Dogtopia of Woodbridge, VA Blog

Okay, okay, so I haven’t blogged in a long time – I’m sorry!

I was so busy sniffing all the fun new scents that spring ushered in that I lost track of time!

The weather is sunny and warm these days so we have reopened our outdoor play area here at Dogtopia of Woodbridge. We like to go out in the mornings before it gets too hot outside. I personlly don’t care for the kiddie pool (I get wet often enough from being bathed in the Spa Room, thank you very much) but the Labs and Goldens seem to enjoy that quite a bit!

Today we had nearly two dozens dogs running around our Gym. Dogs of all sizes, all colors (well not ALL colors, I have yet to see a green dog, but then again, I’m sort of color blind, so you never know.) There was a Great Dane-Lab mix (he’s hugemongous!) named Granite who sprawled out on the floor, begging for his belly to be rubbed – and he would lay right next to Winston, a tiny 12-week old Welsh corgi puppy! It was adorable!

Cali, a Vizsla and this week’s Dog of the Week, showed up to play this morning and I think she definitely knew that she was being honored this week! She ran around the Gym, all the dogs following her, and you could almost hear her thoughts: “The Dog of the Week is here! The Dog of the Week is here!” That girl has so much energy, just watching her run around and play made me feel exhausted!

Sidney (a Golden Retriever) and Oscar (a hound) asked the staff to throw a ball for them over and over and over and over and, well, you get the picture. I wonder if there’s a world record for number of ball retrievals… I bet if they could write Santa a letter, both Sidney and Oscar would ask for one of those machines that shoots out tennis balls automatically. They could be kept occupied for hours! Days! Weeks at a time!

Tara, a chocolate Labrador Retriever who comes to play with us every week, was extra playful today! Everyone was getting along very well –  it was a really fun day for everyone, staff and pups alike.
