🍪🤤
This tiny reunion pawty made my entire month! 💛
Juno was SO EXCITED to have a Barkyard visit today for our little Howl-O-Ween Pawty! I have missed my babies SO MUCH! Shirley & Natty have missed playing with their bff's since we had to temporarily close a few weeks ago, so having a little costume pawty seemed nessesary! Juno came running in this morning so excited to play! She couldn't contain her excitement! I missed you sweet girl!
It's officially official, we are moving! Barkyard Retreat was born out of the covid crisis, where my photography business was shut down & I had to think quickly about what my plan was going to be. That's when I decided to open a home daycare for up to 5 small dogs, 3 days a week, that way I could work at home. I have perfected my tiny business & really love how it all came together & turned out. I have put so much love & attention into making this little business happen & was able to get the absolute most amazing doggie clients evvvvvver to come to my house on a regular basis! It was a total dream come true & I am so sorry to have to close for a little while. I know some of my current clients, probably won't be back when I reopen at the new location, but I know I WILL HAVE TO have a couple planned play days & pawtys to see my favorite most amazing clients again! You all know who you are, every single one of you & your dogs have been unbelievable & supportive & I already miss the heck out of this little daycare. The idea of moving is stressful enough without adding home businesses moving too. I will be relocating to Glen Allen, about 12 minutes from our current location. This new house is exactly what we were looking for in terms of more space, privacy & woods/nature! I grew up on a farm & I have been feeling the need for more space & privacy for a while now. I will be able to reopen at this new home in some capacity & I'm SO EXCITED to do that! I know my other business will have a doggie studio/doggie playroom, that I'll be utilizing for fun daycare days for limited, small doggie groups. This awesome new house will even have nice long trails through the woods, so I'll be able to walk your doggies all over to explore & really have a fun unique playday, along with weekly photo days! The entire property is going to be fenced in and safe too, so your dogs will LOVE it. This house & property is a much more natural look & feel, so much of how I have decorated the doggie play area, will change at this new location, but I promise you & your doggies will love it! I already miss the dogs & can't wait to reopen! I hope to see my sweeties again SOON!
💛 So many precious faces!
Big things are happening and a lot of changes are coming but, it's all positive and for the better! So with that said, I will have to close temporarily. I expect to be offering certain services again in 2022, hopefully sooner! Thanks so much for bringing your amazing dogs to my little home daycare all this time and I already can't wait to see each and everyone of them again! Stay tuned for openings on certain scheduled days for daycare and photoshoots! 💛 Feel free to text me if you're a current client and we can chat details anytime!
I spend my vacations with dogs. 💛
I can't wait to see your doggies again when I get back! 💛 I'll be open on Friday the 8th! I hope to see your little ones then so that we can all enjoy this beautiful fall weather playing outside!😁
These 2 best friends have had just the absolute best day in daycare today! Shirley and Natty just chase after them and try to join in the fun but Juno & Louis are too busy wrestling and playing chase with each other to notice anything or anyone around them! These little ones are going to be tired tonight!
The best part of the day... SNACK TIME!
Here are a few of the cute back to school photos from this weeks daycare doggies!!! How cute are they!? always has the best doggie scenes! 💛😁
Love you Nikki!💛💛
I got to see my baby girl Nikki today for her 5th birthday! I can't believe she is already 5 years old! Our birthday shoot with was so fun and Nikki was a terrific model!
💛 we have so much fun!
Best friends playing in the Barkyard. 💛
Silly doggies! That can't just play with 1 toy, they want them ALL!😄
Nap time in the Petite Retreat after our fun filled day!
💛 Dusty the Pony loves to get visited by a bunch of friends!
These 2 cuties became buds!
2 friends enjoying the shade during our field trip to the farm!
Exploring the farm on our field trip and practicing leash manners. Love you Louis!
If you can't find Louis for a second, he is probably watching tv. 😄 This dog loves to watch tv!
Louis loves a comfy chair.
Louis just livin' his best life.
Here are just a few pictures from our field trip to the farm on Saturday! We had so much fun! Louis is such a good boy during boarding and LOVED his field trip with Natty & Shirley to see the horses, chickens, cats & met new friends Cricket, Jilly & Daytona! During your dogs boarding stay, I like to ask if I can take your little one on a visit to my parents farm, it's so much fun for the dogs and gives them something new to see and sniff. 😄
We had the cutest daycare doggies today!
The first second that Juno runs into the Petite Retreat, she HAS to jump up on the little doggie bed and dig on her pillows to make them jusssst right and plop down looking cute. She will do this 100 times in a 10 minute span! 😄

These 2 became instant besties! I have never seen 2 boys get along so fast and soooo cute! 😄 Howie & Louis are filling the Barkyard and Perite Retreat with a lot of excitement today!
Puppy energy🤪
I took these 2 cuties on a nice long walk through my parents land in Hanover today, it was such gorgeous weather! Did you know that Barkyard Retreat offers dog walks, in home drop-ins and adventures for your bored doggies on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Weekends for anyone in need, and of course Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays my doggie daycare is open for small dogs in need of love and a fun play day! 😄
Juno is ALWAYS up for a game of fetch! 😃 She is the type of doggie that has never met a dog she doesn't want to play with or a person she doesn't want to love! Barkyard is SO LUCKY to have Juno here for playdays!
Sometimes my girls need a long walk/ run in the woods to get that energy out! 😃
Juno cracks me up! When my 2 girls are busy playing, she usually runs over to me to get in my lap because she's "starved for attention" lol and she knows she can get in some quality lap time but she was torn between lap time and jump in and wrestle the girls over the tennis balls! Juno keeps me laughing all day! 😃
Juno and Natty are trying to share the bin of tennis balls...😆
Juno has been playing with about 40 tennis balls all day! It's the cutest thing to watch!
While one doggie tries to nap, the other dumps all the toys out the bins to find her favorite!
Little Piper girl can entertain herself Auth a tennis ball for hours. I just lovvvvve when her little nose is squished on the floor! 😆 You're so so cute Piper!
Piper's game is to pick out a toy, put it in the chair, jump into the chair accidentally sitting on the toy and try to get it out from under her while rolling around. She is absolutely hilarious! She kept me busy laughing today!
Oh my gosh I could cuddle these babies everyday, all day! Piper cracks me up!
Piper found the new toys! It doesn't take her very long! 💛
These little videos crack me up!
My new little camera I'm wearing is perfect for capturing these moments that dogs normally won't let me capture. Dogs can be so shy with a camera in their face, so this sneaky tiny camera was perfect... even though it got licked alot and had doggie slobber all over the lens lol
I could pet these little ones all day!
As soon as Ziggy, Audio and Juno came for a Play Day, I had to sit on the floor with these exited little one's for a good 20 minutes loving on each one!
Everyone needs so much attention and I'm happy to give it!
Oh my gosh seriously these cuties were SO EXCITED to see each other today! It was a happy reunion! Finally a gorgeous day out to play hard in the Barkyard!
Cute little Juno was BEGGING Natty, Ziggy & Audio to play when she first came in! They started chasing each other all over which I was racking! These crazy kids are going to be sleepy tonight!
Little Tipsy must be loving this cooler weather because everytime we come in from outside, she is so frisky!
Happy Pups - Walks and Adventures
