First Time Away and Ice Cream

I picked Dhali and Tibby up from their overnight stay tonight.  It was Dhali's first time staying away from home.  I think it will be their first and last time at this place.  I don't want to say where it was, because it is a very nice place and if it's what you like then you would be very happy, but for my dogs it wasn't a perfect fit. I just like Woof Dah better.

Yeah, there are a lot of dogs running around at Woof Dah, but it works better for Tibby (have to see for Dhali).

Unfortunately they don't take un-neutered dogs or dogs under 15lbs, so Dhali has some growing to do before he can try Woof Dah out.

If I'm going to pay $255 for 35 hours of care then I want someone to be with them 24/7 (like they are at Woof Dah).

For $255 I want them to have more than 4 hours of playtime.

For $255 I want a report card.

For $255 I want some pictures and I want to watch them on a web cam.

At Woof Dah I know that I can always see what they are doing during the day and I know that someone is watching them at night (sleeping with them).

They get to play 24/7.

Tibby has never gotten in the car, after a visit to Woof Dah, and whined for 30 mins.  When we stopped both dogs had to poop really, really bad.  I think they had been in their 'suite' waiting to be let out to potty.  Usually Tibby gets in the car, rolls onto her back and goes to sleep for a couple days.  Tonight both dogs were wound up, bouncing - until they collapsed after a little while at home.

In an ideal world I could find someone to stay at my house and take care of them.  $255 for 35 hours - anyone interested????  :P

It can all be fixed with a little ice cream!  We stopped for a snack on the way home and Dhali had his first ice cream :)  Here was the post last year about Tibby's first ice cream.  Same Culver's and everything LOL!  Dhali and Tibby say they will be Culver's spokes dogs ANYTIME.

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Hello!  My name is Moe! justkidding!"

And a video of the ice creaminess.  They were very well behaved and shared like good doggies.  It was a really busy parking lot and Tibby did a good job of being relaxed.  I think she has finally figured out the crate is a safe place.

Woof Dah, A Prize and Sleepy Crate

Tibby stayed at Woof Dah from 7:30 AM on Saturday to 7:30 PM Sunday.    As usual, she had a great time.  She was sitting on the same bench as she was last time I picked her up.  I think she was tired.  She was watching the other dogs and yawning.  So cute! 

When I dropped her off on Sat. she went right into the pack and started mingling with the other dogs.  Sniffed an Aussie's rear, checked out 2 white Standard Poodles, skirted a couple Dobermans, play bowed to a pug.   And then she went poop on the floor.  Oops!  She must have really had to go.

We finally collected 5 bark bucks.  If you pack your dog's food the right way, Woof Dah gives you a bark buck each time your dog stays for boarding.  When you collect 5 you can turn them in for a prize.  This is Tibby with her prize.  It was the only choice with pink.  Tibby likes pink toys.  The only toy she has ever actually chosen for herself was/is pink.

Yes!  I know I took a ton of pictures.  But people!  This is proof that Tibby loves well, likes a lot her crate.  It is amazing!  She chose to sleep in her crate.  All by herself!  The top is even closed.  She used to be scared of things above her head.  She went into her crate and scratched around, making a nest, and then curled up and went to sleep.  So sweet!

Somebody is tired.  What a cute little tired baby.  And Catty.  :)

Here is Tibby's report card for this visit.  She likes being outside and was tired at night.

P.S.  36 hours was $85  Yeah, Tibby is a spoiled doggie.

Weekend Wrap Up

Final post about the week end.

These first 2 pics are of Tibby on the way to Woof Dah.

It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there.

Notice her nicely groomed hair (well, at least combed out).  Combing use to be easy, but now that she is blowing her puppy coat?  Well, I will just say that I comb Tibby out every night and it involves a comb, ear plugs, a long sleeved shirt and gloves.  Use your imagination.

Tibby slept on the drive to Woof Dah

AND........................

she really slept on the way home.

Tibby with her head on my lap.

O matty dog. :( 

Oh well, she had fun rough housing with her new friends.

I've worked on these matts for the last 2 days and they are getting better.

Sleepy.

When we finally got home after 3+ hours (the roads were horrible - drifting and icy) Tibby couldn't decide what to do first: eat, chase Catty, go outside, play with her toys, drink or sleep some more.

Tibby's Still Not Here.....

Tibby is still at Woof Dah.

Hopefully she had a nice night sleeping with her new buddies in the Slumber Bay.

Now she is probably stealing toys or curled up in the pirate ship sleeping.

I hope she isn't missing me!
