The adventures of Rowdy

Rowdy and his sister Roxy are regular faces around the building. Until today, I never realized how much Rowdy LOVES water! Heather had the dogs outside playing with the hose, and Rowdy loved every minute of it and we made a video of the fun. Rowdy and Roxy's parents are very active with the Minnesota Boxer Rescue and they also run their own pet photography business and Trisha and I are having a photo shoot soon! Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

All ready for the 4th!

Ellie the beagle checked into the PPP hotel sporting her 4th of July collar. Ellie loves to get dressed up for all the holidays!

We are all set for a busy weekend. Today Trisha and I did lots of last minute things to make sure everything is all set for the busy, busy weekend.

Oh, we have a cool new treat for the dogs in the lobby! Check out the new doggy ice cream that we have for sale, it is all natural, and the dogs LOVE it.

Have a good night!

Puggle Craziness

Today, we had a bunch of puggles at dog daycare, 4 to be exact. In the picture are mugsy (left) and Chloe (right), but not pictured are Lucy and Ralph. We really wanted to get a picture of all the puggles together, but try getting 4 dogs to sit next to each other and not move. So we gave up on that idea and I figured it was easier to hold them. The thing about puggles is that they get distracted very, very easily and can't stay still. So this was the best picture we got. Anyway, they had a great time today.

Have a good night.

Sarah Beth Gallery Show

Last week, you might remember me talking about Sarah Beth Photography, and their gallery show they were having at Scoopy Poo. Well, if you missed all the fun, Jay from Fetch Delivers put up some fun pictures from the event on their blog. Click here to see them.

More soon!

Jack

Jack, loves to come to daycare, and he has been known to spend a night or two in the Hotel. He loves to run, play and then rest on the table in the room!

Good news for Ari, our foster dog from Pet Haven. Today she found a family that is really intersted in her. I love seeing our foster dogs finding a great home! The hardest part about fostering dogs at the daycare, is that you get really attached to them, but knowing they are going to a good home really helps!

Have a good night, we are going to go take Roxy on a walk around the lake since it is a little cooler tonight.

a busy week!

Today I was busy getting ready for the busy weekend. As expected, we are full for the holiday weekend (we filled up about 3 weeks ago). This means that I have to use any down time to make sure everything is all ready for the weekend. Today, I put together some brand new suites in our new overnight room. They look great, and we will be adding more of them tomorrow. I feel bad on days like this because I don't get to spend as much time with the dogs or customers as I would like (if you really want, you can pick up a wrench and help put things together, haha).

I figured I would blog about one of the smaller dogs that comes to doggy daycare. Syd is a miniature Australian Shepard. Syd's dad is the brains behind Topline Canine, which is the shampoo and conditioner we use in the grooming salon and what we sell in the lobby. This shampoo is great!! Speaking of which, it is time for me to give our dog Roxy a bath so she looks good for the 4th of July!

Have a good night.

Come meet Cosi.

Cosi is one of the regualr daycare dogs, who comes almost every day. So we figured that she would be the perfect dog to help represent the PPP at the Twin Cities Pride festival. Cosi was a big hit there today and she did a great job meeting and greeting everyone. An now a shameless plug for Cosi's mom. She is a hair dresser at James Lauren Salon. So if you are looking for an amazing hairdresser with a really cool dog, give her a call at (612) 920-9591 and say you want to have Cosi's mom, Michaela do your hair.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

So Many Boston's today

Whoa, today we had a bunch of Boston terriers at the daycare. On an average day we might have 1, but today we had 4! Jack, Dante, Kimbo and Edie (in the picture). They all played great! I spent a good part of the day getting all of our stuff ready for the Pride Festival that is this weekend. If you are attending, make sure you stop at our booth #4084 which is right behind the basketball court. We will have plenty of water for the dogs, and some special pride goodies for sale!

Tonight, Trisha and I went to Sarah Beth's gallery show at Scoopy Poo. It was a great turnout and she showed off some great work!!
Have a great weekend!

Beer with your buddy

Tonight was the first time this season that we were at Beer with your Buddy. It was a great time and the bubbles were a HUGE hit. It was great to see so many of our dogs out there! I was talking to one dog owner and they were shocked that we limit the number of dogs that come to play each day and that we have been full almost every day since the beginning of the year. I told him it is because we have great customers, and they are like a little family to us ;) The next beer with your buddy that we will be at is next month. Join our email list and we will make sure you stay up to date on all the happenings.

That is all for now, we have a big weekend planned and are getting all geared up for it.

Take care.

We're TV Stars

Did you see us on the FOX 9 news last night? If you missed it, click here to watch it.

Another hot day

Yep, it was another hot day outside, but once again all the dogs stayed nice and cool inside playing. We also used all the pools and water outside and all the "water dogs" loved it! I really don't know how some daycares in our area can go without air conditioning. YUCK!! Ellie (in the picture) was one of the dogs that loves being in the air conditioning. Heck, Ellie loves the air conditioning almost as much as she loves her different bandannas!

Tonight is a big night for the PPP. We are going to be on the Fox 9 news talking about pampering dogs! That was a subject really hard for us to talk about :) If you miss it, I will have a link to the video online tomorrow.

Stay cool tonight!

The adventures of Lucy

Lucy, who is one of the regular faces around the daycare, was so excited today when she got back into the play area because Willie was there! You might remember from a few months back that these 2 are boyfriend and girlfriend, well they were reunited today in the small dog play area. They wasted no time running around and playing with each other. We even caught them taking a nap together.

today was a really warm day outside, it was about 85 and really, really humid! Good thing our play area is air conditioned! We had a great group of dogs that loved playing outside in the pools and with the hose today! Lots of fun!!!

Have a good night.
