November Dog of the Month; Lucy

About Lucy:

Lucy is a very sweet mixed breed pup. Her families best guess about her breeds are; a little lab, shepherd and some time of hound. But really Lucy is just all of the best parts of all breeds! November is the perfect time for Lucy to be dog of the month because she is celebrating her 1 year Birthday on November 3^rd!! She is all grown up and has become such a great “dog.” Lucy loves her toy “Kathy the Kitty.” She loves to squeak her while she is playing. Lucy also loves treat time! She may not be a very good dinner and breakfast eater, but treats are definitely different! Lucy’s all time favorite treats are “snausages” and “peanut butter twists.” If Lucy could just eat those for breakfast and dinner, she would be a great eater. Too bad Mom wouldn’t go for that! Since Lucy loves her treats so much, she has learned to perform lots of tricks. Some of her best tricks include “sit,” “shake,” and “lay down.” She is without a doubt a very smart puppy.

One of Lucy’s favorite ways to start the day is by waking up to her Mom gently scratching her belly. Lucy takes it slow while she wakes up so she can savor all the relaxing scratches. Lucy’s favorite breakfast is wild rice and salmon flavored. After breakfast Lucy will be ready to come play with all of her friends here at Ruffledale! They she is wild and crazy Lucy! Lucy’s family picked her out at a Petsmart adoption day. One of the reasons they loved Lucy so much is because she was out of her kennel “hugging” the volunteer and “giving kisses” on his cheeks! Lucy certainly knows how to win over hearts. Once Lucy was home, she pottied all over in her new house…..Woops!! Then Lucy found the spot under her Mom’s bed where she would take things she is not supposed to have. That spot is still Lucy’s haven for hiding things that are “off limits.” Naughty Lucy!

Lucy loves going to visit her Grandma Wilkes in Wyoming. She likes to pretend she is tough and chase around the horses. She also gets to play with all of her cousins. Seeing family is always great. Also in Wyoming Lucy gets to take hikes in the Beautiful Mountains. Lucy has been such a great Puppy for her family. She has stolen all of their hearts and it isn’t hard to see why. Lucy is such a sweet girl. Now that she is one, she will continue to be a great “dog” for her family. Lucy loves getting lots and lots of kisses from all of her family. She likes kisses from “Ruffledale girls” too! We all have loved getting to watch Lucy grow up (even though she is still the bouncy and lively pup we all love!) Happy Birthday Little Lucy!!!

Trunk or Treat was a great success!

October Dog of the Month; Buddy!

Buddy the water dog!

About Buddy:

Buddy is a sweet lab mix who always loves coming to play at daycare. Buddy is 2 years old. His family got him when he was already 6 months old so they just guessed his birthday to be May 19^th of 2008. Buddy is a very silly boy. He loves to go swimming (no wonder he had so much fun at doggie swim day)! He is so gracefull in the water and is definitely a “water dog.” Buddy also loves to play Frisbee and would love to just play and play and play…. No rest required!! Although summer activities are great, Buddy also loves the snow regardless of his short fur coat. In the winter he loves it when his Mom and Dad take him snowshoeing! It is the best when it is so deep he can barely keep his head above the snow. Buddy thinks it is fun to go tumbling down all of the hills…. the crazier the better! Once he takes a good tumble down a hill then it is back up to fall down another! Crazy Buddy!

After a good long fun filled day in the snow or sun, Buddy loves to have the top of his head rubbed and scratched. Behind his ears is another spot that Buddy loves rubbed while he relaxes. But when Buddy is tired he HATES it when you touch his paws. If he is awake and active it is fine, but once he is cozy it must tickle too much! Buddy knows lots of tricks. Some of his favorites are “Roll Over” and “360˚.” Buddy will do any of these tricks and more if you spoil him with his favorite treat; Carrots (at least it is healthy ).

When Buddy came to his new home, his Mom was out of town on a work trip so it was just him and his new Dad at home. But how could Mom resist his sweet face when she came home to see him! Buddy followed his Dad all around the house for the first little while. Surprisingly when they went on their first walk, Buddy was a perfect angel! That was the final thing for Buddy to work himself into his new parents hearts. Good Boy Buddy! They knew he would be the perfect dog for them. Then Buddy got to come to daycare and make lots of new friends here! He is always so sweet and happy to be here. We all feel fortunate that we have gotten a chance to love Buddy too! Buddy is not only great with all dogs, people and kids, but he lives for the chance to get to meet everyone!

We love you Buddy!!

SEPTEMBER DOG OF THE MONTH SHILOH!!

About Shiloh;

Shiloh is a wild and crazy Catahoula and Lab mix who comes regularly to daycare here at Ruffledale! She just turned a year old in July (her family isn’t exactly sure of the date since she was a “pound puppy”)! Shiloh is always so happy while she is here, really she is happy all the time. Shiloh has been coming to Ruffledale since she was about 7 months old. We’ve all loved watching her grow up! Shiloh loves everyone. One of her best friends is Charlie, the 140 pound great dane mix, but she also loves her “little” friends and any other dog she comes across! All dogs are greeted by Shiloh with very boistrous and happy “kisses.” Shiloh has never met a dog she doesn’t love.

When Shiloh is hangin’ out at home her favorite thing to do is run free on the family ranch. Of course, she loves to chase the chickens, horses and butterflys, and if there is a mud puddle of any kind she finds it to dig in. We also have heard a little rumor that she loves to eat chicken poop, she thinks it’s quite yummy!!

Shiloh is definitely A special pup, she has survived a lot during her first year. She was rescued by her mom from a shelter Ten hours Roundtrip from her house! She saw shiloh online and new that they would have a special bond. She drove all the way there to take her home. After making it to her new home, her mom discovered she was suffering from a severe bladder infection. Not long after, she discovered Shiloh had Parvo!! With her families love and care she survived both of these ailments. When they thought the worst had passed shiloh GOT A blockage FROM SOMETHING NAUGHTY SHE ATE. LUCKILY AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF BEING SICK SHE FINALLY PASSED THE BLOCKAGE AND AVOIDED SURGERY. then SHE HAD TO HAVE a dew claw surgery! POOR SHILOH! It was not over yet though, Shiloh thought it would be interesting to run through a barbed wire fence (bad idea,) she had to be rushed to the vet for stitches!

We all love seeing shiloh at daycare, Her happiness does reflect on us and the other pups, she brightens everyones day!!!
