Natalie Holtz, DOTW for 2/18-2/22!

Natalie Holtz is the DOTW for the week of 2/18-2/22! Natalie is a 1.5 year old Cavachon who's been coming to Dog Days since early 2012, after her parents' previous dog, a Bernese named Abby, passed away (I wonder how the transition was, from Bernese to Cavachon??). Natalie is a real sweetheart who prefers to mainly hang out in the small dog area and observe. Unless Ollie W. is here, in which case she plays alot - she really loves Ollie. She also plays with the ball quite a bit. She's a good snuggler and has a really soft coat, so she gets lots of pets when she visits with us. We always enjoy Natalie, and are happy to make her the DOTW this week. Congratulations, Natalie!

Mika Rod, DOTW for 2/11-2/15!

Mika Rod is the DOTW for the week of 2/11-2/15! Mika is a 5 year-old chocolate Lab who's been coming to Dog Days since early 2010. Mika used to come with her brother, Cocoa, but he passed away, so now she comes on her own. Mika loves loves loves to play ball and tug o' war, especially with the people. Her tug o' war growl is very deep and low, and she sounds like a real tough girl. But she's not, she's a big marshmallow of a dog. But we pretend she's intimidating. She loves to have her belly rubbed too, and is quite vocal then as well. Actually, Mika has a lot to say. :) We always enjoy Mika's visits, and are happy we get to see her so regularly. Congratulations, Mika!

Tia Merrill, DOTW for 2/4-2/8!

Tia Merrill is the DOTW for the week of 2/4-2/8! Tia is a very special girl. Tia is an 11 year old blind miniature chocolate poodle. Tia has been coming to Dog Days since late 2008 for grooming, and started joining us in the daycare area in 2011. For a little old blind lady, Tia gets around just fine. She bounces around the perimeter of the play area until she's figured out where everything is, then settles down. The other dogs always treat her with respect and move out of her way when she accidentally bumps into them. She is THE best lap dog at Dog Days, period. Because she is such a special, sweet girl, she gets spoiled rotten when she's here, and gets lots of snuggle and cuddle time. We love our Tia, and are happy to make her DOTW this week. Congratulations, little lady!

Portia Haines, DOTW for 1/28-2/1!

Portia Haines is the DOTW for the week of 1/28-2/1! Portia is a 4 year old Border Collie mix who's been coming to Dog Days since mid-2009. Portia is really sweet and playful and is a slender little thing, and therefore tends to avoid the really rough and tumble play from some of the bigger dogs. She's more inclined to play with the gentle players, so she gets along well with Leeloo, Daisy and Murphy (who occasionally flirts with her). She always loves some good human attention too. We always enjoy Portia's visits with us, and are happy to make her the DOTW this week! Congratulations, Portia! Murphy says woo woo!
