Our very first Dobie Ranch guest update ❤️
Hi everyone, it’s Onyx here! One week at Dobie Ranch and let me tell you… I had a pretty amazing time. I was the very first guest ever, so I guess you could say I helped kick off the Dobie Ranch adventure.
One of my favorite parts of my stay was all the adventures on my daily walks. I even met horses on one of them - I thought they were pretty big and very interesting 😄 Because I had a good recall and listened to Nana, I earned the privilege of joining the pack on unleashed walks too. Some days were extra exciting and included three walks, so there was always something new to sniff and explore. Between all the adventures, playtime, and excitement, every day was packed with fun 😄
Daily walks ✅
Daily treats ✅
Playtime and cuddles ✅
Spa day (mani-pedi included 😄) ✅
New friends ✅
And then there was Simba 😄 I decided pretty quickly that wherever Simba went, I should probably go too. I followed him everywhere because I definitely didn’t want to miss out on anything. We basically became best friends and stuck together all week.
I also got to go on a road trip to watch softball and I was such a good girl. No barking from me - I just took it all in and enjoyed the adventure. Everywhere we went, people kept coming over to say hi and give me cuddles and attention, which I was very happy about.
I even got my own little spa day during my stay - complete with a mani-pedi (apparently humans call it a nail trim 😄).
And then there was Karma ❤️ She’s the wise lady of the pack at 11 years old and usually likes doing her own thing. But even she couldn’t resist me forever. By the end of the week she had warmed up to me, and I think we became pretty good friends.
Oh, and my mom got frequent daily updates with photos and videos of all my adventures and exploits, so she got to keep up with everything I was doing while I was away.
The photo of me sleeping hard on the car ride home says it all 💤 A week full of adventures, friends, treats, walks, cuddles, and fun can really wear a girl out.
At Dobie Ranch, dogs don’t just stay here - they become part of the family.
The best part? I already know this isn’t goodbye ❤️ I’ll be back in December for a six-month stay, and I can’t wait for more adventures and more memories together.
