Howl-o-ween Party a Barking Good Time!
 
Over 20 dogs and their people joined Young at Heart at this year's Howl-o-ween Bash! Our co-host, Chasin' Our Tails, decked out their doggy daycare with spooktacular decor, and provided treats, refreshments, and post-part off-leash play. Participants tried their skills in "Musical Sit", "Mummy Wrap", and also competed for Funniest, Custest, and Scariest dog costumes. A great time was had by all!
