Old Friends
Thursday, February 12th, 2009This blog entry is in memory of Becket…….
Becket was a favorite of both staff and other dogs; he joined us every day.
He played with big dogs and little dogs, it didn’t matter!
He will forever be in our hearts.

The Gym
We hadn’t seen Thinstripe (a Lab) or Tuesday (a Vizsla/Whippet Mix) or recently, but when they showed up to play on Wednesday, they didn’t take long to remember how much they love running around with all their friends at Dogtopia! It was so nice to see them again.
Axl and Granite are an unlikely pair, but that didn’t stop them from snoozing together on the play equipment. (Sleeping on the play equipment? Those crazy dogs!) Axl is an English bull dog and Granite is a Great Dane/Lab mix- easily our largest and smallest dog in the Gym today!
Mya, a black Lab, and Sandy S., a yellow Lab, couldn’t stop themselves from playing, even when they had exhausted themselves. They were too tired to stand up and play so they wrestled while both lying on their sides with their legs intertwined!
Granite & Axl Relaxing on the Play Equipment
Who needs a personal trainer? The staff worked on their arm muscles by throwing a ball for Molly S., a yellow Lab, and Max M., a Border collie, all day long!
Meanwhile, Dijon, a Husky, got the crowd howling. Another Husky named Tehya, who never turns down an opportunity to sing for everybody, soon joined in – and before long even the staff were howling, too! Speaking of Huskies, Dijon and Tehya weren’t the only one in the Gym today. They were joined by Annie Rose and Koda! Tehya has so much fun at Dogtopia that she decided to bring her little sister, Zoe with her. Tehya and Zoe, a Catahoula hound, napped together on the play equipment when they were finally worn out.
Plus, my favorite Dalmatian friends joined us today – Kiko and Daisy! They kept the Romper Room buzzing with action!

Speaking of buzzing with action: put our next playgroup session on your calendars! Our January playgroup was a great success and we’re looking forward to meeting even more new friends in February!
