Peeping Tom ( aka Lucky)

We had five precious doggies this week stay with us while their owners were traveling. This particular pooch would jump on the couch when the doorbell rang and peek out the curtain to see who was coming. I guess he was watching for his owners to come back. It was too cute. He is a rescued dog that is fortunate to have been adopted by the Chessons and will have a wonderful life from here on out.

Looks like a jail cell...!

We have a gate to our doggie's play area that keeps them seperated for a while and we always have them looking through it to see what we are doing. I don't know why, but they aren't content to sit around and watch movies. We usually have Lassie, or Milo and Otis on the TV but they always want to see what we are doing.

Our friend Hank, the English Bulldog, loves chewing on metal so he chews on the bars of the gate. Luckily they are pretty darn strong so he can't hurt a thing. Hank has been feeling bad lately. He has a really bad cold and we are hoping he will be better soon. We miss the little fellow and don't like it that he isn't feeling good.

Millie, one of our regulars, could jump over the previous gate so we got one a little taller and sometimes I think she is going to jump over this one. She can literally jump all the way to the top of the gate and one day when her owner came for her she jumped into her arms at the gate. Too funny.

Another Before and After

We see so many precious dogs at our shop. Sometimes when they come in they look a little shaggy. We try our best to send them home looking very special. This little poodle just needed a little trim and Joan performed her magic on her toenails. She looked pretty darn cute when she went home. We just love our before and afters.......!

Day Care fun

This is a picture I took a while back of three of our favorite doggie day care visitors. I can't believe how much Hank has grown since I took this picture. He has gotten so much bigger.

Bella and Milly are his best friends at the day care. When Bella came the first time she was not very social with us or any of the dogs. Now, after being with us several times she is always excited to come to see us and her doggie friends. I am not sure if it is just our company or if it has something to do with the homemade liver doggie treats....ha ha.We are always excited to see her.

Milly, our little mischevious one is one of the reasons we had to replace our baby gate. Milly could jump over it. Now we have a taller one and I swear I think one day she will jump high enough to make it over this one. She is such a little mess.

Hank tries to help some new friends!

We have more fun with the Wilcox's English Bulldog Hank. He makes for some great photo ops and he is always making us laugh. We caught him in the act of trying to help two new friends escape from their kennel. Jeff Jenkins two daschunds were in the kennel waiting for their turn at the doggie wash and Hank decided he didn't want them locked up. It reminded us of one of those funny dog movies where the dog opens up the cages and lets all of the dogs loose. If Hank could just chew through a metal chain they would have been footloose and fancy free.....ha ha. We just love ya Hank.

Grandchildren at Pampered Paws

Thanksgiving time we had boarders at the doggie day care and Emily and Elliot Ogden had a great time going up and helping MeMe (Carol) with the doggies. The kennels were not so lonely with two little visitors in them and the dogs seemed to really enjoy the extra attention they recieved. We had to put up a taller doggie gate at the play room for the dogs because a couple of our little doggie friends can jump really high. The gate works out wonderful for children as well....lol. Also, taking advantage of our dog washing station was Lily the bassett hound who lives in Cedar Park with my grandchildren. It seems that car rides don't sit really well with her and she was in desperate need of a doggie bath.
