Doggy Daycare

Our little Hilo has been growing fast... He can sit, lay down, shake, leave it, and kennel up. All are extremely important commands! Since September, he has been battling Kennel Cough. I think we are finally getting it out of his system but it has taken forever. And because he was sick, he couldn't go to "Doggy Daycare".


For those that are not pet owners, this is a place where you can take your dog for the day and he will be cared for amongst 20 other dogs. We started taking Hilo when he was 4 months old and it was unbelievable how tired and exhausted he would get. Which is good for both him and us. It gets him around other animals and people, tons of exercise, and helps him burn much needed energy. It allows Jim and I to work during the day and run errands later that night. Otherwise he would be kenneled all day and need lots of running/play time in the evening. It is relatively cheap too... $15/day. Which let me tell you is definitely worth 1 day/week because Hilo generally will sleep for the next 2 days! The other crazy thing with the doggy daycare we use is they have cameras that stream live video over the internet. So at work... I can go to the website and watch Hilo play with the other dogs... or should I say annoy the other dogs...


So we are really hoping he officially is over the kennel cough this year and we can start bringing him back in the new year. That way he can start playing with his friends again and getting much over due exercise!
