In the beginning of February my Molly had an accident in the backyard and her right hip popped out of its socket. We had it put back in and kept her away from the other dogs for several weeks. She wasn't allowed to walk steps, so we had to carry her up and down the three steps to the backdoor. She had to be leashwalked - we had to be careful so she wouldn't tear that fragile tissue again. 2 months and 5 days later, coming up the backsteps, her hip popped out again. My world just about exploded! She was screaming in pain and - of course - it was after hours! Thank Goodness, I had an injectable sedative I could give her. The next morning went to the vet and Molly had hipsurgery. I just checked on her and she is doing fine. I hope nothing like this ever happens again!
But, there is always good along with the bad. I had my very first on-line order yesterday. It seems there are more 19 year old dogs out there then any of us know. This one doesn't want to eat, so a friend gave the owners some of my Peoplefood to try. The dog loved it and they placed an order. I went into overdrive and got to the post office 5 min. after closing time. Thankfully, the man who works there is also a fan of the food. So he stayed longer and processed my shipment so it would get onto that evenings truck. The people got it within 16 hours of placing that order. How is that for customer service? I am so very happy and excited. Let this be the start of something big!
This morning I had a very interesting and informative conversation with Anora from www.clearsightpublication.com . She is a very smart lady and gave me some good tips on how to get the business going. If I can follow through with everything we talked about, I should do great. She offered to publish an article about my business on some sites I hadn't heard of and I gladly took her up on it. I am learning that I can't do everything by myself and if there is a willing hand - grab it!
