A Bark From Josie
 
 
JosieHi Everyone!

We hope everyone had an enjoyable, holiday! We certainly did, with all of all of my buddies that came by to play and sleep over during the holidays. Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their 4 legged kids!

 

My Dad is always being asked, "How do I get one of those cool Dogtopia t-shirts."  Well, now we have an answer, come hang with us!  Throughout the year we participate in a number of community events from parades and walks, to runs and other cool events.  This year, we plan on being in the George Washington Birthday Parade, St Patrick's Day Parade, Pride Parade, Waterfront 5k, Breast Cancer Walk, March for Babies, Olde Towne Dogge Walke, just to name a few. 

 

If you are interested in participating with us in one of these events, send us an email or sign up at the store.  When you show up we'll give you a green, purple, pink or whatever color matches the event, official Dogtopia t-shirt.

 

Our next event is the Gorge Washington Birthday Parade on February, 15.  If you want to walk in the parade, send us a note with how many two legged and four legged people will be walking or stop by the store and sign up. 

 

If you have an event that you think we would enjoy let us know!

 

Haitian relief

 

We've all been struck by the images of those left reeling from the earthquake in Haiti.  There is also a large companion animal and stray population that needs aid. To help the Haitian animals in need, please go to this site and donate.

December Dogs of the Week

JesseJesse for the week of 12/6/09
Jesse is a 2-year-old Doberman who is a daycare veteran. Dogtopia® is not his first daycare; he and his mom lived in California and he went to a daycare there. It took a little while for Jesse to get used to Dogtopia®, but after a few days he was getting all the dogs to howl with him (Jesse is a big talker) and also made a girlfriend in the process: Chloe a St. Bernard/Hound mix. These two love hanging out with one another. Chloe is just smitten over Jesse's good looks.  
 

 
MaybellMaybell for the week of 12/13/09
Meet the lovely Maybell. Maybell is a Pointer mix that loves coming to daycare everyday to get some exercise while her mommy works. Although Maybell is on the smaller size, she loves playing with all the big dogs in the Gym. In the 3 months she has been coming here she has made many friends, both two and four legged. Maybell also loves giving the staff hugs. A unique thing about Maybell is that she has a polka-dotted nose, it's very cute.
 

Rosie and TobyRosie and Toby for the week of 12/20/09

Meet Rosie a Terrier mix and Toby a Doodle mix who are brother and sister. Even though these two have only been coming to daycare for a few months they love hanging out with one another in the Toybox. Even though these two love being brother and sister and playing with one another they are very different. Toby is a wild man, he loves chasing after dogs and wrestling. Rosie on the other hand is the most affectionate dog we have at Dogtopia®, she loves cuddling and giving hugs. 



MikeyMikey for the Week of 12/27/09

Mikey is a 13 year-old Lhasa Apso that comes to daycare five days a week. Mikey loves hanging out in our Lounge, curled up next to the pack leaders and either take a nap or watch a movie. A cute thing Mikey does is when he gets really excited he runs in circles; he also gets really excited when his daddy come to pick him up after he's has a long, tough day in the Lounge.
