We found out today that Beemer (aka Little Bear) passed away last Saturday.  She was almost 13 years old and lived a great life with her Dad, Chuck.  I know she will be missed by many.

God Bless Chuck.

Beemer or Little Bear

We will miss you sweet girl!

Is your pooch the biggest hoops fan on four legs? It’s time to prove it! Submit a picture of your dog sporting the colors of your favorite college by Sunday, March 21st and they will be entered in our bracket-style competition.

The winner will receive a gift basket full of treats, toys and a 10 day daycare pass! Submissions can be emailed to www.dogdaycare.com/nraleigh, dropped off at the front desk or taken at the Mutt Madness Party!  Yes, we said Mutt Madness Party.

Please join us on Saturday, March 20th from 3:00 – 5:00 pm in the Gym. Dress your pup in full costume and we would be happy to take their picture and submit it for the contest. We will have treats for all – canine and human. Come and let your pup see how well they can dribble (okay, push) a basketball. Voting will be via our blog again. It will start on Monday, March 22nd. Pictures will be displayed in the lobby as well. Once voting begins, get everyone you know to vote. Please, only one vote per person per bracket.

To really kick-off Mutt Madness, we will have ECU day on 3/15, UNC day on 3/16, Duke day on 3/17, NC State day on 3/18 and Wake Forest day on 3/19. If your dog comes to daycare dressed up in the colors of the team for the day, they will receive 1/2 day free of daycare!!! It’s true, come for the whole day and only be charged half.

What a great way to show your team spirit and start off the Mutt Madness!

We have two beautiful foster dogs here at Dogtopia of Raleigh.

One is Callie who is about 4 months old and the other is Cimmeron who is about a 1 Year 3 Months.  They are both wonderful dogs.  Please pass this along to your friends and family.  They need a forever home.

Thanks.

Sweet Callie

Handsome Cimmeron

Just wanted to tell everyone Happy Valentine’s Day.  Hope you enjoy your day with that someone special.  As  you can see from the pictures, some of our babies have found true love.

Have a great day!

Say hello to Cimerron.  Cimerron is our new foster dog and is quite the cutie.  He is very sweet and eager to please.  Call us or come by to take a look at him.

I am a lovable dog and I have lots of licks to show you how much I can love you and your family. I am a spunky boy with a shiny coat, my nails are clipped and I stay nicely groomed. I can adjust to almost any environment and if you have children boy..oh..boy do I love them. I sleep very quietly at night and I’ll wake up whenever you say Hi. I love to look out the window or the door to check to see if you are coming home. I sniff around a bit and make sure that there are no scraps of food lying around that I might have missed! I eat my regular doggie food, never table food but I love the aroma coming out of a kitchen. I don’t mind if you say “No” when I beg a little I know what that word means also. I love to be pet and rubbed and would appreciate any attention that you give me. I obey most commands and love to learn new things so don’t be afraid to teach me. Well…. what are you waiting for from the looks of my pic, I am ready to go.

The dogs are having a blast in all the Snow at Dogtopia of Raleigh.  They are running, digging and eating the snow.  Check out the picture below.  Oh, to be young again!
