Perspective... (Anaheim fire)

About 2 months before this fire Orange County Animal Services had us do an evacuation plan for the sheep. Good thinking you say? Well I would agree if they had allowed us to implement the plan. However access to the area was denied and the Sheep had to ride out the fire in their barn. Yes the plan was useless! But this was just the beginning : they also cut off the electricity making the wells which supply the property with water useless because their pumps run on electricity. What about the 11 water trucks holding 1200 gallons of water each you say? The drivers were not allowed access either.

What about the fire department? Well they did come by and tap the church's water storage (also on their own well). So the owner asked them to wet the hill pointing out that it would soon catch fire. You can see what they did about that.


To get to the point the fire stopped at the curb. It did not ouch our location! Imagine it jumped the 91 Freeway
 but stopped at the curb of the driveway to the Anaheim location. Yes, all that mattered was spared.

 

 (Anaheim fire continued...)
Oh , they did come back by 2 days later. .

 

New 2009 Class Prices...

I had waited to make a separate price category for dogs that are 10 years old or older. It started the beginning of 2008 . Many where able to take advantage of this while their dogs were still alive. During the year a few passed over the rainbow bridge. While a couple of senior dogs remain: they're just aren't enough left to justify caring on this separate category so what I have done is to make the price of a senior dog ( $25) the same as if they where a second dog, in some cases they are. A price sheet is available at class.

The price change for 2009 is the second dog which use to be $50 for both is changed to $55 or the second time the same week same dog from $22 to $25.
