Good afternoon everyone! It's yet another hot day today, so as the afternoon wore on and the dogs started panting, we brought out the pools. Check out the photos!

Bear smiles for the camera.


Bear says that rolling around on the grass is fun!

Have a great evening everyone, and stay cool!

Saturdays are going to the dogs (even more!)

We are making some wonderful new changes at The Divine Canine! We hope you'll enjoy them.

Saturday, July 12 will be our Grand Opening day for SATURDAY DAYCARE! From then on, our Saturday boarding drop-off and pick-up hours will change that to regular weekday hours (7-12 and 2-6:30pm). We'd love to have your bring your dogs into daycare that day!

We're also bringing in a professional groomer on Saturdays for baths and brushouts!

To celebrate our new services, on Saturday, July 12 a whole day of daycare will only be $10 and full-baths will be 25% off regular price!

Call now to reserve daycare or a bath time for your dogs on Saturday, July 12 (or any Saturday after that, for that matter!)

It's been fun!

Well, this is my last blog post at the Divine Canine. I've had a lot of fun playing with your dogs, and caring for them, and I've enjoyed getting to know all of you in my two years working here. We've got a great team here, and I know everything will continue to go wonderfully!

And don't forget to look at the next post to see Jacqueline's pictures from today. They're awesome!

thanks for everything,
Valerie & Copper

Boy did we have a lot of fun today! We played with the hoses, got the pools out, and the dogs got ice blocks to chase around the yard.
And this is the next to last blog for me. Look forward soon to pictures and commentary by Kate, Cara, Amanda, and Jacqueline. Tomorrow is my last day at the Divine Canine, since I'll be starting a new and exciting job closer to home. I'll miss you and your dogs more than you can ever imagine, and I look forward to becoming a viewer of the blog myself, so I can see what all my favorite doggies are up to!
