ADDIES BLOOPER
The Blooper is the sign, do you see it?
It wasn't until September 6th
after the sign has been up for several months.
That a new client said to me, do you know
your phone number is wrong on your sign?
It's suppose to read "574-936-4723"
WOW! I never noticed...
I called the sign company and it will be fixed shortly.

Catching Up
I want to apologize for not having a Newsletter
since April. I know for some of you this is your
very first Addies Dog Grooming Newsletter.
I normally try to do one each month.
The reason I've not had one since April is for several reasons.
After Sandy and I made the decision to no longer breed Standard Poodles. I change my email address from jim@addiesstandardpoodles.com
After I transferred all my contact list into my new email address account, I then deleted my old email address... Well went I did that it wiped out all my email contact! Believe me I was not happy!!
That happened in May.
I lost hundreds of email addresses and many of
them were all of my Addies Dog Grooming list.
I think I've recovered most of them now
and have them all typed back into my contact list.
Then in July I got very sick on the 4th of July
and ended up in ER. And then again July 7th.
this time they admitted me. By white blood count was very high and had a fever of 103.
On the 6th. day of being in the hospital I had
gallbladder surgery.
We were closed for almost 3 weeks at the
grooming shop. Our first week back we worked 5 days, worked 51 hours and groomed 75 dogs that week. I told Sandy, I don't think that the way my
recovery. I'm glad that's all behind me and I'm back to my 100% self. Thank God!
Sandy and I would like to Thank everyone
for understanding and your patients during our
shut down. Also I would like to say Thank You to those that sent me get well cards.

"Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole. ~Roger Caras
There has been increasing awareness, particularly over the last thirty years, of how canine assisted activities and therapy might be utilized to improve the quality of life, as well as the treatment outcomes, for individuals. Historically, animal assisted activities has referred to the ‘meet and greet” programs in which animals visit patients in hospitals, or nursing homes, providing patients with an opportunity to pet and socialize with a friendly animal and handler. Animal assisted therapy is the deliberate and systematic use of animals in professional care plans, to help patients reach defined treatment goals. They are used to help normalize situations, socialize, calm and motivate patients. Dogs are particularly well suited to this work because of their long history of living and working with humans, and the ease with which we are able to train them. Some populations that have benefited from canine assisted activities and therapy include: nursing home patients, shelter residents, prison inmates, including juvenile delinquents, hospice clients and their families, special education students, including autistic children; and both acute care and rehab hospital patients.
When my Grandma was in the Nursing home, she always enjoyed our poodles
and we would take them along with us while visiting.
Not only did Grandma love it but everyone there did too!
Since my Grandma passed away we have not done that until
recently we took our Standard Poodle "Miracle"
to Miller's in Plymouth
She was a big hit with everyone!
“The miracles that happen during a visit are experienced by everyone involved.”
