🚨 Employee Incident Report 🚨

Employee: Lauren (Manager)
Violation: Caught slacking on the job. 🤭

After a thorough investigation, it was determined that Sulley—the giant fur ball himself—requested emergency cuddle services. As management, Lauren felt it was her duty to ensure every pup receives the love and attention they deserve… even if that meant taking a brief cuddle break. 🥹🐾

The investigation also revealed one unfortunate side effect: Lauren returned to work completely covered in Sulley’s fur. We estimate she’ll bring home enough fluff to build a second Sulley. 😂

We’re happy to report Sulley gave the snuggles a 10/10 and Lauren has been cleared to return to work… after finding about 47 lint rollers.

Can you really blame her? ❤️🐶

🍂🎃 IT’S AUGUST 1ST… SO BASICALLY IT’S FALL. 🎃🍂

Is it still 90 degrees outside? Maybe. ☀️
Are we choosing to ignore that? Absolutely. 😂

Fall is getting closer, which means seasonal treats are coming to Tail Waggin’ Ranch! 🐾🍁

Of course, we couldn’t possibly serve anything without extensive quality control… so our highly trained team of professional product testers has been hard at work. 🐶🔬

Their testing process includes:
👃 Thorough sniff inspection
👅 Multiple taste tests (for accuracy, obviously)
👀 Staring at us until a second sample is provided
🐾 And the official tail-wag seal of approval

Yesterday’s test treat was PUMPKIN PIE 🥧
These were made with pure pumpkin puree, a “crust” made of oats, peanut butter, and plain greek yogurt… and with a swirl of whipped cream of course! We put them in the freezer for some extra enrichment and enjoyment on a hot day! Our amazing Assistant Manager, Kennedy, is such a little chef 👩🏼‍🍳

So far, our testers, Tucker, Finn, Zoe, and Sassy, have reported that more research is necessary. Convenient. 😂

Stay tuned to see what fall goodies make the final menu! 🎃🍎🍂

✨ Bubbles make everything better! 🫧🐾

Who says bubble time is just for kids? Our pups and kennel attendants had an absolute blast chasing, popping, and playing with bubbles today! From zoomies across the play yard to the look of pure excitement with every floating bubble, it was impossible not to smile.

We love finding simple ways to make every daycare day extra fun and enriching. After all, a happy dog is a tired dog! 💙

Would your pup be the fearless bubble chaser or the one trying to figure out where they disappeared to?
