I'm happy to report that Odin will be going to his "forever" home on Sunday. He will be living with a nice retired man in New Hampshire who likes to hike and snowshoe. I know Odin will be very happy there!

A typical scene at pikup time

2nd Annual Monster Mash Parade

When: October 31st, 12:00 pm
Where: The Crate Escape

We had a great turnout last year for our 1st Monster Mash Parade. Lets make this years event BIGGER and BETTER! This year we will be raising money and collecting supplies for Help Willy's Friends and Labs 4 Rescue. Any donation (cash, pet food, supplies) automatically enters your dog into the parade. There will be prizes for best costume! We will have food, games, and lots of fun! Hope to see you all there!

Good Bye and Good Luck

We're sad to say good bye to our good friend, April, today. She is moving to DC with her mom, Christina. She's been a daycare regular for over a year and it's been a blast having her here. Good Luck April and Christina, we'll miss you!

Ode to Otis

This is our dear friend Otis. I know his mom is dying to see more pics of him on the blog, so this is for you Jenn!


Otis is usually the first one here. He waits by the gate to greet each dog as they come

He's giving me a funny look because I'm taking his picture again!

Here is is going in for a butt scratch... "Outta my way, Onyx!"

"Mmmm, nice cold water" Otis loves a good drink
