We're not sure how next season will go yet.....our favorite wine show in January had to cancel & it looks like the early spring 2021 events are questionable, but we're still hoping to see you during the late spring of 2021.
A message from 'Lady Bug' the Chez Alishon mascot:
I miss seeing everybody at the festivals, but mom, dad, and I have been keeping really busy.......Here's what we've been up to since the last time I posted.
In Sept. mom & dad were sent very close to the fire line up north of us....It was really scary, the sky was black & orange, and angry like I've never seen before and there was fire everywhere......., and even back at our house the smoke was thick and there was ash falling from the sky like snow for days & days.
Next, we were sent the Evac Center to spend a week or so helping the people who were escaping the fires....that was better, but so sad because many lost almost everything they had and only escaped with their pets. There were hundreds of animals there. and nice people came from all around to bring food and take care of them.
In October, after the fires were contained. we went to a little town in the mountains called Detroit a few times to make sure the people there had clean water to drink. There wasn't much left standing, even the local fire truck was burned to a crisp, but the people left up there were so nice and came over to pet me & say thanks for coming to help us.
Things have settled down a bit now. Mom & dad are still delivering food & checking on the health of people who can't get out during the pandemic, and doing a little COVID screening when there's an emergency, but they're also trying to stay home with me and rest a bit.........sometimes they get sad because of all the things they saw last year, and sometimes I get sad because they think I don't see that their packs & boots are back by the door waiting for the next phone call, but I do see & I know what it means!
I sure hope 2021 goes better for everyone. Stay safe & take care of each other........
