Countryside Boarding, Grooming and Doggie Daycare

When I was in university, the only computer on the campus, was in the library. Needless to say, I wasn't very computer literate, nor did I have any interest in becoming so.

As time went by, it became obvious that these computers weren't just a passing fad, perhaps I should think twice about learning some computer related skills.

In the 80's we dealt with DOS operating systems, which were very dry stuff. There were some new "games" starting to be available with a certain amount of animation, that made them exciting. However the home computers, lap tops, smart phones, operating systems etc. of today are so incredibly advanced from that time; not to mention the Internet, WiFi, bluetooth; the list of innovations is endless.

I don't have the skills and speed of the generations that are being raised with technology, but I think that I have kept up fairly well. I use a computer for business, carry a smart phone and can text, email and surf the web with the best of them.

My most recent foray into the technological abyss is social networking. One week ago today, I signed onto Facebook and put up a page for Countryside. Talk about a learning curve, it's just gone into hyper drive!

 I invite you all to join us on Facebook; bear with me in my learning curve,it's a whole new frontier!

I'm sure that it's my fault, but my dogs are picky eaters. This is almost astounding actually, considering that they are Labradors.

Many years ago I began cooking their food for them, and they love it (I top dress their kibble). The dogs that I currently have, will accept regular fare on occasion (If I would happen to run out of home cooking) but will quickly turn up their noses  should I try too often! Really they are Labs, a breed that I once believed to be the food hoovers of the dog world. I have a young male, McGregor, who takes "picky" one step further; treats. He will accept very few treats, he will take the treat very carefully in his mouth, then equally carefully, as though not to insult you, will allow the treat to drop from his mouth. The exceptions would be dehydrated sweet potato, those wonderful chicken strips, Barkery treats and of course any yummy human things (french fries and ice cream especially)

He is a wonderful taste tester for our store, I know if Mac will eat something, generally you can count on it to have wide acceptance.

I always wonder then, when I find my dogs crowded under a tree eating something nasty, or in the field rolling in something dead, how that fits with picky?
