We said goodbye to our beloved fur family member Lola one week ago. Today would have been her 15th birthday. She was the BEST dog a family could ask for and we are lucky we had her in our lives for as long as we did. 💜💜💜

I had to share Lola’s mom post. We miss her so much!

A rough week for all us. Mr Griffey has also crossed the rainbow bridge and left behind his little ( not so little anymore) brother.
It only took me 10 years to finally get his name right!! I kept calling him Griffin. He was a very sweet boy right from start. I watched him throughout his teenage years until he turned into an old man. His grey muzzle made him very regal looking. His energy never depleted and just last week he had his last hike with us.
He was a big boy and is heart was even bigger!!
He loved everyone and always had a big smile on his face.
Rest in peace big boy 🥰

We lost one of our veterans this week. Our friend Lola has been part of playtime pack for 14 years. She would have turned 15 next month. She was one of the sweetest and kindest souls I have ever met when she did something naughty she got a certain look in her face and I would laugh and laugh as it was so out of character for her!
I loved watching her family grow, Lola was there first , then they added a couple of children and another pup. Lola welcomed them all and was such a big part of their family and so well loved my heart goes out to them.
She hiked up to her last days with greatest enthusiasm and spring in her step for an Oldtimer.
I often had her here for vacations and Christmas and she became such a big part of my family as well.
I miss you so much old girl!! Always in our hearts and never forgotten. Your spirit lives on in all of us.

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality: PLEASE SHARE:)

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for dog fighting.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

We joined a group to teach us to play frisbee. The dogs are loving it and are naturals. I am still working on in progress:)

My dog throws temper tantrums 😂😂

Get a dog they said, it will be fun they said …. Someone is definitely having fun😂

I was worried the dog was getting to big for the cat. Doesn’t look like it !

Life is just good when you are a dog!

Welcome Jack to the PlayTimePetCare family:) A little young to join the group walks yet but in no time at all I have a right hand dog.

A few days ago I was sure I was loosing Rodeo. For three days he couldn’t move. He was not able to get up when I lifted him up I had to hold him up or he would fall. His spirit was completely gone like he lost his will to live. It was a complete shock. We believe it was a combination of things of course speaking with the vet 10 times a day. Look at him now. you can barely tell he is 13 years old. Every day is a gift ! Sad we often have to learn the hard way and don’t live every day to it’s fullest. The two of us will now. I can see him going back to hiking in the future😉
