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!
