A Bark From Josie
 
 
JosieHi Everyone!

 

I hope you enjoyed the Snowpocalypse as much as I did.  We had a blast running around in the snow.  Well, at least us big dogs.  My buddies in the Toybox took one look and ran back inside.  Check out the pictures on our Facebook page.  If you have some good snow pictures share them on our Fan Photos. 

 

Congratulations to our General Manager Regina Till.  That is Regina Till, CAPCT.   Regina passed her exam last  week and is now a Certified Advanced Pet Care Technician.  Now she begins studying for the CKO, Certified Kennel Operator, the highest certification recognized in the Pet Care industry.  The test includes an intense written exam along with an oral exam conducted by current CKO's and industry experts.  Good luck Regina!!

 

Don't forget, next week, Feb 15, is the George Washington Parade.  If you want to join us marching in the parade, and get a Dogtopia T-shirt, send us an email.

 

Mark your calendar, April 25 is the March for Babies.  Dogtopia will have a team walking in the event.  Another fantastic chance to get a Dogtopia T-shirt. 

 

My Dad has recently accepted the invitation to raise funds as a model in the Fashion for Paws™ Runway Show benefiting the Washington Humane Society (WHS). The Fashion for Paws™ Runway Show will be held on April 10, 2010 at the Embassy of Italy.  If you wish to donate or purchase tickets for the event (which is a great event) click here.

 

Ruff,

January Dogs of the Week

FinneganFinnegan for the week of 1/3/10
Finnegan is a 9 month old Brittany Spaniel who is full of energy and loves coming to daycare every week. He has been coming to Dogtopia® for 3 months and has made so many friends in such a short period of time. Finnegan also has a twin named Ike, who is a 7 month old Brittany Spaniel. Although Finnegan is older, he is a little smaller than his twin Ike. Finnegan is a wild man in the Toy Box; he is constantly playing and always making new friends with his outgoing personality. 
 

 
Belle & KosmoBelle & Kosmo for the week of 1/10/10
Meet Belle and Kosmo who are brother and sister Beagles. Belle is 2 years-old and Kosmo is 6 years-old. These two come to daycare every week and love hanging out with all of their Beagle friends. These two are night and day. Belle is a little more reserved and loves hanging out with the pack leaders, and everyone knows when Kosmo is coming to daycare. He starts barking from the street letting us know he's ready to play. These two always have a good time when they come to daycare! 
 

BuddyBuddy  for the week of 1/17/10

Meet Buddy a Rottweiler mix who is 2 years-old. Buddy comes to daycare 5 days a week because he loves it that much and because he has so much energy. He loves hanging out with his friends during the week. Some of Buddy's favorite things include chasing after Kongs, wrestling with all of his friends, and telling all the dogs in the Gym what is on his mind (he's a big talker, especially when it comes time to telling someone he wants to play with them). For some strange reason Buddy also only listens to all the girl pack leaders, he's a ladies' man! :) 



GroverGrover for the Week of 1/24/10

Grover is a 7 month-old Lab/Malinois mix. Don't let this little guy fool you; he thinks he is the biggest dog in the Gym! Grover spent 3 days in our Toybox because he was a puppy but he soon graduated because we wanted to wrestle with all of the big dogs. Grover also carries an accessory with him wherever he goes in the Gym, any guesses? It's an extra large Kong. For some reason even when he is playing with other dogs he has to have a Kong in his mouth.
