We had a blast today with Ugly Sweater Day! 🎀 Although, if we're being honest, it's hard to label any of these sweaters 'ugly' when these cuties pull them off so well! 💅

Meet our December Dog of the Month, the wily Willow! Miss Willow is a lovely 3 year old German Shepherd. Like all German Shepherds, she has a drive to work and is eager to please! You can often find her trying to help our staff manage the play group. But don’t be fooled, her job isn’t actually work-intensive here; she just plays with the high energy dogs to give them something to do. Willow is one of the more accepting dogs; she gets along with just about anyone she meets! Because of this, her father occasionally will foster homeless dogs to help them on their way. Willow is a wonderful foster-sister, guiding these lost spirits and helping them build confidence! We truly appreciate Willow for the spectacular dog she is and are so proud to announce her as our December Dog of the Month! 🐶🩷 Congrats! 🩷🐶

Meet our November Dog of the Month, the charming Charlie! Charlie is a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel/King Charles Spaniel mix. Obviously he’s quite the looker! Charlie is definitely one of the most handsome dogs in our playgroups, with his long well kept ears and big brown eyes. Charlie isn’t just a pretty face; he also has an all-star personality to back it up! He gets along with just about everyone and easily makes friends with all other dogs. He’s just got that cheerful, affectionate Spaniel demeanor that draws both dogs and people to him. We always know when Charlie comes in, our day will brighten! For that, we are so happy to name Charlie as our November Dog of the Month! Congrats!

To all valued clients-

After 10 years of running The Dog Lodge, I come on here today to say my goodbyes. I am stepping down from my position. If you knew me as the manager, you knew how very important all your dogs are to me. I worked very hard to provide them my very best and have been honored to watch them all grow. I took care of them as my own and will always hold close the memories I shared with all of you.
I thank you for being a part in my journey ♥️
I wish you all the best ♥️

Jamie

Meet our October Dog of the Month, King Kelso! This Labrador Retriever mix is confident, sturdy, and resilient. Kelso is a more independent fellow, but he’s no wallflower. Despite his more solitary nature, he greatly enjoys socializing at daycare with all his friends! Especially with the staff! If you don’t know where Kelso is, just wait a moment and he’ll pop right up between your legs waiting for some good pets. You can always spot him with a Kong in his mouth and a spring in his step. Kelso loves the extra attention and it’s hard to resist his sweet face and bright eyes! Congratulations on earning your spot as our October Dog of the Month, Kelso! We’re so excited for you!

Meet our September Dog of the Month, Silly Billy! Billy is a Shih Tzu who has been a long term Daycare regular. Nothing perks him up more than when his mom asks him “Do you wanna go see the puppies?”. Billy jumps right up and runs to the door! We’re always excited when he struts in. Billy is a pretty special little guy- he’s confident, happy, and an all-around delight to be around. Billy loves to socialize with his buddies but is also always ready to ham-it-up with whoever can give him the best scritches. It’s hard to resist those big, brown eyes! We are so excited to name Billy as our September Dog of the Month! Congrats, Billy!

Meet our August Dog of the Month, the confident & charismatic Crimson! Miss Crimson is a three year old mini Goldendoodle with a lot of s***k. She is well known for her long dancer’s legs and bold personality. Crimson struts into daycare in knowing she’s the Queen of the Small Dogs! She’s often spotted bouncing around with her buddies, especially her Doodle doppelgangers. When she’s not running around with her friends, Crimson is found snuggling up with the staff here. She’s incredibly affectionate and loves to hug our legs while we give her extra scratches. We are so excited to name Crimson as our August Dog of the Month! Congrats!

Meet our July Dog of the Month, the large & lively Louie! This handsome boy is a black Labrador Retriever. Though he’s definitely one of our beefier Labs and can put on a tough front, Louie is actually very sensitive. He loves hamming it up to our staff to get extra love! When he’s not taking advantage of getting extra pets, Louie is often seen chasing a Kong- or more likely the dog carrying it! He loves to buddy up with other dogs over the toys and is often spotted playing ‘keep away’ with his pals. It’s all in good fun though, as you’ll often see him ‘accidentally’ drop his toy to keep the game going! Everyone loves partying it up with this goofy guy! Congrats to our lovable lug, Louie, on becoming our July Dog of the Month!

Meet our June Dog of the Month, the bold & brilliant Brooks!
The first thing everyone can see about this handsome man is his strong, resilient demeanor. He saunters into daycare with an air of security & sense of seriousness. Brooks is resolute in doing things on his own time and in his own way. Once he gets back to the playgroup, the tough exterior melts away and Brooks hams it up! He starts by working our employees for extra pets & attention, which we love giving him. It’s hard to resist those soft brown eyes! Next, Brooks will start mingling with everyone and wrestling with his friends. He loves to cut loose, as shown by the huge smile on his face once he gets started! We love to party on with Brooks and are so proud to name him as our June Dog of the Month! Congrats! 🥳
