Welcome Sam!

Sam (shep /husk mix) met many new friends today. Even an older gentleman like Sam can have fun socializing with new doggie friends.

Come on just play with me.

Telulah finally was able to make Harley come out of his shell. Harley was having some separation issues at home and was unsure what he should do here. Leave it to the JRT to make your sense of humor come out.

A toast,..To good times at Canine Antics.

CHEERS!

There's that red dot again!! Lets get it everyone!!!

The "laser chase" game is always a big hit with the dogs. I turn off the lights and use the laser pointer like the decoy rabbit at the greyhound races. They love it! WARNING: if not used properly, laser games can make your dog neurotic.

TRIVIA!!!!!!!! CAN DOGS "LOCK" THEIR JAWS ON AN OBJECT BEING UNABLE TO LET GO??

The answer to last weeks question (Is it o.k. for you to use human shampoo on your dog?) is no. Humans sweat out pores in the skin. Dogs do not. Human shampoo is designed to wash out all the chemicals we sweat. Dogs shampoo is mild in comparison, only needing to wash dirt off the hair itself. Can you do it? you could. I wouldn't recommend it though. Correctly answered by Benjamin Moore. Benjamin are you a client?

One of the cutest letters I've ever recieved.

Click on the pic to enlarge and read. It's from the daughter of "Bob Marley's" owners.

Welcome Harley!!

Harley is a 9yr old girl. She was striving to become an interior designer. She was "hemming" the curtains and "fixing up" the walls and things. Now her mom wants her to spend a bit of time here at Canine Antics to burn a little energy.:)

Welcome Tomato!!

Tomato was found roaming the streets of Mexico. Her awesome family found her and gave her a place to comfortably live out her years.

Welcome Dixie!

Dixie is a new girl here at Canine Antics. She's a 12wk old German short hair pointer. ...And boy is she cute!

Wednesday Sept 16th Dawg Hawk predicts a beautiful day today, chance of a cooler evening with more of the same for Thursday.

Skippy is quickly becoming famous with his forecasting abilities. WATCH OUT BILL STEFFEN!

(in a southern bell voice) Angel says,"That sun feels so good on my fur in the mornin'"

Angel and Mikey chillin' like villans.:)

Weclome Rocky!!

Rocky (husky) is a 6mo old ball-o-fun. Here he is getting his ear sniffed out by Skippy.

Rondo says... "I'd like to give a shout out to my dad Justin Rayder, he's in the Air Force over in Saudi... HI DAD!!!

You go Rondo!

A doggie hug from Hudson.

Hudson and Mandy are quickly becomming boyfriend/girlfriend.. haha

Like my top knot?

Paloma (std poo) loves every minute of daycare, and espessially loves the extra treatment during her total spa day.

Bestest of friends.

Choco-latte and Bella (a.k.a. Bella Goose) playing together today like a couple of animals.;)

"No were not kissing....We're sharing this tennis ball."

Clancy and Max (a.k.a. Big Max) playing so nicley with each other. They stood motionless for about 10 minutes sucking on this tennis ball together.

Welcome Lola!!

When Lola came to us today she started off very fearful of everyone and of the dogs. Once I broke out the toys for her she came out of her shell and played like a champion. Good Girl Lola!

End of the day ritual.

Every afternoon even with Brenda vacuuming, someone perches on the upper poof chair to supervise operations (a.k.a. to saw some logs). Can you tell who it is?

Its Tucker!!

"Talk to the paw, cuze I'm snoozin'."

"Hamlet hurry listen.....Put your ear up here!"

I'm not 100% sure what these guys hear. too funny!! haha!

"ahhhhhh I feel so much better after my bath!!"

Princess enjoys a spa treatment every friday. I'm not sure what she likes more, the attention during the bath, or the bath itself.

Brother and sister enjoying the day together.

Buddy and Lola doing their morning streches.

TRIVIA!!!!!!! IS IT O.K. TO USE HUMAN SHAMPOO ON YOUR DOG???

The answer to last weeks question ( Is a dog mouth cleaner than a human mouth?) is NO. A dogs mouth is not any cleaner than a humans. Humans have the forethought to practice good hygiene techniques, and dogs do not. Science tell us that there are no known super cleansing agents in dog saliva. Always remember, a dogs tongue is their washcloth and their toilet paper. :) haha. Again was answered by Herbie and Benjamins mom. Shes smoking you folks!! I'll also take answers from non-clients, just for fun, no prizes.......maybe.

Emma finally at rest.

Emma the young shepard looks very happy to get some play time off leash.

Welcome Winston!

Winston is a daisy dog. He has friends who come to the daycare and wanted to know what all the hub bub was, So he decided to check it out for himself.

What in the world are those floaty thingys?

Tucker not quite sure what to think of the bubbles. :)

When in doubt, put it in your mouth.

Miles (a.k.a. smiles) always willing to try new things.

I'll try one too.

Mizuki thinks they taste like cherries!

Look Rondo! There's another one!!!

What is it Rondo? I don't know, but they sure are purtty.

"I love you Gus." ... "I love you too Miles"

Awwwe.

A sea of dogs!!!!!!

I get the feeling Emma Jean and Benjamin are plotting something here at the doorway. Can't ya just see the wheels turning?

We wanna go in!

Big day at Canine Antics Tues. we had a whopping 38 dogs in the house!

Here's just a few demanding to go in. haha

TRIVIA!!!!!!!! IS A DOGS MOUTH CLEANER THAN A HUMANS?

The answer to last weeks trivia question (Is a mix breed HEALTHIER than a pure bred dog?) is; NO. Mixed breeds are no healthier than a pure bred. Mix breeds can still fall victim to all the same ailments and sickness and any other dog does. The only advantage a mix breed has over a pure bred is, genetic defects due to poor breeding is not going to be passed on as easily. The oldest dog in history was a pure bred 26yr old Aussie Cattle Dog!!! B'lanna and Lola get a free Hextra for participating

Also this is my first try at a video, hope you like it. Its our morning ritual of breaking out the tennis balls.

...FOR THE LAND OF THE FREEEEEEEE!

Clancy and Dubba enjoying play time on the slide outside.

...AND THE HOME OF THE... BRAVE!

B'lanna and Mattie playing on the poof chair. haha talk about tired. These two arn't even going to stand up to play anymore! haha.
