Lucky Puppy Country Doggy Daycare receives many heartwarming letters, cards, and gifts of thanks from our families and even guests themselves, that we wish we could share them all with you!  Below are excerpts from a few...

from Stephanie & guest Isabelle:
"Someone once said that the easiest way to judge a person is to watch how he treats an animal.  If this is true, then the staff at Lucky Puppy must be judged as thoughtful and dedicated individuals who are truly passionate about caring for dogs.

I have been bringing my puppy, Isabelle, to Lucky Puppy for over a month now and she could not be happier! At the mere mention of the word "daycare," Belle's ears perk up and her tail begins to wag. And when we pull up to the driveway each morning, she impatiently claws at the car window to be let out so that the fun can begin!

The people who work here are, of course, what makes this daycare so special. Brenda and her staff treat each dog as if it were their own, and this attitude means I never have to worry about Isabelle; I always know she's happy and having a great time.

I feel truly lucky to have found this place and am so thankful that there are people
like Brenda and her staff who willingly put so much love and dedication into what they do!

Sincerely,
Stephanie and Isabelle"
 

from our guest Garrett:
"Dear Ms. Brenda,
I am writing to wish you a Merry Christmas! It is sooo great that I get to come over and play once a week with my friends. I have loved every minute of swimming in the pool, and getting to play with my pals while my mom and dad are at work. I have bundles of energy but you are always so patient with me. You are the best and I am one LUCKY PUPPY!
     Love,
            Garret "

from Christine & guest Gretta:
"Fellow Pet Lovers,
Lucky Puppy has been the most exciting thing that has happened to our family for our dog Gretta. Gretta is a Viszla, a “strange breed” of dog with a different unique personality. I have left her at the “pound” a couple of times before and it was a nightmare for both of us. Not only that but it is very expensive and definitely not worth it. I have had people stay at my house with her and between worrying about my house and the fact that it seemed no one really stayed here with her often enough, I decided I just would not leave her much anymore. I even considered taking her with us on trips and hotel stays . . . crazy, not fun for either of us.

When my husband, Burdett, brought me Brenda’s card, it was the beginning of a great friendship not only between Brenda and I but especially for Gretta and all of the new friends she has made. She gets exercise and swimming (which she loves). She is learning to get along and relax and I don’t think she could ever get enough love. She is excited to go and doesn’t get too worried when she sees us packing our suitcases.

She is safe and HAPPY.

I have not even mentioned the other issue which is medication. Gretta is on a fairly regulated diet and takes a pill every morning for incontinence. Every other time I have left her she has had problems with accidents when I return home. When she stays with Brenda—she comes home the same—not many accidents at all . . . . !

Oh wait—one more thing I love even though I enjoy visiting the farm—Brenda picks up and delivers my Gretta to me when I can’t get to her. I could go on and on – but will stop here. . . .

Sincerely,
Christine

Lucky Puppy has answered my prayers.  Thanks Brenda!"

from Rob & Stephanie and our guest Wilson:
"Dear Lucky Puppy Daycare Staff,
     Thank you for taking such good care of Wilson while we were on vacation. It was
so nice to see how attached he had become to your staff when we came to pick him up.  He's been absolutely exhausted since he has been home! He will definately be visiting again!

                     Sincerely,
        
             Rob, Stephanie
                     & Wilson"

from Scott & Kelly and our guest Charlie:
"We can't thank you enough for the love and care you provided for Charlie. I know he loved every moment - he's exhausted! I know he will enjoy coming back in the future and I am comforted by the fact that he is in such a fun and healthy environment!
        Love,
           Scott, Kelly, & Charlie"

from Loren & Nathan and our guest Cassidy:
"To everyone at Lucky Puppy-,
  I want to thank you for taking such good care of Cassidy when she stayed with you a couple of weeks ago. She had so much fun that she slept for about 2 days straight when  she got home! I am so happy that we have a place we can leave her and trust that she  will be safe and well-loved. Since she has returned home, we have seen a marked improvement in her doggy etiquitte - the way she approaches and plays with other dogs, and we have you to thank for that. We love the picture postcards we received and Cass will be back next time we go out of town.
With (love) + appreciation, Cassidy, Loren, + Nathan "

from Heidi and guests Hennesy & Ouzo:
"Thanks so much for taking such good
care of Hennesy & Ouzo. They had a blast!     
                                     Heidi"

from Mark & Lori and guests Spencer, Joey, and Libbey:
"Thank you so much for taking such good care if our three kids: Spencer,Joey, and Libby! I know they played their little hearts out, they haven't moved all day!! We never worried about them once in the two weeks we were gone, because they were in your care, which is superior! Also, thank you for the email pictures and postcards! They all were too cute and proved what a great vacation they had! I know they played a lot because it looks like Libby lost a pound or two, which was needed!  Thank you again for the love & care you gave them!
Sincerely,
Mark & Lori & Spencer, Joey, & Libby "

from Laura and guest Reggie:

"Thank you for the post card from Reggie! We got it right after I picked him up.
I have never seen Reggie so sad to go home! He watched your house out the window until he could not see it anymore....

Thanks so much!
Laura"

from Sandrine & Brian and guest Emma:
"To the Lucky Puppy staff,
     Thanks for taking such good care of Emma during our
vacation. we can tell she had a blast!! She will come back
to see you soon. Thanks again,
     Emma, Sandrine, & Brian"

from Wes & Patricia and guest Bud:
"Dear Brenda,

Wes and I want to thank you and your staff for taking such great care of our baby Bud. He really loves to go to Lucky Puppy. We have never seen him get so excited to be somewhere like we do when we are driving up to drop him off at your doggy daycare. We are in the proccess of selling our home in Southgate, Michigan and have made the decision to move to Monroe so that we can be closer to Lucky Puppy and Bud could go regularly to your daycare. Since he started going to Lucky Puppy he has become more socialized.

Thank you so much for making our vacations and trips more enjoyable. We go with a
peace of mind, because we know Bud is having a great time and is being well taken care of.

Sincerely,
Wes & Patricia "

from Evan & Chrissy and guest Lucy:
"Thank you for taking care of Lucy for us! We loved the postcards you sent us with her friends! We just wanted to make sure we let you know how nice your day care facility is and how much we love sending Lucy to Lucky Puppy because she just loves it! Thanks again,

       Sincerely,
           Evan & Chrissy

Thank you for taking such good care of me!

from Amy & Paul and our guest Stella:

Hello,  Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful postcards of our Stella enjoying your pool during her stay over July 4th weekend. It looks like she had so much fun!  And it's so wonderful to know that we've found a place for boarding and daycare where she can swim and play and run outside... all of her favorite things.  We're looking forward to bringing her back (and I'm sure she can't wait to come).  Thanks,  Amy and Paul

 

from Connie & our guest Sadie:
Dear Brenda, Kevin, & Staff,

I can't tell you how enjoyable my trips are knowing that Sadie Marie is well cared for by you.  Thanks for having such a great Doggy Daycare that we both love!

I can't tell you how much I love your postcards as well - they are kept in a special album for me to enjoy.

Sadie & I are lookinh forward to many more happy days at "Lucky Puppy"

Sincerely,
Connie

This is a song I sing to Sadie when we are getting ready to come & visit you.  She goes wild - jumping at the door until I open it & she gets in the car.

Set to the tune of "Tra-la-la-boom-dee-ay"

Tra-la-la-boom-dee-ay
It's Sadie's favorite day,
Tra-la-la-boom-dee-ay
It's Lucky Puppy Day.

Tra-la-la-boom-dee-ay
It's Sadie's favorite day,
Her day to run & play,
It's Lucky Puppy Day!

Dear Brenda, Kristina & all the Good Folks at Lucky Puppy,

 

Thank you so much for taking care of Maybelle during this Christmas Holiday.  She was happy, healthy & (best of all) tired!  Although it was the first time I had boarded any dog, I could relax on our trip knowing that she was in such good hands.  I hope that things are quieting down a bit for all of you.  We look forward to seeing you &  the pack soon!  Happy Holidays!

 

Rachel
