Our lobby, staff break room and bathroom makeover is now complete.  We love the new look and we want to thank everyone for putting up with the construction the last 2 days.

Jackson is one of our daycare dogs that did wonderful with the construction work.

Have a good weekend.

Dupree needed a bath

February 10, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Last night we received an email (complete with pictures) from Dupree’s mom saying that he got into the trash and decided to eat a bunch of spaghetti sauce.  Jenny one of our groomers came in today and made sure Dupree was all cleaned up.  Dupree is a regular face around doggy daycare and the spa.

Our lobby, staff lounge, and bathroom makeover is almost done.  The finished laying most of the floor today.  Again, we are so sorry for the mess, but it will look great when we are done.

Kato and Remy

February 9, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Kato and Remy were best friends the other day at doggy daycare.  These to guys played all morning.

Today we started a small flooring project and are sorry for any inconvenience that it might cause (most of the work is being done from 10am-3pm).  Over the next 2 days we will have a new floor installed in the lobby, hallway to the training room, our staff’s break room and the bathroom. The flooring in the lobby and hallway is made of 85% recycled materials!  We decided it was time for a minor upgrade, and all of our staff is very excited for a new break room; they work hard and deserve a nice room to relax in.

Trycia just added new pictures to our February photo gallery.

Have a great night.

The Loppet

February 6, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Today Trycia, Roxy and I went to the Loppet at Lake of the Isles.  We watched the Skijoring which was so much fun to see.  I would love to see if Roxy would do it.  For those of you that don’t know what Skijoring is, I made a quick video.  While we were there, we saw Roxy’s younger brother Charlie.  They played for a few minutes, then we joined up with Roxy’s Bff (Bindi and her family) and went to look at the snow sculptures.  It was a great time and the weather was great!

Have a great weekend, and make sure to check out the Twin Cites Puppy Bowl.

Speaking of puppies, the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl is now online.  I worked hard editing the video, so I hope you enjoy watching it!

Have a great night.

Halloween in February??!!

February 1, 2010 by Keith | 2 Comments

Trycia and I both LOVE Target and when they reached out to us for help we said YES!!  They are working on ordering Halloween costumes and wanted to work on sizing. They wanted to come in and see how the costumes fit on some of our dogs.  We are not able to tell you some of the really cool new costumes they will have for Halloween, but they are SWEET!!  Yes, they are finally going to have big dog costumes that are actually for big dogs!  We brought out about 15 of our most behaved daycare dogs, so they could try the costumes on to see how they fit.  Roxy, was a big fan of the pumpkin costume from last year!

Have a great night!

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!

One impressive pooch

January 28, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Ellie the beagle who is a regular dog daycare dog, has been spending the past few nights checked into our hotel.  Ellie has her trademark of wearing a bandanna everyday, and her mom sent her with a new bandanna for each day of her stay.  Today we caught her napping on the couch!

Trycia and I saw this on the KARE 11 news tonight and were impressed with this dog. Click here to watch the video of what I am talking about.  Enjoy!

You might have heard us talking about the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl which is a group effort between PPP, Sarah Beth Photography, Sidewalk Dog and Fetch Delivers.  The concept is simple, reach out to local dog rescues and features puppies that are up for adoption.  This past Saturday, we shot the video for the puppy bowl and the full length version will be out next Monday (2/1/10).  Until then, enjoy this quick promo that I put together.  You can visit the Twin Cities Puppy Bowl website at anytime.
