Duke and Delilah Samson, DOTW for 10/21-10/25!

Duke and Delilah Samson are the DOTW for 10/21-10/25! Duke and Delilah are Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Duke is 7 and has been coming since August 2007; his little sister Delilah is 5 and has been coming since April 2008. Duke and Delilah are clowns - they make a lot of noises when they're playing (snorts, grunts, whines), have silly grins, and are always entertaining. They can have a lot of energy and will occasionally race around the play area, especially when there's a ball in play; they can also just lay in a corner and sleep. They always make us laugh when they're visiting, and we decided it was high time to make them DOTW this week. Congratulations you two!

Abigail Johnson, DOTW for 10/14-10/18!

Abigail Johnson is the DOTW for 10/14-10/18! Abigail (or Abby) is an 8.5 year old chocolate Cocker Spaniel who's been coming to Dog Days since fall of 2011. Abigail is very wiggly and very vocal - when she gets excited, she snorts and grunts - she's so loud sometimes you can hear her coming from quite a distance. Abigail always has a smile for us when she arrives, but is pretty laid-back once she gets into the play area. But there are a few dogs she really likes, such as Indi and Brutus. We always enjoy Abigail's visits and are happy we get to see her so often. Congratulations, Abby for being DOTW this week! Woo woo!

Cocoa Kendall, DOTW for 10/7-10/11!

Cocoa Kendall is the DOTW for 10/7-10/11! Cocoa is an almost 4-year old chocolate Lab who's been coming to Dog Days since early 2012. Cocoa is very sweet, and has a fantastic wiggle - when she's happy to see you (which she always is), her rear end moves side to side, and she ducks her head and almost grins. She's playful but not crazy and isn't too particular about who she plays with, although she prefers the more gentle players (like Fenway and Leeloo) to the crazies (like Miami). She likes to play ball too. She's always good if you're feeling the need to be loved on, because she so loves her people. We always enjoy having Cocoa come visit, and are happy to make her the DOTW this week. Congratulations, pretty girl!

Pippa Merrill, DOTW for 9/30-10/4!

Pippa Merrill is the DOTW for 9/30-10/4! Pippa looks like a mini border collie mix (perhaps there's some Papillon in there?) who is about 2.5 or 3 years old. Pippa is the younger sister of Tia, one of our favorite older ladies. Pippa is very energetic and playful and loves anybody who will play with her in the small dog area. She particularly likes Waffles and Sammy, but isn't that picky. It's difficult to get pictures of her standing, because she's either running around like a wild thing, or laying down. She is always entertaining, and has really perked Tia up since coming to live with the Merrills. We always enjoy having Pippa come visit with us, and are happy to make her the DOTW this week! Congratulations, Pippa!
