First day of doggy daycare

CatherineM · 06-10-2011, 12:48 PM

Gandy went to doggy day care for the first time today. We are at a function all day, and I didn't want him to have be at home for 8 hours. He's good for 4 hours, but I also wanted to see if this place would be a good place for boarding. It's only 4 blocks away, but he got carsick. He really hates the car. He didn't want to go in either. I'm having flashbacks to my oldest's first day of kindergarten.

Just think how much fun he will hopefully have! More doggies to play with, so much better than being stuck home alone with nothing to do

I bet he has a blast and is wore out when you get him back!

He played so hard that he came in, got a drink, and has been sleeping in my lap ever since. My leg is starting to go to sleep, but he makes a nice laptop desk.

Awww

I wish we had doggy daycares here just for something to do. There aren't any dog parks around here either. The joys of small towns! Glad he had a good day of playing hard!

Sounds like a good day in the life of a basset. I'll bet he's pulling your arm off trying to get through the door next time he goes there

Aww, I'm glad he had fun. I agree that next time he will be so excited to go.

Princess Buttercup can only tolerate half days in the little den (you know the side for shitzus & sissies).

Even after that she come inside flops down on the entry rug & doesn't move!! But whoo wee you ask her if she wants to go play & the race to the door is on!

That is so darn cute...and I am envious...we don't have a doggy daycare or even a dog park here either....although we do have lots of beaches and parks to run on...but all on leash for my baby Woody...

He and the hubby are both snoring up a storm. The big guy had as full a day as the little guy.
