Welcome to Wednesday!
Today’s crew is fetch crazy, a little cheeky, and definitely keeping us on our toes! A few reminders about manners, but otherwise, we’re off to a cracking start 🐾

🌀 Luka is in full swing—gone is the shy giant! His excited spins are unmatched, and those long legs mean he’s usually first to the ball (especially if it crinkles).
🙄 Cerbie is once again testing how many greys he can give me in one day. We’re working on space and boundaries, buddy.
🐶 Max is with us while his parents whale-watch, and while the gate was a challenge at first, he’s now wrestling with the best of them.
🧀 Lucy is diving right into the action—unless you blink, then she’s under the stairs again.
🎯 Stormy is front and centre for fetch, any ball, any direction, she’s there.
👯‍♀️ Sadie wants to stay close to Stormy but ends up just chasing the chaos like a true sibling sidekick.
🐾 Lady is glued to Bella, realising she’s actually faster… though don’t get too close or she’ll let you know!
🔥 Winnie is in her sassy phase—little dog, big energy. We’ve had to have a few chats about keeping those teeth to ourselves.
🎲 Blessing can’t decide who to bother first—wrestling, fetch, tub testing—she’s got her paws in everything.
🐕 Drago is trying to herd the chaos like it’s his job. Fetch group = flock.
📣 Clover is showing off her excited yips every time the ball flies—she’s just so thrilled to be here.
💋 Ellie is considering fetch… but also enjoying some sunbaking and, of course, handing out her daily dose of kisses.
⚡ Zeus is still our fetch fanatic, though he’d like his own personal fetch game, please. Too many dogs, not enough balls.

If your Wednesday feels a little slow, just know we’re over here living in fast-forward. Happy paws, wagging tails, and definitely more coffee needed ☕🐶

🎬 Afternoon Load-Up – Tuesday Edition

Gold stars were flying today for Mahi, Luther, Diego, Marcy, Ellie, Charlie, and Zeno – everyone sat like the well-trained pros they are 🥇👏

🚦Zeus, Onyx, and Quest all needed a little extra encouragement to remember what “sit” means before hopping in the van… but hey, we got there in the end 😅

Another daycare day wrapped – tails wagging, paws loaded, and everyone ready for a well-earned nap 🐾💤

☀️ Happy Tuesday! Anyone else stoked that the weather is finally warming up? 🙌 Yep — us too! And today’s van crew is bringing the heat with zoomies, wrestling, and fetch like you wouldn’t believe 🐾

🎯 Peppa is surprising us all with her wrestling moves before diving head-first into fetch — fast enough to beat anyone to the ball 💨
📣 Charlie is reminding everyone (very loudly) that he is present and not interested in sharing his personal space, thank you very much!
🎾 Zeno is on his best behaviour today — fetch ✅ wrestle ✅ zoom ✅ he’s making the most of his Tuesday!
💥 Mahi is well and truly confident now, wrestling with the big dogs, zooming in and out of the tub, and mastering the post-bath zoomies 🛁
🐕‍🦺 Luther is loving his first day back — full zoomies, fetch, and finally tracking down his favourite kong ball for some quality chewing time
☀️ Diego is splitting his day between sunbaking, handing out kisses, and joining in any and all wrestling matches
🔍 Onyx is happily patrolling the yard like a good boy, sniffing every inch for any changes — nope, just some new fetch games!
💋 Ellie is observing first, then giving everyone their daily smooches before hopping into the tub for a cool down
⚡ Zeus is stretching out those long legs and loving having the room to zoom at full speed — catch him if you can!
🐾 Marcy is pumped to have new friends to wrestle with — size doesn’t matter when you’re this playful!

💛 Enjoy this sneak peek into our Tuesday pack — and have a fantastic day! 🐶🌿

🎉 Welcome to Monday’s Van Daycare Session!
Ladies and gents, today’s crew is made up of ball-crazed sprinters, wrestle fiends, and sun-baking queens — let’s meet the gang, shall we?

🎾 Alice is serving fetch acrobatics! Twisting, tumbling, and tearing down the yard to make sure she gets there first every time.
🐾 Blessing is sticking close to anyone playing fetch, cooling off in the tub, and joining any wrestling match she can find.
💦 Freya is back after a little time off and can’t decide what’s best — fetch? ball washing in the tub? chasing friends? Why not all of the above!
🌀 Whiskey (after pretending he didn’t want to come this morning 🙄) is now diving head-first into every wrestling match with full commitment.
🌊 Butch did a quick lap of the yard, sniffed everything new, then claimed the tub and appointed himself official fetch supervisor.
⛄ Paddy thinks the tub is too cold, but he’s been sneaking into play when no one’s watching — trying to look cool while lowkey wrestling.
😤 Cerbie is pushing his luck today, throwing his weight around like he’s top dog… don’t worry, he’s been humbled. Middle-dog, buddy.
🦵 Luka is loving fetch (especially crinkle balls!) and using those long legs to outpace everyone.
💥 Quest wants to wrestle with anyone and everyone — don’t let the size fool you, he’s a gentle giant with the softest tackles.
😘 Stacie isn’t too sure about this whole fetch business just yet, but she’s handing out kisses like it’s her job.

Happy Monday, folks! If the weather isn’t cheering you up, hopefully our wagging tails, lolling tongues, and muddy paws will! 🐶

🐾 One Family, Two Dogs, Two Coats – Two Bath Styles! 🛁☀️

Winnie and Lady checked in after daycare for their post-playtime pamper, but with such different coats, their grooming needs were just as unique!

🐶 Winnie, with her short coat, had a regular bath to freshen up and banish that classic daycare dog smell. She handled her blow-dry with her usual dramatic flair (we promise it’s not out to get you, Winnie 😅), but came out looking—and smelling—fabulous!

🐕 Lady, with her long, luxurious collie coat, was treated to a Deluxe Bath using the soothing Smiley Dog® Goats Milk & Vanilla range. This gentle, soap-free formula is packed with nourishing goats milk and calming aloe vera, perfect for keeping sensitive skin happy and her coat soft, shiny, and smelling divine.

We followed up with multiple brush-outs to help manage that thick winter coat coming through, and a thorough blow-dry to fluff everything into place.

Both girls enjoyed a good sunbake to finish drying off the natural way, and a well-earned shark skin chew—because spa days are hungry work! 🦈✨

🎥 Afternoon Load-Up: Chaos Edition 😂
Let’s just say… today wasn’t our proudest moment, folks.

🌟 Lizzie was our only gold star sitter — immediate sit! But forgot to come when called. Still, effort counts!
👀 Jazz and Toby (yes, you two) tried the classic sneak-through-without-sitting move. Nice try.
😬 Zeno, Zeus, Blessing, and Alice all needed very stern reminders that sitting is, in fact, non-negotiable.
🙄 Butch and Paddy? Absolute refusal. “Sit? Never heard of her.”

💡 Cerbie and Quest actually nailed their sits, but couldn’t quite figure out why they weren’t being called. (Hint: You’re not going home yet, lads)

Here’s hoping next week’s pack remembers their manners — but hey, at least we all eventually got in the van, right? 🐾💛

11/07/2025

🎉 Happy Friday from the Hodgson Boarding van pack! 🎉
Today’s crew is wild, wiggly, and full of energy — and we wouldn’t have it any other way 🐾💨

🐺 Zeno is chasing after the dogs chasing the ball… with a few reminders that barking and growling isn’t actually part of fetch etiquette.
👑 Lady stuck to Nala’s side like always before deciding the best spot was right in the middle of the yard to supervise.
⚡ Winnie is out to prove that just because she’s the smallest doesn’t mean she can’t run the yard — the sass is strong with this one!
🐕‍🦺 Blessing is herding Alice like it’s her job, doing everything in her power to “help” with fetch… sort of.
🚀 Alice is twisting, turning, and launching herself at the ball. Is she bringing it back? Absolutely not. But she got there first and that’s what matters.
🦴 Toby is running quality control on the KONG tumblers — spoiler alert: they were not designed for continuous chewing.
🌞 Butch spent his morning in his favourite sunspot before taking a very classy dip in the bath.
🕵️‍♂️ Paddy is patrolling for any mysterious new smells and reminding the younger pups that growling doesn’t make friends.
👃 Jazz is putting Alice’s patience to the test before going off on a scent-based adventure of her own.
🛁 Lizzie is switching between dirt baths and water dips — clearly working toward the perfect mud spa combo.
🧐 Cerbie is conducting an important smell census and hoping Toby is up for a post-sniff wrestle.
🎯 Quest is on the hunt for a wrestling partner — will it be Jazz, Zeno, or Toby? Place your bets!
💥 R***r is steering clear of the drama, laser-focused on his mission: destroy every squeaky toy in the yard.
