Dogs of Summer!

This is our new friend Wilma. She's not only adorable, but also very friendly and extremely wiggly!

She made tons of new friends on her first day, but it was Cosmo who stole her heart!

She took part in all our daycare games, from the pool to fetch to wrestling, and with a little encouragement from Miss Emma, she even went down the slide!

Wow! Daycare can really do a number on your hair. Just ask Miss Maggie!

Miss Casey and Miss Riley can also attest to that!

Miss Gracie has returned to Chi-town after staying with her grandparents in Cali for about a year. We've missed her pretty face, and have tried to give her all the lovin' (from us) that she's missed out on while she was away.

Here's Miss Prika doing her Tennessee Walking Horse impersonation!

A moment of sweetness between Dan and Miss Ketah reminds us all that we could use a little more love in this world.

Carlitos loves to feel the wind in his ears!

Kaya needs a place to hide after hours of being treated like the princess that she is. Sometimes a girl can only be fawned over so much!

Stella loves summertime. Not only does she get to fetch as much as she wants, but there's also water sports!

Chico the Doodle and Tank enjoy a romp in the yard. These two rarely slow down!

Fun in the Sun

Miss Harriet is so divine!

Calvin is a big dog whose favorite toys are a big ball and an itty bitty pool.

But look how happy he is!!

Aaaarchie the pirate shows off the bone he captured.

Cash came by for a day after moving to the suburbs this past winter.

And has been reunited with his former driver who is very very happy to see him!!

Matilda and Lula give a smile.

Here's Lamar with his good pals Sheye and Sharoan.

Mitzi, Skeelo, and Tank enjoy a three-way tug of war!

Remy stops to pose for the camera, but only for a moment!

We told Otis that this is the fountain of youth.

This is Chico! He's new to AFD but you would never know it! He's got his summer hair-do and is psyched to play our doggie games!

Told you so! Check him out wrestling with daycare champ Millie.

And here he is again playing soccer with driver Jeff and friends!

Nirah-far, we'll always love you!

Here's the Reganator caught fetching the kong.

And Bear-y Brulee caught pool-hoggin'!

Skeelo forces Wrigley to play tug, although she really just wants to fetch!

Sahara relaxes in the late afternoon probably thinking about her next meal!

From left to right we have Aaarchi, Kaya, Bear, and Mitzi, and they've all got something to say!

Bloggin' Out

All eyes are on Eric as he finds out just how far Moo will go for the kong.



Lyncoln goes fishing for the bone in the clear waters of Lake AFD.

Millie is tracked down by darling Maysa who wants the toy, badly!

Everyone give a warm welcome to Fred who enjoyed himself on his first day at AFD.

Hey there, Fred!

Good friends Bella and Ruff take turns splashing in the pool.

Bananas is always camera ready and picture perfect! He makes the most of his days here at AFD!

Tank loves to play catch me if you can games using the marvelous toy as a safety net.

Jeff and Jinx are spotted having a moment of cuddle in the shade. Everybody say "Awwww!"

Happy Hamlet neglects the afternoon nappers to run amok in the yard. Hamlet rules!

Kennedy (left) and Cody ride the bus together and enjoy playing the same games.

The Duke of Luke!

Madison and Cody are comiserating about times they've had here at AFD.

Poor Buddy has to wake up this handsome every day!

Here's our lovable Lab brothers Moose and Fletch.

Miss Bella never stops! Here she is demanding more fetch with her buddy Moo.

Ruby will only play tug of war with the most handsome boys in the yard. Woodson knows he is irresistable!

Say Cheese!

Spencer interrupts Ruff's playtime to have a soft place to sit.

Violet looks over and determines that Spencer has the right idea!

Bugsy, usually camera shy, was feeling pretty sassy today.



Maysa is ready to take on everyone all at once. Put 'em up guys!

Regan (left) is quickly approaching his sister Chloe who poses like a super model!

Snoopy (center), has welcomed our new pal Carlitos (left) to AFD and makes him feel at home.

Punk smiles for the camera. The only way we can get her to do this is by telling blonde jokes!

Skeelo stops only for a moment after tons of fetch and lots of pool hogging!

Taking center stage in this photo is our super-cool buddy Miss Lilo. She's awesome!!

Hello Miss Lexi Poof!!

Gwyneth is coming at the camera with lightning speed. Better let go of that toy in your hand quick!!!

Calvin shows off by carrying a ball around that's bigger than his head!

Here's Percy in the middle of the photo having a blast. Clockwise from the left are Franklin, Bugsy S., Bugsy K.E., Coconut, and last but certainly not least, Arlo the Pug.
