๐Ÿฆ Breed Spotlight: The Little Lion Dog! ๐Ÿพโœจ
Today we are celebrating the "Big Personalities in Small Packages"โ€”the Shih Tzu! Known as the "Lion Dog" in Tibet, these pups weren't bred to hunt or herd; they were bred for one very specific job: to be royalty's best friend. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿฏ

Why we love them at daycare:

The "Shih Tzu Sit": If you see a dog sitting with their legs tucked perfectly under them like a little statue, itโ€™s probably a Shih Tzu.

Master Snugglers: They are professional-level lap warmers. If there is a free lap, they will find it! ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ

The Attitude: They have a hilarious "regal" air about them, but they aren't afraid to get silly during playtime. ๐Ÿคก

A Fun Fact: The name "Shih Tzu" translates to "Little Lion," but they are also nicknamed the "Chrysanthemum Dog" because the hair on their faces grows in every direction, making them look like a blooming flower! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘ƒ

๐Ÿ‘‡ SHIH TZU PARENTS: Is your pup a "Lion" (brave and bold) or a "Flower" (sweet and delicate)? Drop a photo of your royal fur-baby in the comments! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‡

โœจ Employee Spotlight: Meet Maggie! โœจ

Weโ€™re excited for you to get to know Maggie, one of our awesome Enrichment Counselors here at FG!

๐Ÿพ With dogs for: 5 years
๐Ÿพ At FG since: February 2025

Maggie loves helping dogs stay happy, active, and engaged throughout their day with us. When sheโ€™s not spending time with your pups, youโ€™ll likely find her knitting, hiking, paddleboarding, gardening, or enjoying live music. ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŒฟ

At home, Maggie has three cats who keep life interesting:
๐Ÿฑ Kristofferson โ€“ a flame point Siamese
๐Ÿฑ Patrick โ€“ an orange tabby
๐Ÿฑ Theodore โ€“ a seal point Siamese

If Maggie were a dog, she says sheโ€™d be a Poodle because sheโ€™s loyal, friendly, loving, calmโ€ฆ but a little sassy sometimes! ๐Ÿ˜„

โญ Favorite dog breed: Golden Retriever
๐ŸฆŠ Dream pet: A Fennec Fox

Next time you see Maggie around daycare, be sure to say hi! Your pups are in great hands. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’›

The "Boarding Hangover" ๐Ÿ’ค

Ever wonder why your dog is a total "couch potato" for two days after a stay with us? ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ๐Ÿ•

Itโ€™s a common mystery! Owners often worry their pup is sad or tuckered out from stress, but itโ€™s actually the opposite. We call it the "Boarding Hangover!" ๐ŸŽ“

Even when dogs have their own cozy, private space to rest, being in a new environment with different smells, sounds, and the excitement of neighbors keeps their brains on "high alert." They are processing so much fun and sensory data that itโ€™s like a 24/7 workout for their mind! ๐Ÿง โœจ

They aren't sadโ€”theyโ€™re just catching up on the "Zโ€™s" they traded for all those social hours. Enjoy the quiet evening; theyโ€™ll be back to their usual selves once their "batteries" are recharged! ๐Ÿ”‹

๐Ÿ‘‡ TELL US: Does your dog go straight to their bed or straight to the couch after a stay? ๐Ÿ›Œ

๐ŸŽ“ The Grand Finale: MARCH GRADUATION! ๐Ÿพโœจ
Happy Monday! It is officially the final week of our "Spring into Learning" month, and we are putting our pups to the ultimate test! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ช

This week, we aren't introducing anything new. Instead, we are combining EVERYTHING weโ€™ve practiced all month long into a "Grand Finale" obstacle course.

The Big Test Includes:

๐Ÿฆถ Texture Transition: Can they stay focused while moving from grass to crinkle mats?

๐Ÿชœ The Obstacle Gauntlet: Combining the tunnels, hurdles, and slaloms into one flow!

๐Ÿ‘ƒ The Scent Search: Finding hidden rewards tucked away in the "Garden Path."

๐ŸŒณ The Confidence Walk: Showing off their calm, brave focus outdoors.

Itโ€™s "Big Test Day" all week long! Weโ€™ve loved watching your pups grow in confidence and skill over the last 30 days. Stay tuned for photos of our "Graduates" in action! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽ“
