"If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater. . . suggest that he wear a tail." - Fran Lebowitz Well as the year comes to a close my staff and I would like to thank all of our loyal guests who come to A Diamond in the Ruff! We LOVE all our pups and really enjoy them all!! I also enjoy coming to work every single day (of course the dogs make us all feel that way), but I have the BEST staff and I want to thank them as well for a wonderful year!
- Stacey our full time day care "mom" is so sweet with all of the dogs, but don't let her size fool you - she won't take any crap either! She knows all their personalities and spends all her time with them! As many of you know Stacey had a "ruff" year because she broke her arm playing Women's Professional Football (YES! I said football - defense even)! She came back like a trooper and is now healed - I think the dogs love had something to do with this! YES - she is starting up another year of football - keep your fingers crossed for her! The dogs are so attached to her and I think she's just as attached to them!
- Avery who started with me as a bather is now a grooming assistant and is grooming dogs on her own! She is also an equine student at Becker College and LOVES all animals! She comes to work EVERY DAY with a smile on her face ready to have fun and learn! I'm very proud of her accomplishments and look forward to her "nothing gets me down" attitude every day! She is great with all the dogs and you can tell how much they trust her!
- Kelly is our newest addition - working double duty you might say...she comes in every morning ready to greet the dogs and give baths, then she shifts gears to take over for Stacey and do the afternoon daycare "mom" shift! She LOVES the dogs and has a very gentle, soft way with all of them. She has tons of dog experience from volunteering in shelters and working in veterinarians office and is great at reading the dogs body language and a knack for knowing what they want!
I look forward to watching our little company grow and I hope that you as clients would like to grow with me and my wonderful staff! I want to wish everyone a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!!!
Dawn
