Ruby!

We would like to start out our weekly blog with HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


What do you have to be thankful for this holiday season?

Preferred Pet Care is extremely thankful for so much.  As many people have experience trying times during this difficult time with super storm Sandy we would like to thank all of our customers, and we are thankful for all of you each and every day. 

We hope you and your family/friends have a wonderful holiday season!

Now back to the dogs…

Today, one of our daycare pups, Ruby a black lab decided to take a moment to tell us about her day.  Ruby is a black Labrador Retriever, who is a long time customer and has been coming for years. 

Was today daycare day?  I was so confused with my days.  We lost power for TWELVE DAYS; it seemed like an eternity, and in dog years that was like 84 days.  WOW!  I was so excited when we got our power back I ran around the house jumping for joy.  The best part about power back on, that meant back to daycare with my taxi service home.  Dad called for me to get leashed up and to hop in the car, and I knew, we must be going to Preferred Pet Care!  Wonderful!

When I arrived at Preferred Pet Care Crystal checked me in and then I got my belly rubbed.  I’m a big mush, and people can’t help but give me love.  After some TLC I went out to join my friends Joe and the pups in the playgroup.  Oscar, Spud & Gritz, Faraday, Eddie, Wilson, Cecil, Ollie, Benji and Sammy, the whole usual Tuesday crew was here.  Kayla was even already waiting for me to play!  Kayla, is one of my fellow doggie taxi friends, she must be boarding at Preferred Pet Care.  I made my usual rounds saying hello to all of my friends.  Oscar was roaming around with Gritz following close behind.  Eddie was playing with Rufus (another boarding and frequent daycare pup) and Faraday, with Scout (one of my new friends, who just started coming to Preferred Pet Care) chiming in to play too.  Cecil and Ollie were playing off to the side, they are great friends.  Wilson was off playing with Watson (They’re apart of the Lab/Golden Doodle club).  Sammy was already practicing for his circus routine by jumping from post to post.  Silly Sammy.  And of course Benji was welcoming all the incoming pups and check in on how they’ve been.  Benji loves to check and see what everyone is up to.  Benji and I chit-chatted about our Thanksgiving Day plans.  Apparently Benji is quite the little Chef.  He has the whole menu planned out.  I have no clue what we are doing for Thanksgiving, I’m just hoping Dad will sneak me a little turkey. 

It was an extremely interesting day at Preferred Pet Care we got to move from yard 5 to yard 3 back to yard 5 it was very exciting.  The fence company was there fixing some minor issues from Hurricane Sandy.  Thankfully Preferred Pet Care was very lucky in the storm and just had some slight fence damage.  They did a great job fixing one of the yards to make sure it was in tip top shape.

It was a very exciting day I met a lot of new and some old friends I haven't seen in awhile.  Everyone was coming to board at Preferred Pet Care because Thanksgiving was coming.  Pepper decided it would be a great idea for everyone to go around and tell everyone what they are thankful for.  Pepper started- I'm thankful for daycare at Preferred Pet Care.  Pepper is very high energy and practically comes to daycare every day.  A tired dog is a happy dog.  Next was Rocky, Winnie & Shayna after arguing about who should go first Shayna decided to speak on behalf of them and said they were thankful for all their wonderful friends at preferred pet care.  Next Lizzy said she and her brother Benny were thankful for their family and their health.  Eddie was up next, "Oh Lizzy you stole mine I'm happy for my family too.  Well I'm also thankful for all my toys and bones" he stated.  Then it was my turn. Hmm what was I thankful for?  I'm thankful for so many things all my friends at preferred pet care (both human and all fours), my family, food, my home, power, which one should I pick?  So I finally decided to go with that I'm thankful for everything.  We went around the group.  Some pups said food, their favorite toy(s), their family, their home, being adopted, power; the list went on and on.  We all realized we had a lot to be thankful for.

I had such a busy day the time just flew by.  Before I knew it Marci was calling us into Yard 2 to get leashed up to get on the taxi.  Boy what a day!  Thanks a lot for letting me tell you all about my day!  Enjoy your holiday!  And remember despite that we may give you the sad puppy eyes don't give in (too much) to table scraps on Thanksgiving.
