adventures at the doggy daycare

[cassiesmom]

to love of all horses and everyone.

I am so, so sorry. I didn't mean to be mean, nasty, or place anyone on the defensive. I meant it just as it was. I didn't know that there could be such a thing as a white Doberman. I'm glad Heidi gets to go to the dog day care, that she gets love and care and fun. She might not meet a published standard but she is a member of a family and as far as I'm concerned, that what counts. She may have a genetic alteration, but it seems to me that she is still loved and cared for by her family just as much as any family loves their dog. I didn't mean to imply that she is any less special than any other dog. I am so sorry! When I first saw her picture, I thought she was a different breed of dog. :

Thank you,

Dogs: Emilio (shih tzu mix), Dolce (shih tzu mix), Buster (???), Ben (sheltie), Marti (brindle boxer)

When I worked yesterday, everything went really well. Ben seemed to have a lot more energy than when he first got here a week ago. He's an older dog, so I didn't expect him to be very energetic, but he really has perked up. He was running around outside, & barking at me for attention. Emilio is so freakin cute!!! I picked him up & he fell asleep in my lap . The same thing happened with Dolce. Buster kept trying to get in my lap, so I picked him up & cuddled with him as well. Marti was hyper as always. Every time Marti ran around with a toy, Buster would chase after her, & bark. It was really funny to watch. It was pretty quiet for the majority of my time there. The dogs slept a lot. Emilio slept in a box under the desk that I was sitting at. It was sooo adorable! I don't usually like little dogs that much, but I'm starting to get used to them. Don't get me wrong, big dogs are still my favorite! I updated the album, so there are some new pics . I'll be working both days next weekend, & there should be some new dogs there!

I'm working the night shift tonight. Wish me luck! I have to get up early & go down to the fair. I'm showing cows for the FFA at my school, which I'm president of

Dogs: Jubilee (mixed breed), Emilio (shih tzu mix), Dolce (shih tzu mix), Sable & Talon (german shepherds)

I worked the night shift last night. It wasn't so bad. I had all the dogs in the lobby with me. I set up a bunch of dog beds on the floor. I tried to sleep on the couch, but it wasn't very comfy, so I ended up sleeping on the floor with the dogs on a pile of dog beds . The only "scary" part about working there overnight is that the people who live upstairs make a lot of noise, & they stay up pretty late. They were playing loud mexican music until about 11pm. Their kid was stomping around too. I finally fell asleep around midnight. I woke up twice during the night, but I slept a lot better than I thought I would! The dogs were all very well-behaved, & went right to sleep when I turned the lights out. Sable & Talon were in their crates, Daisy (my dog) was on the couch, Dolce was in his dog bed, Emilio was in a box under the table (but I woke up with him curled up next to me), & Jubilee was in a dog bed. It was a good night . I wasn't afraid or anything. I mean, come on, I had 2 huge german shepherds with me!

I haven't been updating this as often as I've been working. I just haven't had the time. I've been working basically every weekend. Everything has been going fine
