A Bark From Josie
 
 
Jack and JosieHi Everyone!
 

No cat's were harmed in the making of our April Fool's Day joke. 

 

Catopia is only a figment of our silly imagination.  If you have a hunting breed, don't worry, your dog won't eat a cat here.  If you are allergic, no worries.  If you had your coworkers gather around the webcam to watch the mayhem, sorry to disappoint.  If you called to set up an evaluation for your cat to come join us in daycare, you were not the only one.  We hope you enjoyed the thought of cats and dogs, living together in harmony.

 

March for Babies Walk 

March for Babies
March for Babies is April 25 and takes place next to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria at Cameron Run Park.  The event is a fantastic family event and all of my 4 legged buddies are invited as well.  We would love to have you join our team, and get a fabulous Purple Dogtopia T-shirt.  If you can't make it and want to donate, every dime counts.  Every $100 you donate, or raise, will earn you a free day of daycare.  For more information, to register for the walk or donate, please go to MarchforBabies.org.

 

Dogtopia Athletic Club

With the nice weather here, our run-with-your-dog meetup group is back is session.  We generally run every Sunday morning starting near the Alexandria Shelter.  A majority of the group are beginner runners looking for a little motivation and a friendly group to jog with.  If you are looking for more structure and coaching, Running Coach Julia Karpov has put together FidoFitDC.  Fido Fit is complete with a Vet and Dog Trainer on staff to help you, and your fido, get into tip top shape.




Ruff,

March Dogs of the Week

RileyRiley for the week of 3/7/10
Riley is almost a 1 year-old Bearded Collie that goes crazy when it comes to daycare. Up until about 2 weeks ago Riley was still in the Toy Box having fun with all the small dogs, but since he has SO much energy we thought it would be time to graduate him to the Gym and have him play with dogs closer to his size (well the size he appears to be with all the fur!) He loves the Gym! Riley's favorite things include wrestling with all his friends, playing tag, chasing after Kongs, and trying to get attention/love from the pack leaders.
 
PrincetonPrinceton for the week of 3/14/10
Princeton is an 8 year-old black Labrador Retriever who doesn't think he's 8 years old. This older more distinguished man loves playing in the Gym and running around with all of his friends. Although Princeton doesn't like it he does go into the Lounge sometimes because we don't want him to overdo it. But of course if he had his way he would go in the Gym everyday! Princeton loves chasing his friends around the Gym, getting love from the pack leaders, and chasing after Kongs with all the Kong crazy labs. 

BailyBaily for the week of 3/21/10

Meet dark chocolate Bailey as we call him at Dogtopia ®. Bailey is a little over 1-year old and loves coming to daycare! He comes pretty much every week, after all he is a Lab mix so he has lots of energy! Bailey can be found in the Gym either wrestling with his friends, running around with a Kong in his mouth, or chasing after Kongs will all of the Kong crazy labs. He also loves getting attention from the pack leaders in the rooms.



CaliCali for the Week of 3/28/10

Cali is a beautiful brindle Plott hound mix that loves coming to daycare. Cali is a little over 1-year old and has so many friends in the Toybox. Cali loves chasing after Kongs with all of her friends. I'll tell you what... this girl is energetic! She gets so excited when some of the pack leaders go in the Toybox; she tries to jump up and give them kisses. Cali is a very good girl and has lots of friends both two and for legged.
