Community Reading Day

Lynn will be heading out to the Oxford Middle school next month for Community Reading Day. On May 2, 2008 Lynn will be reading to one class at the Oxford Middle School and discussing what we do here at Precious Furs. She was honored to be asked by the school to be a part of this exciting day for the students. She is looking forward to meeting with the children in the community. As everyone knows we are a family business and are really excited to be a part of this community outreach project.

Woodstock Fair

We are off and running again, this year to the 147th annual Woodstock Fair in Woodstock, Ct. Last year the fair welcomed over 220,00 people from all over dispite the less than perfect weather. This year looks to be shaping up to be even better. With musical acts such as JoDee Messina, Lonestar, and Smashmouth, they are sure to draw a crowd on that alone! Best of all...WE WILL BE THERE! Lynn will be grooming stuffed demo dogs, we will be having amazing sale prices on all of our regual retail items as well as bringing in some great new items. We are so excited to be a part of something this big and hope to see you all there. Oh, and of course there will be FREEBIES!

For those of you who have never been to the Woodstock fair, here is a quick rundown of the weekend... Tractor pulls, go-cart racing, food, live concerts (free with fair admission), food, sheep, cows, food, crafts, pigs, baby chicks, food, carnival midway, vendors, Precious Furs Pet Resort :), and did I mention the FOOD!

Second Chance Animal Shelter Auction

The Pet Resort will be closing at 4:00 pm on Saturday, March 15, 2008 so that Lynn, Tracy, and Danielle may attend the Second Chance Animal Shelters annual dinner auction. We have also donated a number of wonderful items to their auction including: a weeks cat boarding in one of our new suites, a weeks dog boarding, and even a full grooming including SPA treatment, as well as toys, and all natural treats. It is going to be a great night for a great cause. If you are interested in purchasing tickets for this event visit http://www.secondchanceanimals.org/ . Hope to see you there for the animals!

Welcome "Bonnie and Clyde"

We would like to welcome the newest members of the Precious Furs family, "Bonnie and Clyde". These little cuties came to the family on February 14, 2008 and have just nuzzled their way into our hearts. These two have become amazing live entertainment not only for the staff here but also for the cats they share a room with (most of which have never seen a ferret before).

With the addition of the ferrets, we would like to answer one very popular question...YES we board exotic pets! To date we have boarded: ferrets, bunnies, parrots, and even a gecko (and his little cricket friends). The staff here has extensive knowledge of many exotic pets and we love to see all the different animals our extended family has at home.

Lynn is also more than happy to groom your exotic pet. Ferrets and bunnies can greatly benefit from regular baths, brush outs and nail trims.

New for 2008

Well there is never a dull moment here at Precious Furs. Everyday we are asked a barage of questions from our clients from how often to get their pets nails clipped to what the best food is for their particular pets skin and coat. For this reason we are introducing "Pet Care Q & A". E-mail us any and all of your pet related questions and we will post the questions and responses on our "PFPR Pet Care Q & A" blog! Lynn and all of our staff, have accumulated a wealth of information in our pet care careers and would love to share it with all of you. And, if we can't answer your question, we will try to pass you along to someone who is better qualified to do so. So start those questions coming. We want to hear from you!

Happy New Year!

Well the new year is upon us and we have even more exciting things in store for 2008! We will again be taking the winter to do some upgrades to our boarding areas including new heating units (which are already in. Thank you LaChance Heating and Air Conditioning), a new coat of paint in the cold kennel, new doors for all the runs, new privacy fences for the cold kennel and much more!
Also our retail is expanding again! On top of our already fantastic selection of all natural foods and treats we are bringing in a larger selection of cat items, dog toys and even pet fashion accesories!
