Why P'Oz

My original foray into the world of pets was part of a 15 year retirement plan.  I was working for IBM and purchased a 6 acre ranch in Polk County.  I built a 21 run kennel.  The mural on the side of the kennel was Emerald City.  The one on the front had the characters dancing up to the front door and, of course, the path from the parking lot to the door was a yellow brick road.  The kennel was named the Wonderful World of P'Oz and I was the Wizard of P'Oz.

Unfortuately, like many, I was laid off and hit hard in the 2007 economic collapse and lost my businesses and my home . I decided to resurect this name when I had the opportunity to buy out my portion of the Petsburgh business.
