A day in the life of Comet!



Hi, my name is Comet, and I’m what you might call a mutt.  I look a little like a Basset Hound but I think I might be a mix of something else too.  I’m black and white with an all black eye that kind of looks like I’m wearing an eye patch.  Sometimes in my spare time I like to pretend I’m a pirate and go “Argg”- I’m working on my barking arrrg accent, so far it’s not working so far.  I’m a frequent daycare, boarding, and grooming customer who just started coming to Preferred Pet Care this year.  I’m so happy my parents decided that I needed some playtime.  Anyway, let me tell you all about my day today.

I arrived at Preferred Pet Care at about 9am.  I was delighted to see my buddies already waiting outside for me.  Bailey and Leo were already playing together out in the yard.  My buddies Spud and Wylie were trying to play with Gritz and Oscar.  Wilson and Buddy O were leading a chase around the yard with Pepper R close behind.  Great!  I came at the perfect time!  I decided to make my rounds.  I first decided to join in with Wilson who was running around the yard. 

After making a couple loops around the yard I decided I was done with running in circles and decided to catch up with some friends.  I ran into Benji who was already telling Shania all about how sparkly his teeth are.  Benji has been on a real kick about this fancy new product called, “Tropiclean”, he really wants to be a spokes person for them.  Shania comes to daycare with her two sisters Rocky and Winnie; they’re all poodles (Shania is a miniature poodle- like Benji) and have been coming to daycare for years.  They get to ride on the taxi when they come to daycare.  Maybe one day I can go on the taxi, it sounds like fun! 

I decided to go check in with Nacha and Stella who were running around like crazy.  Nacha was showing off her new winter jacket.  Nacha is a Vizsla and sometimes in the winter she gets cold, hence the jacket.  I decided to go play ball with Nacha and Stella in a play yard with Brian.  Stella didn’t want to share the tennis ball with me.  Nacha though she’s great at retrieving she brings it back and boy can she run.  I’m a little slower than Nacha, but that’s because I have little legs.  Tecumseh, Rocky S, and Layla all decided to join us for some ball play.  Layla and Rocky S. are Portuguese water dogs and they look like they could be twins.  My trick for telling them apart when they’re on the other side of the yard is that Rocky is much bigger than Layla.  After running back and forth chasing the ball I was exhausted. 

Since I was tired I decided to mosey on over to Molly, who’s also a basset hound mix of some sort.  We discussed the pros and cons of having such little feet and being so low to the ground.  Waldo also joined in on our conversation.  Collective we decided the cons of being low to the ground is that sometimes our bellies get wet when it rains or snows, however, the positive points are that we’re closer to the ground so it’s easier for us to smell if there are any bones buried. 


Page came over to us and told us that this Monday is Piper’s birthday.  So since Piper won’t be back in until Tuesday Page decided this would be the perfect opportunity to sing “Happy Birthday”.  Page loves to sing “Happy Birthday” and any excuse she has to sing she will come up with.  Page has already been saying how she hopes she’s coming to daycare tomorrow because she heard she missed Reilly P’s birthday this past weekend and can’t wait to sing “Happy Birthday’ to Reilly.  We all decided to join in on howling “Happy Birthday” to Piper.  I think my pitch is a little off, but Page said she will give me some voice lessons and we’ll work on that.  Maybe Page can also help me with my pirate accent. 


I decided to go hang out with my new friend Pepina.  Pepina was showed off her new manicure and introduced me to her sister, a pug, Petunia.  Petunia doesn’t speak English; she’s new to Preferred Pet Care and was raised in Mexico.  Petunia isn’t a big fan of the cold weather.  Petunia just started coming this week.  I wonder if Petunia can teach me to speak Spanish.  I will have to ask Pepina to translate.  Pepina said she would love to teach me how to speak Spanish with Petunia.  Molly came over and asked if she can also learn how to speak Spanish.  Maybe Pepina and Petunia can organize a class.  What fun would that be?!

After all my playing and talking with my friends I decided it was time to take a little nap.  I strolled over into the playhouse for some shut eye.  I had a wonderful dream of a world filled with bones and tennis balls everywhere.  All my friends were there playing too.  I woke up, and realized, “Wow, if only Preferred Pet Care had bones everywhere it would be just like my dream.”  I will have to talk to Benji about how I can submit a suggestion to the people and see if they can work on that.  Benji has been coming to Preferred Pet Care for years and he always has bright ideas.  Benji suggested that I come up front and sit down with Crystal to tell her all about my day, and maybe (just maybe) if I’m lucky enough I’ll be the lucky pup for the week who gets to tell everyone about my day.  And you know what, Benji was right!  Thanks Benji for your great idea!  So here I am telling you fine people all about my fabulous day at Preferred Pet Care.  We’ll I still have a lot more playing to do before mom and dad pick me up so I have to run.  Till next time, Arrggg!
