February 26, 2010
Such a glorious day! We got a pass on the huge storm that has pummeled everyone else and are enjoying 40 degree sunshine!
And, I got to play with the dogs this morning - how can the day start better than that?
Artey, Indi and I all ran a bit. Artey got a little excited and started his bull-terrier excited nipping and jumping. Amazing how high he jumps on those little legs.
Gambit, Sparky and Brady all ran around for awhile, leaping over each other, tugging on one another, chasing, tackling, generally being boys!
Gambit and I had a little snuggle session too - such a love!
First, Brady tackles,
then tries the fur tug.
Gambit prefers loving to all that wrestling!
Peaches and Hermione enjoyed a fast run, racing each other to the end of the yard and back a few times before sniffing all around.
"When do we get to go???"
Jules is just heading out with Jackie, a Bouvier! If she's able to get some pictures I will add them tomorrow.
Other goings on today:
Honey, our resident Golden, got a nice tubby from Leslee.
Misty & Lily wait patiently for their walk
While Milo and Bailey say, "Aren't we cute? Can we join the fun?"
February 25, 2010
Some updates on some of our boarders:
Betsy thinks Gambit "is just a cutie!" and reports that he is doing great!
Sparky and Brady are now "regulars" and they always enjoy their visits! Playing with the other kids, getting some special love from the girls. Who could ask for more?
Bailey U. and Milo have become BFFs (Best Friends Forever, for those of you not up on the texting lingo of today. I'm not really either, but oh well!). Both truly have fun together. Milo actually prefers his buddies over us! We had him hanging in the back hallway and our offices and he kept going back to the kennel. Very funny!
Brandy M. is doing and we sense that we may have a new cutie couple with Indy and Abbie P. Love is in the air as spring approaches!
February 18, 2010
My apologies for the delay in boarding updates, but what a week it has been! We hope everyone has enjoyed their vacations; we sure have enjoyed your four-legged kids! As always, thanks for sharing them with us.
Brutus and Buddy race around the yard. We make sure not to get in
their way - we would just be a mere speed bump on the way to their
destination!
Our new friend April introduces herself to Magic. She's 14 years old, never boarded anywhere before and did just as well as some of our "frequent fliers" do. I think it helped that she made such a good friends with her beagle buddy Magic.
Newcomer Jesse runs to see what Crosby is up to.
Bella is hot on her heels!
Sierra hangs in the back hall with us, getting the
special treatment older gals like her deserve!
Hildie, our beautiful girl, loves her special one-on-one time, as does Wilson. Both are doing great! Cinnamon continues to enjoy her yard time, and gets bigger every time we see her! She started with us as just a puppy, a big one, but just a babe, so it's fun seeing her fill out and grow up.
Nick and Mack are next door with their buddies Mackenzie and Baker. Our day care crew has just as much fun boarding as they do in day care.
February 16, 2010
Bailey enjoys a game of fetch with her buddies Milo, Gambit, Sandy, and Bella.
Our other resident Bailey tells Ginger, "Last one to the ball is a rotten egg!"
Chester prefers the "slow and steady wins the race" form of exercise to Boswell's "run and pass out" method.
Artey continues to rule the roost, hanging out with his friend, Carrot.
He LOVES the Fire Plug toy - so do we because it is
virtually indestructible!
Gabe says, "We were just in the middle of a snooze and
you woke us up for pictures?!! Fine, our press is
always hounding us!"
"Would you prefer the tummy look or my side view?"
February 14, 2010 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!
Lily says "hello" to Nelson. She was a great tour guide
and got him settled in in no time.
Henry works on his herding with Barney. (I don't think
Barney knew he was being herded - he's such a happy-go-lucky guy).
This was one fast-paced game of tag with Cali, Gambit, Bella and
Noah. It went on for about 20 minutes until...
Noah crashed. End of game.
February 12, 2010
A BEAUTIFUL day here! It is nice and warm and the sun has us all wagging our tails!
Crosby and Kona are very funny in the yard, enjoying themselves soooo much that they play deaf when it is time to go in!
"Who? Us??? You can't possibly be calling us to come in!"
Cinnamon, Maggie and Sadie Mae enjoyed a girls' romp together. Cinnamon and Maggie area lso bunk mates right now, but love having the company of Sadie Mae.
the girls
Henry, Foxy, Max, Budda, Diddo, part of our small dog crew, were joined by Barney and Nelson. Barney and Nelson are great diplomats representing the bigger dog crew.
Henry loves his Foxy!
Scout and Artey found love in the air (Scout actually sent Artey a super cute Valentine this week when she found out he was in).
Dax and Quark are back for another visit - we are very excited to have them again! Miss Zorro though! Can't wait to see him again!
Maddy is sitting in my lap as I type. She is still a bit nervous, but loves being with us! Her training is a work in progress, but I think the more comfortable she gets being in the kennel, the better she will do!
Maddy knows where the treats are!!!
Rovie says, "Oh, come scratch me please!"
February 11, 2010
Oh, what a crew we have! Carrot (a.k.a. Kirsten) decided she needed a break from office stuff and took a group out to play this afternoon.
Artey and Ruby play in the snow
no trick photo here - Milo looks like he is getting
ready to donkey-kick! But in reality, Milo would never do that!
Barney, King of the Ball Fetch
Nick says, "Oh, I'm a happy, happy dog!"
Sophie and Newton are exasperated and
want the camera to stop so they can go play!
February 8, 2010
Everyone is doing just great! Rovie and Puss-Puss and Meek-Meek are doing wonderful in the kitty room. Puss-Puss loves to purr when we come in to say hello!
Our boy, Artey, came in yesterday, and loves to pull us around. Whenever we need Carrot, we just have to find Artey and she is right there with him.
Tank, Max M., and Ruby are all just great!
Joining us today: Mr. Milo, Angus & Munson, and Foxy - yeah! While Maddy is joining us for a two-week board and train. Can't wait!
February 5, 2010
Our girl, Bella, came in yesterday and is already enjoying her time with her pals in day care. We tell her all the time that her mommy loves her. (We also tell her how much WE love her too!!!). Because she loves day care so much, there are more pics of her in day care than in boarding.
Lots of regulars coming in today. Quark and Dax, Rovie the cat, and Ruby. Tank is also coming in today. Should be a fun weekend here!

Baron and Gala get some loving from Carrie during their playtime.
Hunter and Barney have joined Gala and Baron for some Golden romp time. Buddah and Ditto say, "Carrie, will you throw the ball for me?"
Leslee's dogs, Boone and Lakota, are with us while Leslee has some time away! Boone loves Carrot and seeks her out for some ear rubs!
Neesa is going tomorrow - so sad! She is such a love. We will certainly miss her.
Lily and Misty, also part of our Golden crew, are having fun. They prefer private play times to the group sessions and are really enjoying each other's company.
Kai, Jake and Nikki, the boys (all from different families) round out our small crew of boarders today.
February 3, 2010
It's a lovely day for a romp in the yard. Gala, Nikki, and Kai are having a blast out here in the snow. Nikki loves his time in the snow. He loves to snack on it while he walks.

Miss Honey, who is actually residing in day care because of all the attention she gets, is doing beautifully. For those of you who don't know her, stop by and introduce yourself, but please, no cookies! Her tummy is a bit finicky when she gets too many.
Colby takes extra special care of her when he is here, walking her around the yard and making sure she gets lots of love.
This is the face that can earn a thousand cookies!!!
Wonder when this groundhog will ever not see his shadow so we can enjoy an early spring?!!
The weather is more mild today though, so we got to play, play, play!
Sparky and Brady went out with Neesa, Sophie, Newton and Barney. Sparky seemed to find Neesa quite attractive, if you know what I mean!
Sophie and Newton bounced around trying to get everyone to play with them (and I do mean bounced!). Barney just wanted to play ball, but was quite the gentleman when Neesa also wanted to play and took off with his ball! She is very spry for an old girlie!
Baron and Gala are on their way out to the yard as I type. Neesa is already whining to be back with us, her humans! Definitely spoiled and we've had a blast doing it!
Kai says, "If I stand here
looking so shy, will you take me out too?"
Sparky wants to know when
he gets to see Neesa again!
Such a fabulous group in the kennel right now - we may ALL have to go out and have a group play time.
