This week’s spotlight shines on the beautiful Ella, a 1½-year-old Golden Retriever who has been brightening our daycare since April! Ella comes to daycare alongside her best friend and brother, Walter, whom she absolutely adores. If you spot Walter, chances are you’ll see Ella galloping right behind him. Whether they’re diving into the pool, playing chase, or engaging in an all-day game of tackle, these two are the definition of sibling goals. While Ella loves spending time with her brother, she’s also quite the social butterfly. She especially enjoys playing with the other female dogs in the yard. The boys are alright, but Ella seems to think the girls know how to have a little more fun! One of Ella’s favorite hobbies is finding sticks and turning them into her own special project. She’ll proudly carry them around, toss them into the pool for a good cleaning, drag them back out, and then finish the job by rolling them around in the dirt. It’s safe to say Ella has her own unique process! Ella is a precious soul with a joyful spirit and a heart full of love. Her excitement, playful nature, and sweet personality make her a favorite among both dogs and staff. We always look forward to seeing her walk through our doors and can’t wait for many more adventures with this wonderful girl.

DISCLAIMERS
A lot of times a dogs first stay can be extremely exhausting for them due to the change of environment and daily routine. When your dog goes back home they may be more tired then usual and not want to eat for a few days. This is all perfectly normal especially if they come during our busy times. The adjustment period only lasts a few days then they should bounce back to their regular everyday behavior. The more they come the better they get used to the type of environment we have and the easier it will be on them in the future. At our facility the dogs are active from 7am to 7pm everyday, with very little downtime. This is different then a home environment as our dogs do not lay down and rest off and on throughout the day especially if they are younger and playful. However we do encourage rest throughout the day, by keeping them up for an hour during feeding to give them a break. We also put dogs up in our suites if we notice their overwhelmed, agitated, or just plain out tired. Sometimes the change from home to boarding back to home again can be stressful and they can show it in different ways, that being stomach aches or not eating for a few days to even just nonstop sleeping. But again this is all normal behavior in the beginning. However if your dog has not improved in the next couple of days and you have any concerns about their behavior please reach out to us and let us know and we will try and get to the root of the problem.
Dogs play rough! Often with open mouths and by jumping on each other. In addition, when dogs are playing they rarely pay attention to their surroundings which can often cause them to crash into things. After a long day of play, your dog will come home happy and exhausted...but they may pick up some scrapes and scratches too! Our staff do their best to keep an eye on everyone, but sometimes scuffles happen. If we notice your dog is hurt, we will be sure to treat any minor injuries as needed. Anything more serious will result in an immediate phone call. We want your dog's stay to be a safe one! Even if it means protecting them from themselves. Your pet's safety is our number one concern, and our facility has been designed with that in mind. From fully enclosed outside areas, heating and air-conditioning year round, double doors to prevent escapes and staff that have been well trained on how to prevent and breakup any altercations. Let your pup come play and get some energy out!
