Goodbyes and Hello's

John Hemenway Photography
 
when adversity hits, for when the storm
clouds come in, the eagles soar while
the small birds take cover
 We are ever so sad to report that our good buddy
Squeeze Cheese Larry  has made is way
across the bridge.   Larry has been a guest here
at Canine Country Club for years and we are terribly
sad to see him go.
Click HERE to read more about why we call him
Squeeze Cheese.   We will miss him.
 
 On a Happy Note, we would like to introduce
you all to Harley.  Harley is a five month old
vizzla mix and he has started joining us
at the Doggy Day Care.
 It's one of my jobs to show the new kid
around and to help them settle in.
I am a natural at the job.  I don't get paid
like humans get paid, but that is ok
I do it because, well the young ones are kind of
nervous when they come the first time
Someone needs to make them feel that this
can be their home away from home



If ya have 90 seconds, I'll show you how to make new friends
feel relaxed and comfortable in a new environment.
 
Have a good day
Bert

We're sorry to hear about Larry.

We were a little nervous when we watched the video. Harley's head could have fit in your mouth! LOL. It was funny when you lay down and Harley just kinda lay on you. :)

Val said...

You seem to have the midas touch when dealing with the new kids. Loved the video :)

Hey Bert,

So sorry to hear about Larry :(

Dude I think maybe you should get paid for being such a perfect host AND mentor to the young ones - that looked tiring!! :) Love how you both were just lying down for a bit with him on top of you!! You guys didn't even notice the other dog walking past! :)

Have fun,

Your pal Snoopy :)

Harley is so lucky to have you, Bert. Learning good manners when young is so important. Otherwise you end up like our Fernant, sweet but sometimes dangerous because he doesn't know when to stop.

So sorry to read about your friend. We also lost a good blogging friend, Titus, yesterday. It's one of those times.

Woofs,
Tommy

Bert! You are just the best host to new guests. Mom thinks you are perfect! Well, except for that whole eating stuff thing - butt then I reminded her about when I ate the 3 dozen frosted sugar cookies and turned green and went to see Dr. Sarah and barfed all over her!! Seriously, you were awesome with Harley. Ruby thinks he's really handsome with those pretty green eyes.

Please give Larry's humans a kiss from us...

We are sad about old Squeeze Cheese Larry. But he was much loved and well cared for. Run free Squeeze cheese. And you are quiet the welcome waggin' Bert. It was to much for me I had to leave the room. You young pups and your pull at each other games. Call me when Harley wants to know about sticks.
Blessings,
Goose

We are so sad to hear about Larry. He was one of our favorites at the kennel. His name totally fit him and made us laugh. Larry will be missed.
As usual, Bert, you are doing your job and making the youngsters feel right at home. That is why you make the big bucks -- or at least that is why you should! oh oh Maybe I should't give you ideas!
