Events/News at Ultimutt
Monday, October 26th is the Ultimutt Halloween Party! Bring your dog (and human kids) for a night of fun and contest! You can also have their picture taken!
Internet is back! Woo-Hoo
It has been a great week at Ultimutt. We have averaged about 27 a day! Our Ultimutts greet us every morning with wagging tails and sloppy hugs! We have added more new dogs to our pack and love getting to know them! The pack is growing and doing great.
Believe it or not (Brook and I didn't) but having more dogs is easier on the dogs. They can play with whomever and whenever they want. They can play inside with some dogs and then go outside and play with others. It is fun to watch their friendships form. When the dogs get here in the mornings they are so happy to greet their friends and meet new ones.
This warmer weather has been amazing-lots and lots of outdoor dog time. Pretty days allow the dogs to run, sniff, mark, sniff, sun bathe, and bark at EVERYTHING that goes overhead. Since we are next to the airbase and the airport they have lots to bark at. And since the dogs include leaves, butterflies, and birds they get lots of barking, running and sniffing time.

Welcome back sun!
Tuesday the dogs finally gave in and just played in the rain. I think we all had given up on it ever stopping, so what the heck. Plus it was another big dog day and they wanted to run and run. All the doggies returners/rookies, young/old, big/small have had a blast this week-a small butterfly, a bird flying over, or a plane seem to never get old. We have had lots of new doggies and have loved adding them to the pack. We have been averaging about 22-25 a day so lots of fun.
Our babies are growing up quickly: Sophie has come into her own, she is so excited to be here each morning and has learned to hold her own with all the other dogs. (which all out weigh her by at least 5-6 lbs-which isn't hard when you weigh under 2lbs) Harlow is finally healthy and able to come back to daycare-she is tons of fun! Zack had a rough week, ears/toenails/neutered all gone-but he is back and as playful, curious and loving as ever. Buddy is 9 months and just wonderful, he is forgetting about life before Carol/Ultimutt and doing fantastic.
Our training class is almost over, it has been amazing to watch the doggies learn and see their owners happiness each week. We have just one more class before graduation!
Saturday we are walking with our dogs for 'Paint the Park Pink' at UAFS. It is a great cause and a chance to show off our Ultimutts.
Don't forget Monday the 26th we have Halloween pictures and the costume contest at Ultimutt. We hope to see you soon.

Ultimutt Fun
So sorry for the delay in writting! But I think it was worth it. We have lots of pictures up of the facility and 'Our Ultimutts' on line. www.ultimuttdogcare.com/photos.html Go check them out! We even labeled them so you can put faces with the names and stories.
We had a great week last week. What amazing weather-you really can't ask for anything better than taking your dogs to work, playing with the dogs all day, and perfect weather! Monday night we had another great training class. We reviewed Sit/Stay and taught Down which is hard for many dogs but the owners did great and worked with them all week.
Tuesday we got Sophie and Zack for the first time. She is a wonderful baby ShihTzu who is super sweet and by the end of the week was holding her own with the other doggies and playing great with Zack. Zack, a Great Dane baby, boarded with us Tuesday-yesterday. I had a hard time letting his momma take him home!!! As Dane's do, he grew so much in just the short time that we had him. He loved playing with all the doggies and toys and learning how life away from 'mamma and the littermates' is pretty fun! Zenna and Zubie started Ultimutt on Friday and will be regulars. They are beautiful black Great Dane's-Zenna is pretty tight with her brother, Zubie, since he nursed her back to health after being rescued from her first owners. This dogs are gentle giants who loved meeting Farley and playing with someone their own size (about 130 lbs). Cutie Pie, Buddy, and Chance hung with them though and loved the jumping, wrestling, and chasing Lilly Jack. Now don't feel sorry for Lilly Jack 1st she rules Ultimutt, 2nd she can turn on a dime and run through their legs and frustrate those big dogs in under a second. If you want to laugh just sit back and watch Lilly Jack tease the big dogs. Rudy, Schnoodle, and Mitzi, black Westie, also joined us last week for the first time. Both have lots of energy and were thrilled to be able to run and play all day long!
Darby has moved her bed to the landing on the stair well, she really believes she is human. Farley is a big lover and as I mentioned before loved having dogs his own size here and meeting his new cousin, Zack. Bella and Brady are fun dogs-they can play all day, crash at nap time, and be ready to go again. Bella could win high jump competitions-when she gets excited she starts the Boxer Bounce and easily is level with our chest. Cutie Pie is here with us daily and ALWAYS ready to play. She is happy with small dogs, puppies, or the Dane's as long as they are happy and full of energy. Buddy, is getting older (10 months) and growing into his body-so not as clumsy when he runs, but man he has gotten fast! He is like Cutie-he is happy with anydog as long as they are willing to run and play. Hershey and Dixie Bell have been here for a while now and love it. They know the routine, are playing lots with the other dogs and getting plenty of exercise. Last week they brought their big sister Diva, a Chihuahua. She may be small but has a big personality!
Friday was tons of fun and busy! We had almost 30 dogs (28 to be exact) for daycare/boarding and a handful of groomings. The dogs were about split down the middle on size/play levels so both pens were full of roudy play time! It was a great weekend of boarding - the dogs got tons of play time and we got to relax and hang out with them and get to know our new ones.
Things at Ultimutt are going great! Don't forget to go online and check out our photos and stay tuned as we add more daily.
