So the other day, I filled up the pup pool and sat in the sun
watching our two small pups dive for ice cubes. Pulled out their beach towel
and their beach balls and watched them have a blast and started thinking …
… how fun would it be to watch 5 or 6 little dogs dive for
ice cubes and play and have fun? We could play ball, learn new tricks and while
they napped during quiet time, I could paint pictures of them (and pick up poop). They could run
and play in the fully secured outside play space pictured or have access to the
pup-proofed, climate controlled, 1st floor of our home thru a small
doggy door through way. Rog could build them a play scape or a pirate ship to
play in. While playing on the deck that overlooks the lower yard they can watch
squirrels, chippies and birds play. A pup with lots to do is a happy pup. A
busy pup will eventually be a sleepy pup and when they wake up, then we’ll start
all over again. Resident pups, Bella and Lexi, love to have friends over. We could have ...
"All pups will be screened prior to acceptance to 'the Crittery'
to assure both the pup’s owner and us that the pup will be comfortable in our
home. In order to ensure a harmonious environment and due to some space
limitations, we cannot accept large pups or pups that are aggressive or
destructive. All pups must be friendly with other pups and people. We will
require an up-to-date copy of your pup’s immunization records, including proof
of a Bordetella shot. Bring your pups food if they will be staying during a
meal time, we don’t want any tummy issues. Sleepovers are possible and
contingent on scheduling. Sometimes good things come in little packages and
large boarding facilities aren’t for every pup. Come for a visit and see if the
Crittery works for you and your pup."
… some crazy thinking … but this might just work! Would you bring your pup to home play care at the Crittery?
