Room to Roam

It was a sign. Ollie's dog walker recently moved and told me Tuesday that she's resigning. Although they're hiring a replacement for his group, it was the perfect opportunity for us to discontinue the service and try a local doggy daycare program. It's award winning, so we hope Ollie digs it when we go for a visit in January.

The thing I really like about doggy daycare is that the beast gets to be off leash for about two hours, running and romping across a couple acres with his canine buds. With his dog walker, he had to stay on a leash the entire time. Otherwise, he'd take off and never be seen again. It's a little pricier than the dog walking service, but I really think he'll enjoy the socialisation. 

I love the company's video. Room to roam, kiddie pools in summer, a place to warm up in winter. And the best part - pick up and drop off service from our house. You give them a key so they whisk him away between 9:30-10:30 and return him from 12:30-1:30. I'm free to run errands, attend meetings, etc. and don't have to worry about sticking around for the doggy van. Sounds like a win-win to me!
