Bad morning for Mommy and me

On the way into work this morning, Mommy and I were in an accident. We are doing fine, but I'm still a little shaken up. Our car is going to need some repairs. I'm spending most of my day on the office couch, so I had to get some details on the playrooms from Tiki (Golden Retriever).

We were excited about getting here to meet another new friend. Tucker (Golden Retriever) is here for his first day of daycare today. He seems to like us, especially Molly (Mountain Cur) and Chloe (Brittany). He also sniffed some with Betsy (Cocker Spaniel). Our other friends today are Cooper (Golden Retriever), Koda (Shepherd Mix), Teddy (Bichon/Poodle), Koco (Lab), Mason (Border Collie) and Jackson (Border Collie). Koco, Koda and Cooper were wrestling together. Teddy and Koda like running laps together, too.


I have exciting news to share - Dolly (Lab/Hound) went to live with her new family this weekend! She is such a good girl and deserves the very best. We'll miss her, but know it's better to go home to your family.


We had a busy weekend. Mommy did some make up lessons for Puppy Kindergarten and we had two more new faces for Saturday morning daycare. Kain (Catahoula Leopard Dog) and Riley (Lhasa Poo) joined Falko (Schnauzer), Betsy, Chloe, Koda, Teddy, and Dolly for a fun day. We had the overhead door open, so we could run in and out all we wanted. I love warm weather!

A cat in daycare?

I am so tired from such a busy week at the Lodge! We had our first cat for daycare today! Tigger's family was moving and he needed a place to stay for a few hours. He hung out in the kitchen, so he didn't spend any time with the rest of us. His sister Daisy (Beagle mix) played with all of us in the playrooms though. She really liked running around with Mason (Border Collie). We also had Lily (Weimaraner), Jackson (Border Collie), Lucy (Cockapoo), Cooper (Maltese), Cooper (Golden Retriever), Tiki (Golden Retriever), Betsy (Cocker Spaniel), Teddy (Bichon/Poodle), Dolly (Lab/Hound), and Mauby (Sheltie mix). We got to spend a lot of time outside today, because the weather was so nice. Chloe (Brittany) and Koda (Shepherd mix) joined the crowd later in the day to spend the weekend with us. We're going to have so much fun!

Boy am I tired!

What a busy day today! We had a happening crowd in both rooms, but I think the large room wins for overall energy level. We had Hank (Shepherd mix), JJ (Lab mix), Molly (Mountain Cur), Parker (English Bulldog), Dodger (Golden Retriever), Koco (Lab), Blitz (Bearded Collie mix), Poppy (Bearded Collie), Mattie (English Bulldog), and Jager (Boxer). Welcome Jager. I hope he enjoyed his first day with us. I'm pretty sure he did. Hank and Dodger hung out together, but Dodger left at nap time. He must have gotten worn out from playing with Blitz, too. Mattie and Parker met for the first time today and seemed to instantly know they had some connection. In a shocking development, JJ and Koco actually played more with the bulldogs than with each other.

In the small dog we had a peppy crowd. It's too bad the border collies weren't here today. It looked like we had a little flock of sheep. Our white dog crew consisted of Chico (Lhasa Poo), Cooper (Maltese) and Teddy (Bichon/Poodle). We also had Callie (Sheltie), Mauby (Sheltie mix), Tiki (Golden Retriever), Dolly (Lab/Hound), and Betsy (Cocker Spaniel). Chico and Mauby played together a lot, and I joined in on the fun. Cooper has been nervous about the floor in the playroom and actually ran around a little bit inside today. Hooray Cooper! Dolly and Tiki played hard in the morning but were ready to nap early. Good thing we have beds in the playroom for breaks. Teddy and Betsy are both here for the first time today and fit in perfectly. Welcome!

Time to start puppy class!

Mommy is getting things ready for the next round of Puppy Kindergarten, which starts tonight. It's always fun to meet the new little babies. It makes me feel so grown up.
Today playing with me are Sage (Pug), Jackson (Border Collie), Mason (Border Collie), Tiki (Golden Retriever), Molly (Mountain Cur), Koda (Shepherd mix), JJ (Lab mix), Mauby (Sheltie mix), and Dolly (Lab/Hound). Everyone got along perfectly today. We helped Renee (Human) work a little more on the murals in the big dog room and enjoyed running around in the snow.
Tomorrow is going to be really busy, so I need to rest up. There's a chance we'll break our previous attendance record.

I love being a dog!

Another super fun day here at the Lodge! We are welcoming Oliver (Yorkie) and Ruby (Papillon) on their first days with us. They enjoyed playing with each other and with Cooper (Maltese). Little Ruby doesn't realize how small she is and wants to play with everyone she meets. Molly (Beagle), Mauby (Sheltie mix), Guinness (Terrier mix) and I had a great time together. Jackson (Border Collie), Mason (Border Collie), Pumpkin (Border Collie mix) and Abby (Border Collie mix) came for the afternoon. There is still plenty of snow to run around in. I wore myself out early today and took some nice long naps on the couch. This working thing is a lot more work than I can take.

In the big room, we had Jethro (Lab mix), JJ (Lab mix), Koco (Lab), Dolly (Lab/Hound), Tiki (Golden Retriever), Breezie (Boxer), and Rowdy (Boxer) all together. Dolly and Tiki spent some time sleeping on the bed. Like me, they come every day and know how tiring it can be. Jethro, JJ, and Koco were a little team most of the morning, although they played a lot with Breezie and Rowdy, too. Rowdy hadn't been in the big room before but fit in really well.

Cooper loves the snow!

We are having a great time in the snow today. I think we all like it, but Cooper (Golden Retriever) loves it the most. There's a picture of him just plopping down in it. Even Dolce (Yorkie) seemed to like the snow a little. Mauby (Sheltie mix) and Sasha (Shiba Inu) played together again today. Mauby chased balls and Sasha chased her. JJ (Lab mix) wrestled with Midnight (Lab) for most of the morning. He also played with Dolly (Lab/Hound) and snuggled with her on the bed. Chico (Lhasa Poo) may have a little crush on Mauby already. He really liked hanging out with her today.

We have a temporary visitor here from Open Arms today too. We have been calling him Neo (Mastiff) but he doesn't have a name yet. He stopped to stay with us on his way to his new home. We don't know if we will see him again but wish him well.

Mommy says to remind everyone that they can "friend" us on Facebook to see our photo albums. Just search for "Cold Nose Lodge."

Trisha has a new home!

I decided to do a Sunday post, because we have exciting news to share. Trisha (Lab/Hound) went to her new home today! We're hoping she will come to visit us, since she will be living in the area. She has a new big sister Lab who is welcome to come visit, too.

We have a great weekend crowd. Parker (English Bulldog) came for his first day on Saturday and wore himself out. He played with Jager (German Shorthair Pointer) and Midnight (Lab) in the big room. Also new this weekend is Falko (Schnauzer). He played with Parker in the small room and also with Sasha (Shiba Inu), Mauby (Sheltie mix), Trisha and Dolly (Lab/Hound). Sasha and Mauby are really good friends already and like to pal around. Dolce (Yorkie) came in today to join us for the rest of the weekend and fits in well with the other girls.
