    A lot has been happening on our home front!

    Where do I begin??? Well, I guess the beginning! Some of you might recall that I have a dream to start a doggie daycare center. Well last week we went to check on a couple places. All the buildings we check out seem to be too high in rent or lease cost. They are going for around $1500 and up. Then a friend said you need to check out this piece of property.

    To make a long story short, we did and it was perfect! Instead of leasing we will be buying if everything works out. The land has a house on it that currently brings in enough to cover the cost of mortgage to purchase the property. Then there is enough land to build our own building on and have it designed to our desires! There are so many things that need worked out yet but we are beginning the process!!!!! I am very excited! We will be doing doggie daycare, obedience training, agility training and grooming to start!

    Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next month or so since we are going to be doing the legal stuff necessary to start a partnership (my girlfriend and I). We also need to raise the necessary money to put a downpayment down to purchase the land and the building. We have about 1/2 of what we need already and will be actually looking for silent partners to invest the rest of the downpayment. Right now I believe this is destined to be and it feels like all the doors are wide open. I am hoping it stays this way but there are many things we still need to get done and figured out before the dream really materializes!!

    Good Luck Dixie, if anyone can make a success out of this venture it will be you. I wish we lived closer, you would be the only person that I would trust to board Perry and Daisy, if we ever did board them. Of course you know we are wishing you the very best of luck that it will all work out successfully for you and your friend.

    By the way Dusty will be dog of the week next week at FTLOD.
