Snow Day at Dogtopia

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Snow. Oh how we Texans get a little crazy when those beautiful white flakes start falling! Typically at the first mention of *Snow* on the weather report everyone launches into crisis mode. This means heading for the grocery store to stock up on those important things like 3 gallons of milk, coffee, and firewood. In all fairness though, as most Central Texans know, snow for us usually means ice if we get anything at all. However, we finally got our Snow Day here in Waco and while the dogs enjoyed the flurries I think the Pack Leaders enjoyed it a bit more. During naptime I was in my office working when a snowball fight erupted in the lobby. Yes, I said LOBBY and it was started by none other than Kim! Using the Evaluation room as her home base she blasted Jade as she arrived for work but Ms. Molly made them take it outside where they waited for Sam to arrive.

It was great fun to see all of the creative snowmen in the neighborhood and all of the pictures on Facebook of dogs in the snow! Here are a few of our pictures from our rare snow day at Dogtopia Waco. There are more pictures on our Facebook page.

Our next winner cooked up a super showing in the Funniest Category! Belle the Bulldog (aka Belle Belle by the pack leaders here at Dogtopia Waco) and her brother Luke the Lobster were awfully cute, creative, AND funny! Their Mom admits it took a lot of treats to get just the right photo!

 

Our winners will receive goodie baskets at our Halloween Party on Saturday! Thanks to all that entered the contest this year. I didn’t think it possible to top some of our contestants from last year but you all did an awesome job!

Bath, Brush, Blow-out, Bling Bonanza

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

 

Our grooming department, Jacqui & Brittany, are excited to introduce the BBB Bling Bonanza! So excited, in fact, they want their Facebook & Blog buddies to be the first to preview it!

Ok, I’m sure you are asking what is a BBB Bling Bonanza! The first 5 clients that call and request this preview will receive: a Bath suited to their fuzzy buddy’s skin & coat needs, a fabulous brush out with a fluffing blow dry and nail trim. Their teeth will be brushed with our wonderful new oral gel followed by a minty mouth mist. Then, to top it all off they will dress them up in one of their beautiful new bandannas or pretty little satin bows…for the BLING they are misted down with our new Sparkle Spray! 

There is only room for five and we are also throwing in a plush bone toy for each! So call now for an appointment and ask for the Bling Bonanza Preview!

Shhh….it’s a blog only special!

Hey Dogtopians!

Just a heads up that our HOT Summer Special is still going on! So if you have a weekend trip coming up it would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of it! When you book your dog for boarding, daycare, and a grooming appointment you will receive 10% off the 1st night, day, and grooming! This special is good thru August.

Also this week only Jacqui is offering complimentary Paw-dicures for anyone who brings in a receipt from the Waco Humane Society that they have donated a bag of food or $10. They are in desperate need of food right now so please help in any way you can.

Keep those dogs COOL! Bring them over to Dogtopia to play!

And the winner is…

Ashley Herridge aka Bo and Rex’s Mom!

Ashley was the 1st to answer the Dog Days of Summer Trivia contest correctly. So, next Tuesday when Bo and Rex come for daycare they will receive Paw-dicures from Jacqui. The boys have had Paw-dicures before and while Rex think’s they are ok, Mr. Bo is a big fan. He especially loves when Jacqui massages the moisturizer into his pads. It’s pretty cute though, Rex has to supervise anytime Bo is having anything “done” at the spa.

Congrats Ashlye, Bo, and Rex!
