Leslie Grinnell, President of Eddie’s Wheels was kind enough to provide a general reference letter to me as a part of launching Cavalier Cottage B&B. Here are some excerpts:
“Pat’s passion for animals fueled her interest in the work of Eddie’s Wheels, where we manufacture custom wheelchairs for disabled pets. As a friend and colleague I can attest that her care and concern for her family of rescued dogs and cats is exceptional.
Eddie’s Wheels enjoys a worldwide reputation and people come here from great distances to have us evaluate their pets for wheelchairs. One of our challenges is that there is a paucity of dog-friendly lodging convenient to Shelburne Falls. At my request, Pat created Cavalier Cottage, a dog-friendly lodging close by, Having worked here, she understands the special needs of my clientele and we are extremely grateful that she has been willing to provide lodging for our far-away clients. Her place is beautiful, wheelchair accessible for dogs, and being on a country road, a great place for disabled pets to learn how to use their dog wheelchairs.”
In my own words:
“I am excited to be opening Cavalier Cottage Bed and Breakfast which allows me to combine my passion for animals and meeting new people, combined with the business experience gained from operating three of my own establishments over the past 15 years. My “partnership” with Leslie and Ed Grinnell, has and continues to be a wonderful experience for me. Thanks to them and all the crew at Eddie’s Wheels.”
