'Tis the season for pet safe salt!
Please keep in mind that our yard and front steps can become extra slippery. As a precaution for dog and staff safety, we're always making sure there's a nice layer of pet safe salt down to combat any ice patches. Unfortunately, this can mean some pups go home a little extra dirty. Even though they're not outside rolling around in it, their friends track it inside, between their toes, onto the floor or even directly on to their friends when wrestling and playing. The salt tends to add a funky, dry, chalky feel to the coat which isn't very pleasing to touch and often makes your hands a little chalky feeling. Though we always try to send pups home relatively clean, with the exception of crusty slobber globs from friends, winter time is very hard. Some pups will go home feeling a little funky. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask!
Be sure to book any boarding stays for Christmas and New Years as soon as possible. Though we have yet to fill up for boarding, we come closer every year. To assure we have space and are staffed accordingly, please book in advance!
Keep in mind that Christmas Day and New Years Day are holiday rates for the daycare portion. Instead of punching your daycare pass, we will be charging a flat rate of $45 for daycare. Dogs departing prior to 10am on holidays will NOT be charged for the day however, evening arrivals on holidays are still subject to the full daycare charge instead of the usual $16 evening arrival fee. Holiday hours are 8am-5pm, we do still allow off hour drop offs and pick ups so if you need to arrive earlier or pick up later, please call ahead to schedule.
As you know, last week we had Santa and his elf over to visit the good boys and girls at Happy Hounds. Though must were thrilled to meet the guy, others opted for solo shots. Regardless, the event was a blast and the pups had a good time romping with friends before and after the special meet and greet. If you missed the photos, have no fear, click

Happy Hounds' Dog
of the Month

Meet Daisy
Daisy, a goldendoodle, joined the Happy Hounds family in January 2016 at the age of 2.
Don't let her pristine, good girl image fool you, Daisy is about 50% sass and 50% strong, independent woman. The only man this girl needs in her life is her dad.
At daycare, one of her favorite things to do is play Head Coach during an epic game of pack fetch. She has no problem scolding her team with sassy barks for fumbling the ball. Occasionally she enjoys dabbling in the game but it's always short lived when one of her rivals chases the same ball as her. This girl doesn't have time for that competitive nonsense so instead, she stomps her feet in protest and let's out a catty scoff as she prances away.
Though most of her day is spent on puppy patrol, ruffereeing and keeping everyone in line, Daisy does enjoy a good ol' fashion romp with a friend. If and when she does play one on one, she makes sure to choose an unlikely playmate... Typically an overly rambunctious friend. It all begins with a stare off, a couple bounces filled with happy barks and a twirl that even an Olympic skater would marvel at. 10/10 for technique and form. We'll be rooting for you at the 2022 Winter Olympics!
