Rex O'Quinn, honorary DOTW for 11/25-11/29

Rex O'Quinn is the honorary DOTW for 11/25-11/29. Rex has already been the DOTW, but sadly, Rex passed away on Wednesday after a valiant fight against cancer. Rex was such a part of Dog Days, that I felt he should be the DOTW again, to honor his memory. Rex was a 9 year old Vizsla who'd been coming to Dog Days for over 6 years. Rex's two favorite things were playing ball and being with his people - he was a true Velcro dog. Rex gave great kisses, squinched his eyes up and wiggled when he was excited and allowed us all to hug on him when we needed to. He was very entertaining in his attemps to catch the ball, but he loved playing, so it didn't matter if he wasn't successful alot of the time. He fought the good fight against the stupid cancer, but in the end, it won, as it almost always does. We are thankful that his parents entrusted him to our care for so long, and that we got to see him the day before he passed. Rest in peace, Rex, and God speed.

Woody Shugol, DOTW for 11/18-11/22!

Woody Shugol is the DOTW for 11/18-11/22! Woody is a 4 year old German Shepherd who's been coming to Dog Days since mid-2010. Woody is a big boy who doesn't always know that he's so big. He's very playful for such a big guy, and his best friends are Lake, Riley B. and Sheldon, although he also sometimes plays with Avery too. He can sometimes play pretty roughly, but he's super smart, so he quickly learned to always play with a toy in his mouth. Woody might be one of those dogs who's almost TOO smart, and he seems to always be thinking up ways to test his mom and us. Woody keeps us on our toes, and we've decided it was time to make him DOTW. Congratulations Woody! Behave yourself!

Jackson Duvaleus, DOTW for 11/11-11/15!

Jackson Duvaleus is the DOTW for 11/11-11/15! Jackson is an approximately 6.5 year old puggle who's been coming to Dog Days since mid-2012. Like most puggles, Jackson is an easygoing fella who gets along with pretty much anyone. He particularly likes Brutus and Chewie, but is happy to hang out with all of the small dogs. He's not one of those crazy players, and tends to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the show. He has a great smile and really likes his people, so we tend to shower him with attention when he's here. Congratulations Jackson, it's well-deserved! Smile, buddy!

What a great smile!

Cody Virgil, DOTW for 11/4-11/8!

Cody Virgil is the DOTW for 11/4-11/8! Cody is a 1 year old Goldendoodle who's only been coming to Dog Days for a month or so. But he's quickly ingrained himself into our hearts. Cody is a tall drink of water - he's a very leggy boy. He's very playful, as you'd expect of a young doodle, and is quite a goofball. He is happy to play with anyone that will have him, but especially likes playing with Duncan and Auggie. He tries to play ball, but he still needs some practice with that! We enjoy seeing Cody and are happy his parents trust us with his care. Congratulations, Cody, woo woo!

Miles Amirgholi, DOTW for 10/28-11/1!

Miles Amirgholi is the DOTW for 10/28-11/1! Miles is a 1-year old white Miniature Schnauzer who's been coming to Dog Days since March 2013, when he was just a little puppy. Miles is very energetic and loves to play, especially with Sammy V. and Waffles. He likes to play ball too, and always keeps himself very busy when he's here. He's very entertaining and acrobatic, so we always get a good chuckle watching his antics in the play area. We're happy to make Miles the DOTW this week. Congratulations, little man!

 

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!
