The other 8 miraculously survived and are now healthy <br />due to the great efforts of Dr. Dan Hartnett of the Long Lake Veterninary ClInlc <br />and his staff. Our thousands of dollars of vet bills are finally going to be <br />covered by our Insurance company. Police Chief Kllbo's Investigation of the <br />Incident was unable to produce any arrests and we have been thrust into the <br />limelight as being the only boarding facility in the nation on record to have <br />been the victim of strychnine poisoning. As a result, our misfortune has become <br />a .earning experience for all /bnerican Boarding Kennels Association members <br />country. We have been asked to 'speak at our next annual meeting on this tragic subject. <br />The question we have been asking ourselves and the question of the day in the <br />kennel industry these past months is “What can be done to protect ouf.selves and <br />the pets entrusted to us? What do we do to allow ourselves to feel comfortable <br />nere again and to continue to provide the service this community needs?" <br />In our situation, the best answer to this question is to design a kennel facility <br />completely secure and thus eliminate the <br />possibility of outside tampering. So the past months have been spent viewing <br />other kennels, talking with kennel building specialists and working with our <br />architect and landscape architect to develop what we feel is an excellent. <br />in the 6 1/2 years that we have been here, we have always tried to be goou <br />nelghtors to those around us and in the design, construction and use of this <br />building will continue to do so. Attached are our plans which deal with these problems. <br />member <br />f r> .1 <br />i <br />/ <br />* <br />r i] <br />■ir!" <br />■«! <br />> <br />11 K »• i\ <br />V <br />c ; : <br />r <br />.r • <br />/ <br />Page 2 <br />These are the <br />With the <br />best and <br />Hiring gi <br />2.
