It may be cold outside, but the Daycare pups are staying warm!

Why, no. We don't enjoy our jobs at all. We never have fun here. Why do you ask?
We love this photo of Coconut going for a joy ride on big ol' Otis, our new St. Bernard!

And this is an uncharacteristically subdued photo of Mr. Otis.
He's a beautiful boy who loves to play with EVERYONE, large or small!
But he obviously needed a break. I think we wore him out.

From the left that's Pretty Phoebe, Miss Lola and Little Lexi.

From the left, Eddie, Woodson and Calvin all a-wrestlin'!
Those boys are having a swell time.

And another new addition named Mesa having a fabulous
chase game with her neighbor Chico the Italian Greyhound.
Mesa is a sweet little Coated Mexican Hairless. A hairless pup with hair!
We were surprised too, but she's a lovely girl and we're so glad to have her.

Budha the bulldog is just having a good time being
at the center of Mesa and Chico's excitement!

Awww, Miss Mitzi! Cheri our photog found her taking
a breather inside the playground equipment.
SUCH A SWEET FACE!

BUSTER!! AFD Featured Dog of the Week!

NAME: Buster
AKA: Lil' Bus, Bustopher, Bussy Bus, Roly Poly, Deez, Doozer Buddy, Squeakums, Little Big Man
AGE: He'll be 2 years old on the 16th! Happy Birthday Buster!!!!!!!!
LIKES: Mom and Dad, the baby, doin' the wave, Lexi, Lola, and all his other ladies, Lamar, anyone whose name starts with the letter L, all his other human AFD friends, hearing his name, stories with happy endings.
Dislikes: Stories with unhappy endings, when old ladies slip and fall on the ice, when someone takes candy from a baby.

Buster has been coming to AFD since he was little, I mean, just a wee pup. He's one of the tiniest doggie friends we have here, but he wears the big boy pants! He's fearless in the yard, and dangerous on the dance floor. And he may possibly have the biggest heart of all. Little Big Man, you're our dog of the week, cuz' quite simply, we just love ya!!!!!
