Jimbo and His Loving Home

I was so lucky to have spent time with Jimbo and his amazing family. I love getting to know my clients on a deeper level and I cannot put into better words what Jimbo's mom, April, had to say about him and the family's relationship with him.

"Jimbo is Home. After a long day away you just want a place of peace, which is Jimbo. A warm bed to climb into, and Jimbo is the perfect companion. Laughter to ease the stress from the day and that's Jimbo and his quirky tendencies. Four walls to protect you from the chaos of the world and that is Jimbo in his eagerness to protect those close to him."

The Hartzell family gave Jimbo his forever home, unfortunately it will be short lived due to cancer. It was evident to me how much this family loved him and how he just belongs with them. Protector of his family, dad's best friend, Blu's pal, the kids' playmate, mom's gentle giant. 

"As a home it's the one place you want to be at the end of the day, and that is Jimbo to us. Our safe place, place we want to be when our world is falling apart, the place we want to be when we celebrate all our successes. He has been a rock in the short time he has spent in our family. He has seen us through a very tough deployment and our joy of being reunited, he has seen us through the death of a parent/grandparent and has been the strength that got a few of us through that troubled time."

My heart overflows with sadness for this family through this tough time. However, my heart is filled with joy knowing how much Jimbo is loved and that he was able to find his forever home.

Julya's Canine Camp

This was such a fun hour for me! I had the opportunity to play with pups at Julya's Canine Camp and hang out with the owners Julya & Chris Lanberg.

What can I say about this place? Its clean, she's super engaged with them and friendly, and the pups have a blast! Bring your fur baby to her camp to socialize, run around, and have a trustworthy place to board them when you go on vacation. When you go on vacation, your dogs go to! Check out the fun I was able to capture!

She is hosting a open house this weekend for you to check out her facility and meet the staff. May 6th & May 7th from 10am-3pm. There will be grilling, a bounce house, and raffles!
