Doggie Day Care "Accident"

My husband has been the primary caretaker of Oliver when I'm at work, so things get a bit crazy when he started a new full-time job this week. Oliver is a high energy dog and he needs to go outside a few times during the day. With both of us working full-time, Oliver now spends more time at the doggie daycare place.

First beach day in 2012

March 2012 has been unusually warm in East Coast area. It's only mid March but temperature has been hovering in the mid-upper 60s for a week. So we decided to try out the NJ beach and went to Island Beach State Park last weekend.

Shave down or not shave down

As Oliver starts shedding his puppy hair and growing his adult hair, his hair gets matted a lot. The majority of the matted hair happens alongside his legs and his chest. I took him to the groomer today to get a sanitary cut, but she suggested that he needs to be shaved down short :( She said she couldn't even bathe him because it will make the matted hair worse...

We decided to get a "second opinion" because we really love his long hair and shaving him down in the winter time like now seems "inhumane" to me (although this might be just me being silly... ). Here's hoping that we can save Oliver coat....

Our Favorite Doggie Daycares

Oliver is a very active dog who likes to play all the time. We've been pretty lucky so far since my workplace is very flexible and I can work from home from time to time so I can watch and play with him during the day. However, there are days where I cannot do that and as a result, he will need to stay in his crate and this is when a doggie daycare comes in handy.

Merry Christmas !!

Oliver and Eddie want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! Look what we got for Christmas this year ! Stockings full of treats !! YAY !!!
