Art Day

Last Monday was Art Project day. We got finger paint and blank canvases and let them at it! Molly was our star artist; she had absolutely no trouble getting her paws dirty to do the work.

Two of Norman's favorite things: Some love and then a nap.

luna, macho

Macho, one of our very best-behaved kids. Also generous with the kisses and snuggles, he will look with those gorgeous eyes and you can very nearly hear him telepathically saying, "I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!"

Luna, Macho's little sister. Loves balls and snoozing with her siblings, jumping off decks in competitions, and generally being completely adorable.

Macho and Luna's sister, Beauty, is recovering from surgery so we haven't seen her for a while. We are thinking of her and hoping she'll be well enough soon to come visit us!

Belen and Tucker

...trying to decide if they're going to play. But interrupted! Belen had to go home right after this video was shot.

Six!

We are 6 Years Old!

We are very excited to be turning 6. Join us on April 1st for cake and a tour of our remodeled facility.

We like to party, so all week long (March 30-April 3) we will be celebrating with our dogs! Sign your dog up for birthday week before space fills up!

Tuesday - Pool Day

Up for adoption: Tucker

Meet Tucker, our new rescue! He's a two-year-old Rat Terrier/Basenji mix we're fostering and training. He is super sweet, a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. He loves to give hugs and going for a walk is his favorite thing to do! He gets along great with other dogs but should not be adopted by a family with cats or other small animals.

We are training him with the basics, like sit, stay, come, and to wait at doors before invited through. He's coming along quickly!

Adoption fees are $150, and you will also receive his kennel. Neat trick: When it's bedtime, all you have to do is say, "Tucker, kennel!" and he runs right in!

Valentines

Since it's getting close to Valentine's Day, I thought I'd feature some of our Doggie Oasis couples. There's nothing cuter than when two dogs really love each other.

Siv (GSP) and Keoni (lab) caught cuddling.

Riley and Roxy laughing at some inside puggle joke.

Mocha and Fritzi in a rare pause in their all-day wrestling matches. It may just be easier to upload a video of them:

Double Trouble: Riley and Jake

Double the puggle, double the fun. As you can see, they're still at it when almost everyone else is already exhausted!



We're really going to miss Riley puggle. His mom is moving to Pennsylvania next week. Safe travels, sweetie!

News, photos

Construction on our bigger side and potty room are almost done. I peeked under the construction plastic and it looks fantastic! We added tile along the bottom of the walls, some new wall coverings, and resealed the rubber mats. The potty room is getting new walls and a refresher coat of friction floor treatment. I'm sure the dogs are as eager as we are to have their potty room back!

Also, Victoria, who has worked for Doggie Oasis for three years, is now a groomer! She starts in February; call or stop by to check out her prices. She will work Wedesday-Friday from 11am-7pm. As always, we still offer self baths for $10 and if your dog is staying with us, we will give him or her a bath for $25.

On to the good stuff, the pictures!


Boomer is on the left and Triscuit is on the right. Triscuit is our most frequent guest; she and Boomer started at Doggie Oasis as puppies together. We haven't seen Boomer in over a year, but I guess you never forget your first love, because they immediately remembered each other and began playing. Triscuit is very particular with the dogs she chooses to play with, and Boomer is the only one she ever let sit on her head and chew on her butt. Now that is love.

cast: Raja

This big sweetie is Raja. His tongue is too big for his head so he often walks around with his tongue out. I snapped this pic and he looks like he's poo-pooing something, but really he's just a big love bug and a perfect dog model. He has amazing patience for holding still, like he knows what you're doing with the little silver flashing box you're holding.

Cast: Riley puggle and Peyton Manning

Riley the puggle is our most frequent puggle guest. Like most puggles, he's got energy to play the entire day with more to spare! If you see a streak of tan out of the corner of your eye running at full speed, it's probably going to be Riley. He's a favorite wrestling partner for many of our high-energy guests.


Peyton Manning is a popular guy here at Doggie Oasis. Spry and handsome, if daycare were a high school, Peyton would definitely be captain of the basketball team. He gets all the girls and always has other dogs following him around, looking to him to show them what's cool.

Wow! It's 2009! We had a great holiday season. The staff had a wonderful time with Secret Santa this year. Some of us (who will remain nameless!) went a little crazy with the doggie treats and toys. We can't help it, we love our Doggie Oasis dogs so much!

As you can see, the blog hasn't been updated in almost a year because Michelle left Doggie Oasis. My name is Justina and I started working here in late July, and I hope to bring you more stories and even better, more pictures and videos this coming year.

To start off, I'm going to start posting some pictures of our crazy cast of characters (and characters they definitely are). Stay tuned!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Doggie Oasis dogs really know how to bring in the new year. We had over 30 dogs spend the night slumber party style. The ones who were able to make it to midnight howled 2008 in. They watched dog movies, played games, and posed for some great pictures. I will post some of the pictures later on. Heather and Rebekah were the brave staff members who brought in the new year with the dogs. An extra big thank you to them for taking such good care of everyone at the party. Sara and Ferra arrived with their party dresses on, and a good time was definitely had by all. We will do it again next year.

Look for information on our Valentine's day date night coming up!
