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.
