Lobster and Benson

January 31, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Today I was in the Waggers Way dog daycare room for a few hours and I caught Benson (French Bulldog) and Lobster (Golden Retriever) taking a quick nap next to eachother.  The nap lasted about 4 minutes, but it was still really cute!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Make sure your reservations are in, some days this week are close to full!

We are also very busy getting ready for the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl.  Details will be out soon, but this will be something you will not want to miss.  You can join the fan page on Facebook.

Our spa and grooming department was really busy today.  Tami groomed a bunch of dogs today and they all looked amazing.  Addi was one of the westies that went home looking great! More information on our spa and grooming services is available on our website.

Have a good night.

An old foster dog

January 12, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Drake the foster dogToday was a great day at dog daycare.  This morning when I came in I looked at the list of dogs with reservations and Drake and Zoe were on the list.  As some of you might remember, Drake was one of our first foster dogs for Pet Haven and Zoe is his sister.  Drake was fostered with us for about a month and got along great with all the dogs.  Drake is also 3 legged!  Drake was so excited to come in today, and everyone really enjoyed seeing him!

Pepper is our current Pet Haven foster dog and is looking for a great home!  Ash, one of our managers put together a great flyer for Pepper.  Feel free to email it to anyone that might be looking for a dog.

Have a good night

Speaking of employees…. The PPP holiday party is this Sunday night, and late pickup will not be available (we close at 6 on Sundays).

Eloise

December 4, 2009 by Keith | Comments Off

Eloise, the westie is all ready for the Holidays.  Yesterday she came in for doggy daycare wearing her favorite winter bandanna and she also has a snowman t-shirt that she enjoys wearing. Today it was fun being with some of the bigger dogs, watching them play outside in the dusting of snow.

Speaking of the Holidays, this Saturday we have pictures with Santa at 2 different locations:

- Fetch Delivers form 11-4 at their warehouse in N.E. Minneapolis.  Trycia and I will be at this location. We are asking for pet food donations to benefit the Pet Project.

- Pampered Pooch Playground form 10-1. There is a $10 cost, and the money raised goes to the Minnesota Boxer Rescue.

For more information on these events, just visit our events page.  No reservations needed, just show up.

Have a good weekend.

Penny Lane and Jude

November 30, 2009 by Keith | Comments Off

This past weekend, 2 Shar-pei’s spent Thanksgiving with is. Penny Lane is the tan one, and Jude is the black one. Jude gets really, really excited when I walk into the daycare room, he is the first one to run up and say hello! Once you start petting these 2, they don’t let you stop. Over the weekend, we were sitting on some of the equipment in the Zen Den and Jude was right there next to me.  It takes these guys a little while to open up with new people, but the minute they open up, they are all love!!

Today, we sent out a friendly reminder to make reservations for the holidays. We are 99% full for the 25th, so hurry and make that reservation.

Have a good night!

One FULL hotel

November 27, 2009 by Keith | 1 Comment

Yesterday (Thanksgiving), I went to work to check on everything and make sure everything was running smooth, which it was.  Our hotel is full and they were so behaved yesterday and had tuns of fun playing on Thanksgiving.   I spent about 6 hours with the dogs yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it, and I know that the dogs did as well.  On the holidays, we are closed for drop off and pick up, but for the dogs staying over it is just a regular day of play.  Many other boarding places in the Twin Cities have ver limited play hours on holidays, and we did not think this was fair for the dogs (or the customers, since you are paying for it).  We would much rather pay our staff a little more, and make it a regular day for the dogs.  Yesterday,  Ash, one of our managers brought out the bubbles and Jackaroo really got into the fun!  Watch the video below.

Dog Daycare DogsToday we spent most of the day making sure everything is ready for the Thanksgiving weekend.  Our hotel is full and we went through today to make sure everything was in place for all of the dogs checking in.  If you are looking for boarding between now and January 1st make sure to make a reservation ASAP, since we fill up fast.

Are you on our email list?  Did you get the email with our Black Friday deals?  If not, they are on our daycare page.  These deals are good on Friday, only.

In the picture, are Duncan (mastiff) and Mila (Australian Sheppard mix).  They took some time out from playing to rest next to each other.

Have a good night.

New Collars

November 20, 2009 by Keith | Comments Off

We broke the news earlier this week on our FaceBook fan page, but there are a few new Bella Bean collars that are now for sale in our lobby.  Bella Bean is a great company, that we found when Trycia and I were on vacation in San Francisco last fall and decided that it would be a great addition to our retail area.  Roxy, loves her collar and leash set.  In addition to the Bella Bean line, we also have a great selection from Dog Gone It and Bark ‘n Biscuit (which is a local company).  We can order any of the collars in different sizes, so just ask if you would like something else.  There is no cost for a custom order.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Naptime with Otis and Sadie

November 19, 2009 by Keith | Comments Off

Many of you will remember Otis the great dane who comes to doggy daycare every day.  A few weeks ago, Otis got a new pug sister, Sadie and yesterday was her 2nd day at doggy daycare.  At first she was a little shy, but then she really came out of her shell and opened up!  Yesterday, Jamie took a great picture of then napping together!  For the first part of the day, we had them in different play rooms, and when we brought them together for lunch, they got so excited to see each other!

Have a good day!
