Like all Miniature Dachshunds, Lola is incredibly affectionate. She loves to snuggle up in your lap and cover you in kisses! But Miss Lola knows to keep her poise and mind her manners. Lola won’t shove anyone out of her way for pets and will patiently wait her turn for attention. If you don’t notice her at first, Lola will vie for your attention by rolling on her back and begging sweetly! We are so pleased to have Miss Lola as our first Dog of the Month for 2023! What a wonderful start to the year, congrats Lola!

Congratulations Miss Rosie! We love you!

Meet our Dog of the Month and our own April Fool: the Great Goof Gordie!

Gordie’s favorite thing is to play with all our toys in the playroom! Whether he’s running around with a Kong in his mouth or chasing after a Jolly Ball, Gordie is always staying busy with something and someone. The only thing he loves more than a toy is sharing it with a friend! If he doesn’t have a playmate, Gordie will trot around the room with a Kong hanging from his mouth looking to invite a friend to play tug. Gordie always makes sure to bring the fun and enthusiasm with him! We love you, Gordie! Congratulations on becoming our April Dog of the Month!

Meet our May Dog of the Month, the darling Dash! This lovely little lady has been coming to daycare since she was just a puppy in the Small group.

Dash loves to play with her friends and toss around the Kongs, but her favorite is the human staff. She’s a sensitive soul and knows how to milk the staff for extra attention, which we’re glad to give to her! No one can resist Dash’s big puppy eyes.

Meet our July Dog of the Month, the Rambunctious Remy! Remy is a stunning Siberian Husky who absolutely loves Daycare. Like most Huskies, Remy’s majestic appearance and natural grace disguise the true joker within. He enjoys playing the fool and goofing off with his buddies. One thing that Remy loves more than anything is the water- he’s always looking to dig in the community water buckets to get a nice puddle on the floor to splash in. Needless to say, when we bring the pools out for summer Remy is ecstatic! He loves splashing around with all his friends- he dances and bounces in the water with a passion & eagerness that can’t be matched. No matter how many Labradors, Retrievers, or Newfies we have in group, Remy will always beat them to the pool! We are so proud to call him our July Dog of the Month, congrats Remy!

Meet our September Dogs of the Month, the dynamic duo Boomer & Yoshi! These two may be brothers, but they have vastly different personalities. Boomer, the black Labrador Retriever, is more reserved, cautious, & introverted. He enjoys playing with his regular friends and loves to snuggle with his favorite staff members, but can take a moment to be comfortable with strangers. Yoshi, on the other hand, is an extroverted cannon of fluff and joy! You may notice that Yoshi is rather large for a Doodle- that’s because he’s a Saint Bernard/Doodle mix. This big guy is incredibly accepting and always comes in ready to party with everyone and anyone! These two may be different, but they love each other’s company more than anything. We are so excited to announce Boomer & Yoshi as our September Dogs of the Month! Congratulations, boys!

Meet our October Dog of the Month, the Rockin Roxy! Roxy is a member of our favorite breed, rescue! Her lithe build makes us think she has Whippet or Terrier in her, but it’s unsure. What we do know is that Roxy is full of moxie, perk, & devotion! Roxy can hardly contain her excitement when she comes in, she performs a little ‘Hula Dance’ until we take her back to her friends. Roxy wastes no time here at daycare and loves to spend every second she can playing with her best human & dog friends.

In the summer, he's bounding through the pools, leading a pack to follow behind him. Walter is fairly independent- as long as he has his toys to play with.

Meet Miss Tilly.. This girl is just a fireball of excitement on a daily basis. Whenever she comes through our doors she can hardly contain her enthusiasm to get to her furry friends.

Meet Zoey, our March Dog of the Month. This sweet little girl started hanging out at The Dog Lodge when she was just a wee pup. She was nervous & insecure of her surroundings. Over the months we have watched her blossom into the more confident young lady she is now. She loves coming to daycare & interacting with all her furry sidekicks. Zoey is also quite affectionate with all the staff & will gladly push others out of the way to seek full attention. She knows that she is one of the cutest in playgroup. We here at The Dog Lodge are all so lucky to watch this darling princess grow up, We love you Zoey!!

We have deuces Dog of the Month for April. Meet brothers Pongo & Browning. Although these special boys are siblings, they differ in many ways. First we will start with Pongo, he has been a regular daycare dog here at The Dog Lodge since he was a young pup. He has always been full of energy since the beginning. We have watched him mature & become the dog he is now. Pongo loves to wrestle with his buddies & continually carries around the kong toys, trying to encourage others to play. We could say he is quite the independent soul, but enjoys occasional pets. Browning on the other hand, is a considerably laid back character. He enjoys relaxing on the beds in playgroup & getting his tummy rubbed, a lot!! He also likes to tell the others when they are getting a bit too intense & they should probably keep calm & carry on. It is such a joy to watch both of these beautiful boys grow up. We love you both, Pongo & Browning!!

Meet Miss Sadie. This sweet girl is so very special. She had a rough start in life, but now is living the dream life she deserves. We have watched Sadie blossom into the outgoing, affectionate, easy-going gal that she is. Even though she is petite, she lets all her big dog friends know she can run with the best of them. Sadie has quickly become a favorite amongst the staff at The Dog Lodge. We are fortunate to be able to spend several days a week with her & when she doesn't come for daycare, we all get a bit sad. All of us here at The Dog Lodge love this darling dog so very much & are proud to make her our Dog of the Month.

Roxie makes quick friends with everyone, she is so accepting of all other dogs. She loves to wrestle with anyone who is game & doesn't tire easily.

Meet our August Dog of the Month, Champ! This guy is one of the most intelligent dogs that we have the pleasure to care for. He is also always so well-behaved. Champ spends most of his days at The Dog Lodge analyzing what goes on around him. You can always see that he is thinking about what move he should make next. This is true to his breed, Border Collie to think before he acts. He strategically watches all the toys in playgroup & when is ready, he obtains his prize. Champ is also a very affectionate & sweet character. He is always up for some cuddle time with the staff. We are so doggone lucky to have this great dog as our August Dog of the Month.

Meet our September Dog of the Month, Miss Banjo! This beautiful, little Beagle has been visiting us since she was just a tiny pup. She basically has grown up with The Dog Lodge. Banjo is a great representative of the Beagle breed. She has all the characteristics of the breed, but in a mild kind of way. Therefore, she knows when to use her nose & voice properly. We love this about her! She also is very loving & accepting of all her canine friends. She is a gentle player, but will also join in wrestle mania when the situation calls for it. Banjo learned her social skills at a very young age, so that's why she is so well-balanced. She also loves affection from all of our staff. We are all so very lucky to get to spend our days with Banjo & are honored to make her our September Dog of the Month. We love you Banjo!

Meet our October Dog of the Month, Miss Sugar! As her name suggests, she is sweet as can be. Sugar has been attending daycare regularly for the last couple months, so we have gotten to know her quite well. Not only is she a beautiful young dog, she also is very intelligent. We could tell right away that she observes & thinks before she acts. Sugar also has a very playful side to her. She loves to wrestle & run around with her furry buddies. Don't let her good looks fool you though, she is a confident girl & will stand her ground with anyone who thinks they may be tougher than her. Altogether, she is a great example of a Labrador Retriever & we are proud to make her our Dog of the Month for October. We ❤️ you Sugar!!

Meet our November Dog of the Month, Chubbs!!! This handsome little pup has been with us since he was just a little tike. He has reached celebrity status here at The Dog Lodge & Dandy Acres, and steals the hearts of everyone who comes his way. He can’t get enough of all the attention. He has many furry friends and helps the new guys feel welcome and at home. His best four legged friends can’t wait for him to get here so they can play! This month starts the season of giving and sharing. There is so much to be thankful for and Chubbs is just the beginning here at The Dog Lodge.

Meet our December Dog of the Month, Oreo. This beautiful girl started hanging with our daycare crew when she was just a baby. Now, she's almost all grown up & spends her free time in our medium playgroup. Oreo's mission everyday at The Dog Lodge is toy patrol. No matter what, she is always assessing the toy situation within her play area, making sure that she obtains the one she wants & no one else gets it. It's somewhat obsessive, but her Border Collie mind-frame tells her to do so. All we can say is play-on Oreo & have fun! Other times you can find her playing soccer or wrestling with her crew. We are all so fortunate to know & love our December Dog of the Month, Miss Oreo.
