IZZY!! The AFD Featured Dog of the Week.

NAME: Izzy
AKA: Izzy-pants, Izzyigerd, Iz, Izzy-Dizzy, The Howler, Ar-Ruu-Ruu-Ruuu!
AGE: 3 years old today!
BREED: Whippet/Terrier Mix
LIKES: Little dogs who want to play, dancing, getting lovin', providing commentary on the action on the small dog side, howling when its time to go home which cracks Stacy up EVERY TIME.
DISLIKES: People who move to fast, dogs who don't know their manners.

Oh, Izzy. I mean just look at that smile. Go ahead. We'll wait.

Are you kidding? We defy you to not fall in love with this girl from the minute you meet her. She is so darn adorable we could just spit. Izzy is a regular daycare girl, keeping the peace on the small dog side. She looooves little dogs, and loves to chase. Word to that Iz. And when its time to go home and she gets leashed up, she always gives you a howl or two 'cause you're not moving fast enough. Hilarious. This sugar lump just turned three years old today and we couldn't be happier that we got to share it with her. Ah-Ru-Ru-Ruuu to you too, Miss Izzy!

SPENCER!! The AFD Featured Dog o' the Week.

Mr. Handsome.

Spencer's good buddies, Kennedy on the left and Skeelo on the right.
Note the Kong being guarded between Spencer's front paws.

NAME: Spencer

AKA: Suspenders, Spence, Big Spender, Spenny, Little Dude.

AGE: Almost 6 years old.

BREED/DESCRIPTION: Golden Retriever.

LIKES: Carrying around his Kong, chasing his Kong, fetching his Kong, playing tug with his Kong, the pool, any available puddle, getting really, really dirty, tug of war.

DISLIKES: Not having a Kong on his person at ALL times.

Mr. Suspenders loves Kongs. No, really. This dude LOVES his Kong. The instant he arrives in daycare, he gets a Kong, and doesn't drop it until the end of the day when it's time to get on the bus! Spence is as sweet as strawberry pie, and as handsome as anything. He rides the bus to daycare every single day, and carries his Kong proudly on the large dog side. When not totally Kong focused, he does enjoy a dip in the pool or some love from his human AFD buddies! Suspenders is the man. Believe it.

Oh, man. Daycare is AWESOME!!

This is what daycare is all about, people. Go everybody!

Sweet Zak and his super sweet smile. What a guy!

NORMAN! Takin' it easy in the shade.

Pool buddies. Spencer, Dash and Chelsea.

We see you, Kaya. You're not invisible y'know.

Helloooooooooo, Mattie!

The Daring Dash prepares to execute a triple swan dive into Lake AFD.

Mattie waits below to spot him.

Yea! Daycare!

Mr. Puppy grabs a quick snooze in Manager Phillip's chair.

Our Miss Lola surveys her subjects from the top of the castle.

HAMLET! Happy boy!

Sophie takes a quick break from jumping in and out of the pool to give us a smile.

Ruby and Chelsea investigate and determine that yes, it is a Kong after all.

And finally, Cody looooves the new Clifford the Big Red Dog sprinkler.
Get it, Cody! Get it!!

BUBBLES! The AFD Featured Dog of the Week.

NAME: Bubbles
AKA: Bubs, Bubalicious, Monsieur Bublay, The B Man, Mr. Popular.
AGE: Poodle Mix.
BREED/DESCRIPTION: White and Curly and Totally Hardcore.
LIKES: Playing, being chased, jumping in and out of the pool, getting dirty, everybody!
DISLIKES: Not being a part of the action.

Bubbles is a fairly new dog to us here at AFD. He originally started as a board and train, but quickly became an every day daycare favorite. We don't think there is a dog in the world Mr. Popular couldn't get along with. When he plays, he PLAYS. Amazingly, he still has energy left after leaving a trail of exhausted dogs in his wake at the end of the day. He's become such a mainstay on the small dog side that we just don't know what we'd do without him! Rock on, Bubs. You're the bees knees.

Summer time in the city!!!

1...2...3...DING DING Dash pins Casey in a friendly wrestling match. Archie waits in the background for the winner.

Strike a pose Lyncoln. Good, good. Give me sassy. YES!

Ladies and Gentlemen...The Queen of All for Doggies...Phoebe!!!

Zoey, Doolin, Fiona, Cody, Frank, and Coco all enjoy playing in the pool on a hot day.

Franklin is showing us his good side.
Handsome Murray giving us a smile!

This Week's Featured Dog....BUDHA!!

NAME: Budha
AKA: Budha-Buns, Budha-Bootay, Snortbucket, Princess of Love, Miss Precious.
AGE: Four and a Half.
BREED/DESCRIPTION: Bulldog, Brown and White.
LIKES: Going to Cheri's house, chasing Jolly Balls and barking at them, playing with puppies, getting love from ANYBODY, acting disinterested while people oooh and ahhhh over her in the pet store, Cubs baseball, vacationing in Provence, doing whatever she wants whenever she wants.
DISLIKES: Being in playgroup without Cheri, when Cheri cuddles with others, getting her Jolly Ball stuck in a corner, when people don't double down on eleven.
MOTTO: The world is my oyster!

Budha is our newest regular daycare girl, ruling the school in Cheri's bus. She became an instant favorite at AFD for her sweet, lovey personality and her ridiculously adorable snorts. Seriously. We have never heard anything like the sounds this girl can come up with. She loves everybody, everybody loves her and she has even captured the heart of Trainer Rich. She'll give you a wave with her front paw when she wants your lovin'!

Budha rocks. That's all there is to it.
