Olive


I was lucky enough to snag Olive, the golden retriever puppy/adolescent, as a new boarding client. What a doll! She played like crazy the entire time she stayed here, with my dog Luna and anyone else who would play with her. She has excellent dog-dog manners for one so young, which ensures that she has lots of playmates happy to see her. My dog Luna absolutely loved her, and was a little depressed after Olive left, and I think I was too.


Like most playful puppies, Olive can contort herself in seemingly impossible ways during play. I tried to get a few pictures of her in these crazy positions. It's such fun to watch her play.

Miss Stella the pug




I recently met Miss Stella the Pug (--that's what I call her, but her name is really just Stella), and she came to stay with me. She is scrumptious. There is no other way to put it. She is such a sweet little girl that I just want to scoop her up every time I look at her. She has this tiny, cute little head, and sometimes her tongue is sticking out of her mouth just the tiniest bit, which makes me laugh.

She often has a slightly worried looking expression, but then she'll follow it up with a relaxed, happy smile if you talk to her or pet her.

She is an East Coast transplant who seems to be settling in quite well here, thanks to having a sweet nature, and loving owners who take good care of her. She is a very welcome addition to the area.
