This week we have been blown away by the cuddling, tumbling, running, playing and cuteness of all our new puppies. Brook has added their pictures so you can put an adorable face to their cute little stories!
Junior: 5 week old Boxer. He is a lover! At only 5 weeks the majority of his day is spent sleeping in the laps of Brook and myself or in the armpits, chins, hips, or on the backs of our larger hairy dogs. Copper, Dakota, and Chance have all been great to let him curl up with them.
Lola: 7 month old Weimaraner is Junior's big sister. She is a beauty. She was a little timid on Wednesday (her first day) but has the hang of it. She loves running with Kira, our Greyhound, and Dakota and Cutie Pie (our 2 other fastest). She is very protective of her brother-when we are holding him she always checks in!
Kodah: 4 month old Husky. He is roudy and so fun - everything you would expect from a boy dog! He loves us girls and can run and play all day! He has rolled and run and chased and sniffed all week. He is going to be a tired puppy tonight.
Ruben: 4 month old mutt. Many of you may remember us talking about him. He was brought to us as a last resort before going to the pound. His parents said he had too much energy (don't all puppies...). Prayers were answered when a guy came in doing deliveries and mentioned he was going to get his wife a doggie for Christmas. So Ruben has a wonderful home and is doing great with the best new owners! For the first time (while we were fostering, during his training class, and during his weekly trips to day care) he is laying down at my feet. He plays long and hard while he is here! He is the same size as many of our other babies and is LOVING IT.
Harlow: 5 month old Great Dane. Her ears are up-her tummy is back to normal and she is ready to play play play! She is a beauty and loves having the room to run.
Zack & Sophie: You've read about them before. Zack, our 4 month old Great Dane still loves all dogs and is happy in my lap (yes, I know he is too big, but...), laying in the sun, chewing on any and everything, and racing the other pups. Sophie, Shih Tzu, is now 12 weeks and has grown and grown. She plays with all sizes, breeds and ages. The only thing that hasn't changed is she wants in a dogs 'lap' when she is sleeping.
Mollie & Chesney: Are 11 week old (3-4lb) Maltise-Yorkies. They are litter mates but seperate owners-today is thier first day and they fit right in. They are exploring, rolling, smelling, sleeping and loving their new litter at Ultimutt!
This weather has been amazing. The dogs are loving it and all are playing like puppies. Including our oldest dogs! Cody (the Collie) ran and played like a 3 year old for a week straight. He is a large dog (90lbs) but was fascinated by the smaller dogs. He's watch and study them for hours then run run run then back to watching the small dogs. Abbey (my 9 year old lab) has run and played more in the last 2 weeks then she has in the 4 years that I have known her. She really thinks she is a puppy again and is just running and barking all day! Andy (Brook's 7 yr old Schnauzer) has been walking the fence row for 10 days. The rabbits are out because of the warm weather and are tormenting the dogs! Also, the birds are really landing low on the trees right outside the fence and I swear they are mocking them!!!
Our big dogs: Zenna & Zubie (Great Danes), Cutie Pie, Jasper (Bird Dog mix), Chipper (Australian Sheppard), Dakota (English Golden Retriever mix), Copper (dark Golden), Buddy (Collie mix), Kira (Greyhound), Chance and Abbey are loving the weather. Being able to run inside and out all day long is wonderful. This weather has given them all young and old an adrenaline rush. It is wonderful to see them all this happy!
Our small dogs: Chico (Pom mix) has really warmed up to Ultimutt and is doing great on his anxiety. Annie and Jaxsen love day care life and come by each day for their daily love. Annie (puggle mix) comes once a week for her dose of day care and we love having her. Toby (poodle) and Lilly Jack love playing with the dogs their size and barking at the big ones. Maggie (Bulldog) and Charlie are just happy go lucky dogs. They haven't found a day they don't love. And Casey is happy just following Charlie or Cutie around.
I better get back to work. Have a great weekend

Recap
Whew! It has been a wonderful, crazy, hectic, fun few weeks. Lets start with a short recap:
Amy Castleman has joined our Ultimutt group-she has kept my dogs for years and we have the numbers here to bring her on. She has such energy (probably because she is young) and passion for dogs and life. All the Ultimutt's have welcomed her with wagging tails and lots of kisses!
10/23 was a milestone day for Ultimutt, it was Amy's first day and our biggest day yet. We had 37 dogs here!!! What a blessing to see that many dogs playing and running in our facilities.
10/26 Ultimutt Halloween Trick or Treat-Jennifer Keiffer took amazing photos of all of our Ultimutts and the judges picked 3 winners. Buddy-the prisoner, Jesibell, the 'social butterfly' (for those of you that follow along you know how true this is of her-ha), and Daisey Duke, in her grass skirt. Stay tuned to www.ultimuttdogcare.com to see photos.
10/30 Ultimutt joined the Chamber. We had our official ribbon cutting ceromony. The Chamber, their staff, and the ambassadors came to tour Ultimutt and see all of our dogs. The dogs were all on their best behavior-and our visitors LOVED seeing all our babies and trying to guess their breed.
11/2 Training Graduation! We had a wonderful first class of dogs. It is so rewarding to see the dogs and their owners walking 'at peace' on a leash and the dogs sitting so we humans can talk.
11/5 Ultimutt on the Radio. Brook, Chance, Andy, Lilly Jack and myself went on a field trip. (Not to worry Connie was here with all our other doggies-so their fun never stopped!) We headed down to The Rebel 95.3/ESPN 96.3 and filmed a commercial to start tomorrow during the Hog's post game show. This was an experience. The 5 of us and Jay Johnson spend about 90 minutes in a TINY room working on the commercial, making the dogs bark, and lots of laughing.
We also have been planning our booth for the Holiday Market. We are very excited to get to share our business, stories of our Ultimutts, products, and lots of Ultimutt photos with the public. Stop by our booth and look for pictures of your Ultimutt!
The last 2-3 weeks we have been averaging 25 dogs a day. Which means our pack is growing! Dakota, Irish Golden Retriever, and Charlie, a precious little mix, are new this week. They are every day kids and doing GREAT. Dakota has the kind of energy and hair that most of us would kill for. Charlie loves life-he doesn't care if he is running with the pack, wrestling, laying in the sun, or sniffing the fence-he is happy and always moving.
Cody (the Collie) is a big lover. He is so happy to run and play and chase Lilly Jack. Cody, like so many of the others love his 1 on 1 time with Brook and I. He likes hugs and a good rub behind the ears a few times a day.
Myles, yellow lab, and Ruddles, dark golden, are in the area for a short amount of time but will always be Ultimutt's. Their parents are here starting the new Mars plant-so they are animal lovers through and through. They are great day care and boarding kids! They play til they are so tired and beg to go in their crates.
Maggie and Copper are siblings and as different as night and day. Maggie is almost a year and a bulldog-when you look at her you just want so squeeze her face and tuck her tounge back in. Maggie loves the little dogs and being held by Brook and me. Copper is a beautiful golden retriever. He wants to play and run with the big dogs. Copper likes to stay outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having.
Wally is a young setter-he is enjoying learning the ropes of daycare and is obsessed with the Danes. We look forward to watching him grow up.
I better get back to the doggies. This weather is so amazing they just want to be outside running and playing all day-and since they are the boss they get to.
