Rags

Rags is a seven year old Schnoodle that’s been romping with us at Dogtopia for about seven years. Do the math and you can see why she’s one of our ODs (original doggies) or AKA, a Founding Fido.

- We love little Miss Rags, because she’s just the sweetest girl on four, furry legs.  Just look at the expression on that face.

- She’s a love bug in the playroom. When she comes in she will run right up to you and as soon as you bend down to pet her, she rolls right on her back for a bellyrub.

- We love the way her front paws jump up and down when you pick her up! It’s like an enthusiastic, doggie wave hello.

Lucy

We’ve had a lot of new friends coming into Dogtopia of Tysons lately and we’re so excited to get to know each of them better!

Lucy is 1 year old Shiba Inu/Heeler mix who has moved to the area from Colorado, where she also attended daycare. She now comes to play in the Toy Box every day.

The Shiba Inus we’ve been privileged to meet are very intelligent dogs and seem to hold very high standards. You have to earn a tail wag! Thankfully Dogtopia seems to meet Lucy’s standards and she has warmed up very quickly.

Ashley

Lucy is pictured wagging her tail in the Toy Box with Chester the Cocker Spaniel, Aiden the Tibetan Terrier and an unidentified (but cute) Puggle rear-end.

Ashley (love the name!) is almost one and she comes to play every day as well. Ashley hangs out in our Gym and is a rescue dog, so we always have a special place for them! She’s a lucky dog from Lost Dog & Cat Rescue, a great organization that’s been doing wonderful work in the Northern Virginia are for years. Ashley is a very sweet girl and she’s made fast friends with some of the other Lounge regulars like Wishbone the Border Collie and Ellie the Chocolate Lab.

We "stole" Arya during naptime to snap this pic (and maybe a little spoiling, too!)

Arya is a fantastic 6 month old Doberman that’s recently started coming to play at Dogtopia of Tysons Corner!

It’s only been a couple of weeks, but we’ve already figured out we love Miss Arya…

• Her name – Arya. In Persian it means “Friend” and “Faithful”. We think that’s about right. We think that’s a wonderful name for a Dobie!
• Doesn’t seem she’s met a tennis ball that she doesn’t like!
• Watching her play with friend Tiger, a Brindle Boxer Mix who is also about 6 months old, in the Lounge will make your day!
• She has a those great perky Dobie ears and big puppy paws that she doesn’t know what to do with yet.
• She had a sister, Maddie, who were crazy about as well!

We’re thrilled to have Arya with us!
