I'm going to start right off with 2 exciting announcements! The first is a Cutest Pet Photo Contest! Its being conducted by the CL!X Portrait Studios in conjunction with Lollypop Farm. I really like this contest because no matter what, you end up with a free 5x7 picture of your pet! You take your pet into CL!X now thru 2/17. & they will photograph your pet at NO COST to you and you get a free 5x7! They are asking for a $5.00 donation to Lollypop Farm, but it's not mandatory. Then, the picture goes up on a website beginning Feb. 22nd thru March 1st and people go to the site and vote for the cutest pet. There are 4 categories: Dogs, Cats, Small animals and Exotic pets. The top 16 winners (4 in each category) are then given to their national advertising agency and they pick the winner on or before March 15th. The winner receives free 4x6 prints from their digital camera (up to 50 a month) for a year and is on their national ad campaign! I know everyone of my fluffy buddies are the cutest and we could have a winner! So give CL!X a call to make an appointment and let’s see if we can get a winner! There are 4 locations: Greece 227-7240; Henrietta 292-1660; Irondequoit 338-1260 and Victor 425-1690. If you don't enter your pet, be sure to go to www.clix-rochester.com on Feb 22nd and vote for Macy or Shey! I have cards with all the phone numbers and information on them. If you would like any to hand out to your friends or co-workers, give me a call.

The next is that I now accept charge cards! Only MasterCard & Visa at this time. Now you can to tell your parents to make vacation plans since they can charge my services! What a nice winter we've had until this week. I sure enjoyed it but I suppose a lot of you haven't gone away since there's been no miserable weather to get away from. It's been quiet and I miss seeing my fluffy faces out there.

Oops- I guess 3 announcements --- On December 3rd, Macy joined my family! She is 2 years old, long-haired German Shepherd Dog, and she came from a rescue group in Ohio. She is just adorable and is fitting in very nicely. I thought Shey was going to be overjoyed when Macy walked in, but he actually was very upset! He was extremely attached to Max and has been depressed since Max died and he wanted him to be home, not some other strange dog! So he ignored her and refused to come into the same room she was in for almost a week. But, then he finally gave in and now they are about inseparable. I laugh because they get going "fighting" and my husband will yell at Macy to leave Shey alone, but it's Shey that's beating up Macy! I've had to step in a few times and stop Shey from hurting Macy!! hahahaha - They are very cute together.

Sadly, I've seen some "for sale" signs going up in front of some of your houses and you guys are leaving the area. I don't like seeing you leave and it saddens me to loose my fluffy buddies, but you have to go with your family. You know I love you bunches and like nothing better than to spoil you, but I would appreciate that if you are moving away or for some other reason will not be using my service again that you tell me. Not only is the issue of costs to mail out the cards and gifts, but also the choices I need to make of adding new clients.

Speaking of new buddies - I have added some in the past couple months. I do not have pictures yet to post - I was trying to get them ready, but when the CL!X contest came along I wanted to get that information out asap to you. So pictures will be coming along soon!

Always most sad are the ones that have passed along to Rainbow Bridge. Some of them had passed a few months ago and I just found out over the holidays. I feel bad I didn't know and they weren't mentioned prior. I learned that Cagney had passed over the summer, Peaches left not long after my Max. I knew she wasn't well last I saw her. She was such a sweet girl; I will miss her terribly along with her mom Carole. I was devastated when Connie called to tell me Lolli had passed. I saw him quite often and he was very special to me. He was one that was scared and hid from people, so it was always extra touching when he ran to greet me at the door. After loosing 2 of their family members last year, it was very sad that Dawn passed also. Dawn was the one I thought would've made good puppies with Max, had they not been fixed. She looked a lot like Max, but was bigger - yes-Dawn was bigger! She was a shiloh shepherd and was as sweet as can be and spent my whole visit velcroed to my side! Dear Sam, what a cutie! It must be the name, because like my Sammy, Sam had to run to all the dishes to get as much canned food as he could leaving his brothers to eat the dry! Melody told me my dear Spencer had died and I was broken hearted. He couldn't wait till I turned the faucet on so he could drink from the sink! Then at Christmas I found out that both Snuggles & Sweetie had passed in the prior year, but that Spunky had joined the family. Oh I will miss Marty, one of my special needs kitties. He was a great boy and another one that completely stole my heart. Dear goofy Brandy - I only watched her once but she was such a joy & she kept me laughing. When I see her sisters soon I will miss not having Brandy's antics too.

Hope I get to see you soon!!! Until then -
I LUV U BUNCHES!!!
