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!

Max George, DOTW for 9/23-9/27!

Max George is the DOTW for 9/23-9/27! Max is a 5 year old probably chocolate Lab mix (with something small, because he's kind of a littler guy at about 40 lbs). Max has been coming to Dog Days for a few years now, since November of 2010. He is one of the sweetest boys in the large dog play area, and we love having him visit with us. He is pretty picky about who he plays with, but really likes Chloe W. and Daisy A. He's kind of a ladies' man. :) He can be very vocal when he gets excited, but otherwise, he's a pretty laid back fellow. We love showering him with attention when he's here, and are so happy to make him the DOTW this week. Congratulations, Max, we love you!

Brody Gary, DOTW for 9/16-9/20!

Brody Gary is the DOTW for 9/16-9/20! Brody is an almost 2 year old bichon frises mix who's been coming to Dog Days since mid-2012. Brody is one of the sweetest small dogs we have, and loves his people. He's a great cuddler and snuggler. But Brody also has some really good friends in the small dog area, like Brutus and Sammy V. He's a gentle boy with a not too rough play style, so he gets along well with everyone in the play area. He's a stable, laid back fellow and we always enjoy having him come visit with us. What a sweetheart! Congratulations, little man, woo woo!

Lake Gammon, DOTW for 9/9-9/13!

Lake Gammon is the DOTW for 9/9-9/13! Lake is a 1.5 year old yellow Lab who's been coming to Dog Days since she was just about 4 months old, so she's grown up here. Lake has lots of friends and is a really active girl - her best friends are Miami, Riley B. and Woody. Not only does she like to play rough and tumble with the other dogs, but she's also really ball focused. She says "as long as you throw the ball, I'll go get it." She's not a girly girl either, but rolls around on the floor like a true tomboy. We love Lake, and are happy to make her the DOTW this week. Congratulations, Lake!
