Barley goes to the groomer

March 22, 2011 by Keith | Comments Off

barley goes to the dog groomerOne of the nice things about owning 2 pet related businesses is that they work together very well.  Barley, wanted grooming, and Tami was not available today at the PPP, so we were able to fit him in at Bubbly Paws Dog Wash.  Barley played in doggy daycare until 11am today, then we drove him over for his spa services.. He quickly made friends with Kallie who works there, she played with him until it was time for his grooming, and then when he was done, we took him back to the PPP to play with his friends at doggy daycare.  Barley had fun with his field trip today!  I love when we are able to work together like this!

Those of you that are our friends on Facebook will notice the new picture I put up of Cash.  Cash is a Golden Retriever / Newfoundland puppy that belongs to Keri,  one of our employees.  I thought it would be fun to put up a weekly picture so everyone can see how much he has grown!  He is now a ball of energy!

Have a great night!

Roxy’s & Bindi’s Messy Walk

March 19, 2011 by Keith | Comments Off

Lake Harriet, Minneapolis,mnWe just took Roxy and her BFF Bindi around Lake Harriet.  What a beautiful day for a walk, but what a mess!  There was so much melting snow, water and mud everywhere.  About 1/2 way through the walk I told Trycia that we needed to head to Bubbly Paws Dog Wash to clean them up with a self service wash.  Even if we did not own Bubbly Paws, I know that would have been our next stop!  When we got there, it was busy with a bunch of dirty dogs in the tubs getting clean!  Bindi was our first doggy daycare dog, and she really is Roxy’s best friend!  They love to hang out together and get really excited when we get them together!

Have a great weekend!

The Twin Cities Puppy Bowl is Back!

January 12, 2011 by Keith | Comments Off

Twin Cities Puppy Bowl logoGet ready Twin Cities.  One of my favorite events of the year is back and bigger than ever; the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl!  Last Year Pampered Pooch Playground was a main sponsor of the event, and this year we have moved aside, and let our other business, Bubbly Paws Dog Wash sponsor it.  Also part of the event are Sarah Beth Photography, Sidewalk Dog and Just Paws Training.  We will be filming all the puppy cuteness this weekend and it will be released online very soon!  Look for some pictures this weekend from the filming!  Most of the puppies featured in the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl are available for adoption from local rescues.  As we always talk about, one of the core values of Pampered Pooch Playground is to give back to the community in which we are located and this is just one way that we do it.  If you want to watch some of the puppy cuteness from last year, you can watch the video on the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl website.

Have a good night!

I got my hair did!

french bulldog at doggy daycare

Cosi started coming to doggy daycare when she was a really young puppy and now she is 2. Cosi LOVES doggy daycare!

We try hard to support the customers that support us, and one of the is Cosi the French Bulldog’s mom, Michaela.  Trycia has been going to her for the past year to have her hair done, and today was my first trip to see her!  She did an awesome job (not like I have lots of hair), and the massage while you get your hair washed was amazing!  So if you are looking for a new hair dresser give a call (612.926.8689) to the Julia Bretey Salon in Edina and schedule an appointment with Michaela (she will tell you all about her upcoming wedding!)

Ok, so this whole blog post is not a huge commerical, here is what else happened…. I spent about 2 hours running some new eithernet wire (how fun is that) for our computer that is in the food prep area.  This computer was running on WIFI before, but our doggy daycare software ran too slow on that type of connection.  Most of the afternoon was spent dealing with the contractors for Bubbly Paws.

Starting Friday, it’s Roxy’s 12 days of Christmas… Details tomorrow on our Facebook page.

Have a fun night!

Tiko and Jack

November 4, 2010 by Keith | 1 Comment

Today Anna one of our doggy daycare staff snapped the priceless picture of Tiko and Jack.  Jack (the one under Tiko) is a regular at doggy daycare, and Tiko is a regular face in our pooch hotel.  This might be one of the funniest pictures that I have seen in a long time.

AS some of you might know, Trycia and I are busy working on opening Bubbly Paws, which is a self service dog wash and dog spa which will be located in St Louis Park.  Today I put together a video to show off what it will be like.  It is on the front page of bubblypaws.com.

Have a good night.

What a turnout!

September 11, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off
Linden Hills Woofstock

Everyone loved the PPP Photo Booth!

Wow!  What a turnout today at Linden Hills Woofstock!  I am not a record kepper, but I would say it was the busiest year yet!! As a Linden Hills resident, I really love to give back to the community in which we live which is why this is our 2nd year sponsoring it!!  On a weekly basis we visit many of the stores in Linden Hills and really do call it our backyard and Woofstock is a great event!! We had an “old school” photo booth at the event, and everyone LOVED it!!  We also had the warm water dog wash with all money raised going to the Pet Project.

Those of you who came out to Woofstock might have picked up on something new that Trycia and I have in the works.  If you walked down the street, outside the Dunn Brothers you might have noticed a dog wash called Bubbly Paws and it was staffed by PPP employees.  Well, we are starting a self service dog wash that will be located at Excelsior and Grand in St Louis Park.  The construction has started and everything should be completed by November 1st.  We are very excited for this new adventure.  This does not mean that the PPP will take back seat, and we will still be at the PPP just as much as we are now.  The PPP will always be run as a family business where you know the owners and get a warm “home like” setting.  This will be just a fun new adventure that we can do on the side.  It was funny to watch peoples reactions when they saw me standing behind the table.  We did not want to mention this to anyone yet because it was not a “done deal”, but it is official and it will be pretty sweet!  We also have something in the works for all of our loyal PPP customers when Bubbly Paws opens.  Details soon :)

Ok, time for a quick nap, then we are off to see Wicked!

Have a good night!

This weekend Pampered Pooch Playground is the “Top Dog” sponsor of the Linden Hills Woofstock.  This is one of my favorite dog events of the year an this is the reason we are sponsoring it 2 years in a row!  Woofstock is actually one of the reasons that we moved to Linden Hills!  Stop out at the Pampered Pooch Playground booth and have your picture taken in our “old school” photo booth.  We are also sponsoring the warm water dog wash with all the money raised going to the Pet Project.  While you are there make sure you stop over and check out all of our friends businesses.  Bubbly Paws Self Service Dog Wash, Modern Life Photography, Sidewalk Dog, Sarah Beth Photography, K9- Connection.  All of these are great LOCAL business that we love to work with.  Make sure to stop over and say hi, and pick up some of the goodies we have :)
