As we reach the end of the year, I can't help but reflect on the Kane9 pack that I have hand-selected to provide our stellar service. I thought I'd get creative in sharing each of them with you and take a chance on some poetic creative flow. Afterall, these ladies deserve this extra effort. Hope they find it as entertaining as I do! Lucky for you all, I won't be quitting my day job; that is hoofin!

Hoofer Ann Has "Run" the Span
My first hire and here's what I admire
Her attention to the woofers and her fashionable attire
Multi-tasking is one of her many impressive skills
It is not often that you will find her standing still
She often makes a list and checks it twice
And if you know her you know that she's super duper nice
She cares for these woofers in her own special way
At the end of their time they wish she would stay
Hoofer Ann keep being you
If I could clone you I'd do that too

Hoofer Val is All Bark
She appears as tough as they come
However, once you get to know her you'll be her best chum
She has a special place in her heart for these dogs
And she will never show up to her shift in clogs
Will often spend extra time with the woof
This is one of the many reasons she is one exceptional hoof
Hoofer Val you have a special gift with capturing the moment
Did you know she's a huge animal rescue proponent?
Thank goodness you decided to retire in your early years
To that I raise my glass to you in cheer!

Hoofer Linda is as Sweet as Can Be
She feeds the feral felines in her hood
Always looking to do something good
When not hoofin she's at the barn
She would stay there all day; she doesn't give a darn
She's always willing to lend a helping hand
And when she's not, she's on Facebook taking a stand
All her woofers greet her with such wagging tails
I would buy ten Hoofer Linda's even if she wasn't on sale
Hoofer Linda you are a true animal lover
Stay with me some time as there's still more to discover

Hoofer Laura a Storyteller at Heart
Hoofer Laura has a story to share
For all that will listen and for all that really care
She always shows up with some time to spare
With a ball, a kiss, with hopes for a long walk to share
She finds humor in all that she does
And lives her life this way just because
From puppies to couch potatoes they really are so different
She spends her time so very efficient
She prefers the summer months to take her strolls
But regardless of the season she has a kind soul

Hoofer Johna has the Hoofer Gear
She starts her day with her favorite gear
And completes her look with a hoofer belt she holds dear
She carries all you could imagine that one would need for her walk
She even asked if perhaps we should wear a Hoofin smock
With her curls tucked underneath her hat with such care
She leads a busy life with not even a moment to spare
A laugh that makes the woofer's so happy
I could go on and on but I don't want to appear too sappy
You will always see a smile on her face
If this were a race she'd come in first place

The Hoofer Pack Always Remains on Track
As you can see I have an awesome bunch
I truly do mean this as we often meet them for lunch
Each and everyday I count my lucky stars
I love them here and I love them from afar
To me this isn't just a job, this is a solid pak
I must admit sometimes we get out of wack
I hope they stay with me for some time
Afterall, I just wrote them a bunch of rhymes
