Various construction projects started or continued this week. A new section of fence was installed outside of the soon-to-be new door out of what is currently Little Dog Village. Once the new door and window are installed it will be possible to get from what is currently Little Dog Village to one of the large yards up and behind our building. More to come…..

Workers were busy today pressure washing the outside of our building so that workers can paint the building next week and stain our fencing. The pressure washing was the reason the doors to the outside were kept closed this afternoon.

Our commercial dryer is now in Nashville. We expect it to be delivered to OFSDS next week and the beginnings of installation will start. The dryer will be the easy one. The washer will be a much more complicated installation and be accompanied by water/sewer upgrades.

And lastly…..

The bummer this week was that we said goodbye to sweet Hazel. Her mind was gone and her body was so tired so Wednesday we made the decision to let her go. She weighed just 21.4 #. Reception isn’t getting empty but we certainly have been losing the core of our original dementia gang. The sweetness level in Reception took a big hit this week.
