Simon and Hallie aren't there right now Kim must have just went and picked them up. Honestly though, I'm so glad i'm home alone.. I'm laughing out loud. this is hilarious.. and so cute!

[mojolove05]

I was going to pm her and tell her to let us know what time she'd be there and to WAVE like a movie star for the web cam ...but I was too late

LOL! Good idea! Or at the very least hold them up to the camera so we could say goodbye!

Having Second Thoughts about the daycare Is it just me?

They are all cute to watch and all and I've been watching them a
lot today and it did seem like a great thing
at first but as I kept watching it looks like none of them are
being taken outside to do their business. It looks like an attendant
just cleans the floor all day or picks up after whoever.


I feel bad in a way, as they don't
really seem to socialize with each other that much. There are those
that choose to sleep all day and seem bored, in both pens. There
doesn't seem to be anyone giving them attention other then to
come in with the mop and pick up towel. They just don't seem
happy just walking or sleeping in that pen and there is a shortage
of soft beds too.

Their Web site says the dogs are walked 5 times a day, at least on the lodging page.

Aww I am so sad..everyone is gone and just the workers are there cleaning up. I miss all of the dogs

Thank you all for spying on them I was teaching most of the day and it was a LONG day. Monkeys were there from 7-4:30

As for the beds there is a problem with some of the dogs destroying them or soiling them so they have to take them and wash them then put them back. There is also a destructive puggle that loves to chew them up (lucky he's cute)! They walk them 2x in the morning and 2x in the afternoon but they only take 1 at a time. During the lunch time they are put in kennels, fed lunch while the staff cleans the rooms. There are 2 daycare attendants in the am & 2 in the pm (they are all vet techs). It's a small place so no, there cannot be anyone in there playing with them all day. That would be ideal however unrealistic.

Hallie has never really enjoyed going to daycare, she would much prefer to stay at home but it has done so much for her socialization. And Simon has been going to daycare since he was 5 months old and it helps with his energy level. And I would never dream of taking just Simon, poor little guy would look for Hallie all day.

He wasn't there earlier when I checked in - they were all gone. Perhaps he is staying overnight?? It's 9:45 now, I hope he wasn't forgotten. You would never guess so many of us would be checking up on them all..LOL

[Samiebaby]

I know Kim said she only has them there on Wednesdays and Fridays, but even so.. I can never tell if it's a toy sitting on the chairs or small dogs! haha

Girl...I just want to hold little Hallie when I see her huddled in the chair but I KNOW it's really good for her to do this. Wish I had one of these in my area - Now I'm spoiled and would NEVER take them to a place that didn't have a webcam lol - I think it's so good for them - and for you too - you know where they are and what they're doing....rather than picturing them home alone and waiting and waiting and waiting...for their mommy. Like mine do.
