New Clothing

March 6, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

This past week we got a new delivery of clothing from Barkology from their spring catalog!  Some of the older items are on “sale” for 30% off.

Speaking of spring, today was a beautiful day to enjoy being outside.  We went around Lake Calhoun with Roxy and her best friend Bindi (and her parents).  Both dogs LOVE the snow, and they will be really sad to see it go.

One final note.  My good friend Staci Matthews who hosts the afternoon show on KS95, just released a cool new book called Girlz In White Dresses.  Basically it is girls wearing wedding dresses in crazy places.  Many of my friends are featured in it (and if you look carefully you will see me in the background).

Hope everyone is able to enjoy a fun weekend with the warmer weather.

Fozzy's a big brother!!

March 3, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Fozzie has been boarding in our hotel and he will be surprised tomorrow when he goes home to a new family member!  He has been staying with us because fozzy’s owner is delivering a baby!!!  Fozzy’s dad emailed us today and said everything went well, and Fozzy gets to go home tomorrow.  He will be so excited!!

I spent the afternoon painting our office!  Our office was originally in what is now the training room.  When we removed the walls to make the training room, we needed a place for our office, so we picked a small room right behind the lobby and next to the big dog play area.  The walls were not pretty, but it did the job and it was a place to put our desk.  Well, we decided that it needed a fresh coat of paint and a new floor.  So I am doing all the work this week.

One final note…. Check our Facebook page tomorrow around noon for a chance to win a free bath.

Hope everyone has a good night.

Luna

by Keith | Comments Off

Luna has been spending the night in our hotel and today she was was hanging out in the Zen Den.  Luna does great in all of the rooms, but really wanted to rest and relax today.  Speaking of the Zen Den, look for one of the webcams to be moved tomorrow so you can see more of the room.

Many of you were asking how Roxy did on her Canine Good Citizen test at the Animal Humane Society last night.  She passed with flying colors and we are so proud of her!  Next, we start her therapy dog training in a few weeks!

Hope everyone has a good night.

Sunday Fun

February 28, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Today, we sent all of our managers and Trycia to a training seminar on first aid, CPR and kennel management. So while they were away, I was at the daycare holding everything down.  Sundays are so much fun at the PPP because they are so laid back and the dogs LOVE it!! Frankie was one of the hotel guests who has been staying over. All of the dogs, and our staff are very excited for the warmer weather!

Tomorrow is a big night for Roxy!  She is going to take her Canine Good Citizen test.  I know she will do great!

Have a good night.

Bruno and Cyrus

February 26, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

miniature pincherCan you tell which Miniature Pincher is Bruno and which one is Cyrus?   Cyrus is on the left and Bruno is on the right.  Bruno has been taking private training lessons with Heather, and Cyrus belongs to Melissa, one of our employees.  Bruno was one of the reasons that Melissa wanted to get a Miniature Pincher!! Both dogs enjoy going to doggy daycare and hanging out together!!  Bruno can normally be seen wearing a black sweater/turtle neck and Cyrus loves to wear his “referee shirt”.

Have a good night!

Bocephus

February 25, 2010 by Keith | 1 Comment

Bocephus, Bo for short is one of the labs that comes to dog daycare and man does he have energy!  Bo plays, and he plays hard, but he also plays well with all of the other dogs.  We love when Bo’s mom sends in his reservations, because they always write something fun in the “comments” area.

Have a good night.

Remy – Roxy's Inspiration

February 22, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Remy is one of our most laid back boxers that come to doggy daycare.  Remy is so easy going, and just loves being around people and other dogs.  Remy wanders between the rooms, and loves getting attention from our staff in the room.   Remy is a certified therapy dog, and he was one of the reasons that we wanted our dog Roxy to become a therapy dog.  Our class starts in the middle of March, so you might see us working on some training with her in the lobby from time to time.

Have a good night.

My Lunch Date

February 18, 2010 by Keith | Comments Off

Teddi was one of the first dogs through our door when we opened, and now Teddi comes to spend the night in our dog hotel.  Teddi is such a sweet girl and we love to spoil her, so today she joined me in our office for lunch.  Oh, lunch was great!  It was a slice of rasberry cheesecake from Muddy Paws Cheesecake for me and a Flossy for Teddi.  Tami who is one of our groomers, owns Muddy Paws Cheesecake, and sometimes will bring in samples.  YUM!!!

Have a great night.

Tonight Trycia and I were watching the KARE 11 5pm news, and who do we see on there?? Ash, one of our managers with her dogs!  She told us 2 days ago that she was interviewed, and I just thought that it was an excuse for being late, but boy was I wrong…  Enjoy!
