Need Something to do Today?

It is a beautiful day out today, are you looking for something to do? Why not pack a picnic basket and head to Vernon. Silver Star Mountain's is in full bloom with colorful wildflowers. With the two wetter than normal springs and early summer it has created a the lushest display ever. The slopes this year are full of tall white cow parsnips and blue lupines. There is also a great display of red Indian paintbrush, bi-colored columbines and mauve mountain daisies and the tall deep purple monks hood delphiniums are just starting to bloom. So head up to Silver Star Mountain and check it.

Everyday Hero Dr. Moshe Oz

A Kelowna veterinarian and his staff are heroes to a young Vernon boy and his puppy Tasha. Kolby received a mastiff puppy for his birthday present after getting her home it seemed that something was right with the puppy she was lethargic, but the family thought the puppy was just missing her siblings. After four days they took to the local vet and she was diagnosed with parvoviral enteritis (parvo) a serious and often deadly disease. 

The family immediately contacted the breeder to ensure that she would receive the treatment she needed. They were in no position to take care of the bills themselves, only to find out the breeder was in no position to take care of the vet bills either. The breeder call the SPCA asking if they could take the puppy and provide the treatment she needed. The SPCA took the puppy and rushed her to the nearest vet where she received treatment. Dr Oz and his staff provide the 24 hour care that the puppy needed  to save the pup life. When he learnt the family story he offered to cover all the medical costs to save Tasha's life on July 26th the healthy puppy was reunited with her family.

Thank you Dr. Oz! Dr. Oz and his staff are located at the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital.

Air Conditioning not working?

Yesterday we dodged a bullet as Don put it! The A/C died on the weekend at the rental house, our tenant calls in a panic as he has company and they are melting. So first thing Monday morning we are on the phone looking for someone to come out and have a look at it needless to say we can't get anyone. Steve talks to the guys in his office and Don Sheets of Pro-Temp Mechanical Services is recommended to us. Steve gives him a call and he fits us in.

Don comes out and has a look, the A/C was froze up so he had to turn it off and return the next day as there was no way it was going to thaw in a couple of hours!! To make a long story short it had froze up due to a dirty filter, which had been changed but not soon enough!
Don gave us great service was there both days when he said he would be, actually early the first day. He is a kind and friendly man along with his son.

If you are in need of a Air Conditioning or Heating Specialist please give Don Sheets of Pro-Temp Mechanical Service a call at 250.862.6724. Don services the areas of Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton.

We have added Don to the list of people we would recommend.
