Long long story short: We had taken our dogs to this kennel an hour away from our home, since local…read morekennels were full during spring break. Within an hour of returning home after drop off, we were informed one of our dogs escaped and we had to go back to try and call her back. We decided to leave our other dog there for her to track back to. After 3 days of the stress of her being gone in the wild, and after numerous social media posts of her missing, our family friends who run the Macon County German Shepherd Rescue and their S&R dog "Nose" tracked her down and rescued her... a second time. This same rescue had rescued our pup and her siblings when they were abandoned babies. The kennel workers DID attempt to help in various ways, even driving to our home to retrieve a scent article for the rescue dog. They even refunded the fee for the escaped pup and brought our other dog to our house when we returned home. All ended fine. A special thanks to ALL who responded, put out flyers and attempted to search for her. We have a great local community! Please DO NOT contact this particular kennel with negative comments. This likely was an accidental event and they seemed to attempt to do what they could, despite all the stresses involved. Thanks to them for their attempts to lure her back. Again, please DO NOT bother the kennel with any negativity reactions, they attempted to do what they could. Thanks.

Rippling Water Kennel is a hidden gem! My husband and I traveled for 2 weeks and had to board our…read moredog, Meg. I was very concerned about boarding her for that long, but we went to see Rippling Water and it was clear that the animals there were being well taken care of. David talked us through everything, explained their philosophy that they let dogs be dogs, why they do not let them mix with unfamiliar dogs, and the routine that Meg would have. Most of this I already knew as I had read up on their web page and checked their reviews. I felt very reassured that they were good people that were more than capable of caring for our Meg. Peggy and David's grandchildren helped at the kennel while Meg was boarded there. They sent me pictures of Meg in the play yard with the boys giving her lots of love. I could tell from the pictures that she was content and happy. They also were very responsive and reassuring when I would check on how she was doing. I always got a follow-up picture as well. I have had to leave Meg for a few days at another kennel for work trips, and we always had to let her adjust back to being home and feeling secure that we weren't leaving her again. This time was like we never left, there were no noticeable adjustments that she had to go through when she returned home. She was not on our heals for every turn we took. As a matter of fact, when we got back from our trip and picked-up Meg, she was better behaved and adjusted than when we left her. Peggy and David know dogs and dog behavior, and they do what is best for them, which I attribute to routine and predictable times for needs to be met. We will only use Rippling Water to kennel Meg in the future.

WHAT AN INTERESTING STORE FOR BIRD LOVERS!…read more This was such a cool store for bird lovers and those wishing to invite them onto their property. They have bulk seed, cds (for urban dwellers who don't often hear the natural sounds of birds), books, houses, squirrel proof feeders and other accessories. The feeders are great and come in varying sizes. They also have those that are designed to keep squirrels from stealing the seed. While these are cleverly designed and entertaining to watch, (video demonstration), they seem a bit cruel. I love squirrels and to watch them just fly off the structure and hit the ground is uncomfortable. Yes, I understand that they are resilient and uninjured but it is still awkward to watch. They do have several options, some are just sensitive to weight and will collapse if the squirrel jumps on the surface. The one that I thought was too much, actually scared me when I touched the surface. It made a very loud noise and immediately started to rotate, (aggressively). If you have a friend or family member who loves the sounds of birds chirping, they have a really cool, very authentic CD that replicates the sound. It would be the perfect stocking stuffer. I really appreciated their reading room which consisted of many books on the subject of birds and a comfortable chair to sit and read. The ladies in the store appear to be genuinely passionate about birds and they are very knowledgeable and helpful. So if you need to know anything about the proper care for your bird, this is a great place to visit.

Seems like a popular place, which I can understand after visiting. There is a really cool old historical water wheel. Sometimes it's running. Sometimes not. Apparently people hide painted rocks here on occasion as well. No pets allowed though sadly.
