less around here but the horse flies are still plaguing the horses. Seeing signs of Fall around here too, spiders are very active, cool nights (love those!), some changing of colours on the Poplars and so on. We will be putting in a new horse pasture on the front acreage, electric fencing has been ordered (Horse Guard fencing) but will have to wait until MTS does a wire check. Our hot tub got wisked away by a Dealer a couple of weeks ago but we made the investment in ordering a new one, to arrive early September. We wont be going on vacation for a few years based on this expenditure. We thought long and hard on this expense but decided it might be a good investment for re sale of our ranch in future. Its a energy efficient model, slightly smaller than our old one. I bought the original one as a stress reliever mainly for me, I considered it a business expense. As running a Pet Hotel as I (we) have for 19 years, taking holidays ourselves has mostly not been an option. Soaking in that tub first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee was a nice beginning to what often was a busy or stress filled day. Speaking of busy, time to get to work again. Have a great afternoon everyone :)
