Aloha we’re Back

April 18, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

We are back from our vacation (we went to Hawaii), and within 1 hour of landing, I was already at the daycare to make sure everything went smoothly.  IT DID!  I was telling Ellen, one of our managers, that I was kinda upset because they never called us and it made me feel like I was not really needed around the daycare.  I honestly feel that because we have such great employees that they know how to run things, but I still like to feel needed :)

Today they started the construction on the new outside area and it is looking good.  It should be done tomorrow afternoon!  I put Bindi’s picture up of her outside today because she was our first doggy daycare dog, and she had to say goodbye to the old area!

Have a good night.

Cosi and Flynn

April 12, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

This week Trycia and I are on vacation so I am blogging with some of my favorite pictures from the previous week.  Cosi the french bulldog, and Flynn the golden doodle had fun playing last week.  Cosi always things she is a big dog and always finds the bigger ones to play with!!

A big thanks to our staff for making this week go very smooth!  I know I have said it before, but I really know we have some of the best doggy daycare staff around!

My Cleaning Buddy

April 9, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

The other night one of our cleaners was sick, so I filled in.  Kiko, one of our overnight dogs wanted to hang out and help make sure I cleaned correctly.  Kiko absolutely loves being around people and stuck to my side the entire night, until it was time for dinner.  Then she became distracted and decided to eat.  Kiko is one of our regular hotel guests and hangs out in the waggers way room.

Have a great weekend and enjoy some nice weather :)

Welcome Back Bella

March 31, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Model dog daycae dogA big PPP welcome back to Bella, who was one of our first Doggy Daycare dogs!  Last fall she tore both of her ACL’s and this was her first day back.  She was so excited when she ran in the lobby, she jumped up and gave a huge hug and kiss.  You can tell that Bella had some built up energy, she was a playing-fool today!

Other PPP News.  Heather just announced some new training classes that are starting soon.  Puppy and Dog Training at Pampered Pooch Playground is lots of fun and the small class sizes are a huge plus.  For more information on dog and puppy training classes visit our training page.

Roxy's friend for the weekend.

March 28, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

This weekend we went to Wisconsin to visit Trycia’s family.  On our way there, we stopped off at the Ruff House doggy daycare which is where Trycia’s sisters dog goes.  This place has lots in common with us, just on a bit of a smaller scale.  Trycia’s sisters dog, Roman, really loves going there.  They are so friendly and you can tell that he has lots of fun!  Roman passed out in the back seat of the car and slept all the way to his house.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Every Dog Is GREEN Today

March 17, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  The day started off with many of our staff getting dressed up for the holiday and props go to Jamie and Erin O for going all out with their outfits!! Then, once most of the dogs were checked in for daycare, we started to dress them up and take pictures.  We tried to dress up most of the dogs, but not everyone loved the head wear :)   If you want to see all the fun, check out our March photo gallery.  Oh, did I mention that we had Irish music on all day, thanks to XM Radio.

Have a great night.

Happy 2nd Birthday Schatzie

March 15, 2010 by Keith | 1 Comment

Schatzie, a German Shorthair comes to doggy daycare every weekday and hangs out in the Ruff House and today she turned 2.  She came in with a HUGE bag of treats for everyone!  Schatzie can be seen running all around the Ruff House and standing in the castle looking out the window.  One would think that going to doggy daycare everyday would make her tired at home.  WRONG!  She goes home after daycare and will go hunting in the backyard for a few hours.

Another sign that the warm weather is here to stay.  Today I re-installed our webcam in the outdoor play area.  We took it down over winter because the cold weather and webcams are not the best of friends.

Have a good night.

Jordan's TripI

March 11, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

The PPP staff is a very tight family and we try to support them in any way we can.  Jordan, who is one of our ex-employees is doing something pretty cool.  We caught up with him while we were walking around Lake Harriet last weekend.  He is walking from Minneapolis to Miami to raise money for Haiti.  Many of the PPP crew plan to join him on the first few miles of his journey, and we will keep in touch with him on the way.  He was just featured on the FOX 9 news.  Take a look at his interview. You can visit Jordan’s website for more information.

We are in the process of adding something pretty cool for the PPP.  I was working hard on it today, but it will not be done for over a month.  It is worth the wait :)
