Locally owned and rated the best dog daycare in the Twin Cities.
Ina spent the day playing in the Ruff House.
I swear there has to be something in the water at the doggie daycare? 5 of our employees have gotten engaged in the past 3 months! Seriously how crazy is that? Now most of the talk has shifted to wedding planning around the building. One of employees even found the feature that The Knot did on our wedding.
What else is going on? I am glad that the holidays are over at the PPP and that things are back to normal.
Hope you have a good day.

Bindi was lounging in the Canine Cove yesterday while at Doggy Daycare.
I still think back almost 3 years to April 20th, 2008 which was the first day we were open for doggy daycare. At 6:45am a lady walked in with her dog, Bindi and Roxy got really excited to see her and they started playing in our lobby! Roxy and Bindi quickly became best friends!! For the first year and a half, Bindi came to doggy daycare every weekday. When Bindi spends the night, she stays at our house since Roxy is her best friend. Bindi has been staying over the past few nights and it is really funny to watch Bindi and Roxy try to squeeze onto the couch with us!
Have a good day!

This past week we were shooting some video clips of our doggy daycare and hotel guests! I just edited it together and we are proud to present the latest Pampered Pooch Playground music video… It’s a Good Night @ the PPP. Enjoy!

Komo can often be seen hanging out in the PPP break room or wearing his reading glasses!
Wow, what a year it has been at Pampered Pooch Playground. Right now I just want to take some time and thank our wonderful staff for a great year! Without them the PPP would not be what it is!! We have so many employees that work so hard behind the scenes that never get the credit that they deserve!!! I really think that it is our amazing staff that sets us apart from the other doggy daycares in the Twin Cities. On that note, I am really sad to announce that 2 of our staff will be leaving us this weekend.
Rebecca is one of our playground staffers that has been with us for almost 2 years. She is in her final semester of grad school at the U of M and does not have the time for the doggy daycare and her studies!
Erin has also been with us over 2 years and is one of our managers and mom to Komo who is often seen hanging out in the break room with his paws up on the door for attention! Erin graduated from the U of M last spring and finally landed a great job for a local clothing company!
I am personally really sad to see both of these ladies leave us (even though it is for a good reason)! I really think of all of our staff like family!!
Again, thanks for a great 2010 and get ready for an even more fun 2011 with all of us at Pampered Pooch Playground!

Otis the great dane and Sadie the pug love nap time!!
Those of you that have been reading our blog and following us on Facebook most likely have seen the pictures of Otis and Sadie napping at doggy daycare. This time, they have been boarding in our pooch hotel and have to always be together! Sometimes we will put them in the Canine Cove which is where the smaller dogs go and it is so funny because Otis towers over all the other dogs, but he really loves it in there. These “naptime” pictures happen all the time, this is how they nap everyday when they get tired. So cute!
Sorry there have not been lots of blog posts lately, we have been really busy with all of our hotel guests and making sure everything runs smooth during our busiest time of the year.
Have a good night.

Roman LOVES his tennis ball!
This past March, Trycia talked to Jessie from Stray Dog Arts about painting a picture of her sister’s dog, Roman. Jessie told us she was so busy that she could not promise to have it done by Christmas, but would try her hardest! Last wednesday Jessie dropped off the painting off at Pampered Pooch Playground and it was AMAZING! She truely captured Roman and his LOVE of the tennis ball. I wanted to post a picture on our website that minute, but Trycia’s sister reads our website and Facebook page. Christmas eve we gave them the painting and everyone loved it! We even made a video so Jessie could see the reactions on their faces when they opened the box! I can’t thank Jessie from Stray Dog Arts enough for her AMAZING work. Side note… Jessie was one of our first customers and painted the picture of Roxy hanging in the lobby!
Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Which PPP staff member made it to the top first?
Last night we had our Pampered Pooch Playground holiday party for our staff. Every year we try to pick something fun to do, and this year we took them indoor rock climbing. We rented out the entire place and everyone loved it! Our staff is amazing and they work so hard, this was the least we could do to reward them!
Have a great night.
