Bela, the receptionist extraordinaire!

Bogart uses her puppy face charms to get pets from us all day long!

This is Paris on her very first day with us. She is an adorable anime-eyed Maltese, and we are happy to welcome her to the family!

Chair Play

Roxie is too lazy to get off the chair but apparently not too lazy to play with Mina!

Bored?.....Chew on something!

2012-02-22T12:01:00.000-08:00

Mina was hanging out on Lydia's lap and decided to have a snack.

Lovely Lazy Sunday

2012-02-19T11:26:00.001-08:00

It is a relaxing day here at D is for Doggy. All of the dogs are enjoying the weekend and storing up their energy for the week ahead.


This is Moose. Can you guess how he got his name? What adorable ears!

Jake has been alternating between bouts of playtime and naps on "his" red bed all morning.

Sunbathing by the window is one of Haida's favorite pastimes here at D is for Doggy.

Seems that Simon is training to join us as an employee here. Just as soon as he gets that "two leg" thing down.

Piney and Garbo

2012-01-25T21:09:00.000-08:00

Here's yet another duo, Piney and Garbo, being silly together. This is special because Piney usually keeps to himself, but he found a really good friend in Garbo.

Ear Cleaning Service

2012-01-25T12:07:00.000-08:00

Here at D is for Doggy our dogs care enough to give each other a helping hand. Seems today Balthazar needed to have his ear licked for a few minutes, so Duncan was happy to oblige...

A Love Affair

A Typical Tuesday Night

Ever wonder what your dogs are up to overnight? Playing, of course....

Another Saturday!

2012-01-07T13:54:00.000-08:00

Another Saturday has come upon us here at the D. Our groomer is taking care of plenty of dogs today. Boy, do they look great when they come out! Fluffy, clean, happy, and best of all, they smell fantastic!

Torrunn and Tadpole are enjoying their new "do's." They are up in our window, showing off. Don't you always show off your new hair cut? I know I do!

Here is Savannah. She is listening intently to Kaitlyn, our Dog Handler in room #3. It is Kaitlyn's firm belief that Savannah thinks she is a human. Judging from this picture, I have to agree! :)

Emily, our Dog Handler in room #1, snapped this amazing picture of Buck and Bunny. These two are one of the cutest, closest brother and sister! They are resting by our "pond."

We have big news here at D4D: We now have a Facebook page! If you have Facebook and would like to "like" us, here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/D-is-for-Doggy/122690327849399. There will be loads of updates on the animals, the people, and our business! Plus tons of cute pictures.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

First Post of 2012

Happy 2012 from all the dogs (and humans) here at D4D!


Getting up close and personal with Turner aka Gandalf. Though he is one of our largest dogs here at D4D, he certainly embodies the term "gentle giant."


Walter is a relatively new addition to the D4D family... and we are so glad to have him! How can you not love that smiling face?

This photo is the epitome of "puppy-dog eyes." Penny Lane is pulling out all the stops - begging for some petting (which she got promptly after this photo was taken)!

Is it puppy love? I think so... (Penny Lane and Elke)

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

So, I may not be an amazing web designer, but I sure am enthusiastic about dogs! (And reception:) ) It is New Year's Eve, and our dogs are prepping for the big "party" we will have at midnight!

Doesn't Max look excited? Most of our doggies will be fast asleep when the year changes, but sleeping is a good way to ring the new year.

Look at his adorable face! Who could say no to this lovable boy, Regis? He's "next level cute," as some of the workers around here like to say. Regis would be a good replacement on "Live! With Regis and Kelly," don't you think? Not only could they keep the name of the show, but this pup would be a lot cuter than the old Regis...

Lili is relaxing in Yari's arms. She's excited to celebrate 2012!

We took a poll of our dog's top New Year's Resolutions. Here were the most popular:
1. I will bark less! Bark!
2. Cuddle more with Mom/Dad
3. Jump up less!
4. Pose more for pictures

We also took a poll of our top employee's resolutions. Here were the most popular:
1. Work hard and stay positive!
2. Eat more fruits and veggies.
3. Smile more :D

Here is Barkley. She is our featured pic of the week! This is Sarah's puppy, wishing you a Happy 2012!

The Holiday Crew!

2011-12-25T12:15:00.000-08:00

Today is CHRISTMAS DAY at D is for Doggy! We are decorated for this lovely holiday. There are plenty of people still here working with your dogs. Eric is here, holding Barry. . Eric is working hard to keep all the dogs happy, safe, and healthy. He's currently out of the office, taking the dogs for a Christmas jog.

Also celebrating Christmas at the D is Emily. Here she is playing with Cooter. She loves puppies, but can handle the biggest dog like nobody's business (especially the ones here; they're all so sweet!). Cooter is playing with a Christmas toy. There are some on our desk for our clients; come in and grab one when you pick up your lovable pup!

Motty is loving all the attention on Christmas. Coco, Brownie, and Bella are all sleeping away in his lap. Look at that big smile on his face! Who couldn't love those dogs?

Here I am, the receptionist. Today, just for Christmas, I am in the rooms, playing with all the dogs! This is the best Christmas present I could ask for! I have a strong passion for animals, and I love taking care of dogs all day.

I must make note, these are only a few of our hard workers here at the D. Plenty of our amazing staff have been working through this holiday season, and to them, we say, "THANK YOU!"

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ALL OF US!

Just Another Lazy Sunday

2011-12-18T08:06:00.000-08:00

Everything is going smoothly on this chilly Sunday morning. Everyone is ready for their morning nap, and a cup o' hot chocolate (and for the dogs, a nice, cool bowl of refreshing water!). Good morning, Rocky!

It is quiet here at the D. The pups seem to know that it is the weekend; a day off from playing, barking, howling, and mischief. They are enjoying cuddling and napping together, and all the doggies are at peace.

I guess everyone needs a little break sometimes! We are all relaxing to the soft holiday music playing over our speakers.

Smile, everyone! Curtis says it's going to be a great day :D

Curtis is our featured pic of the week! Have any great photos of your dog? Send them to Info@DisforDoggy.com and we can feature them in our blog!

Here Come the Big Dogs!

2011-12-17T12:05:00.000-08:00

In room #3 is where we house our big dogs. Don't let their size scare you; these dogs aren't so rough and tough, as you can see from our pictures:

Frightening, hm? Nah, this is the adorable Max. Sweet face, sweet disposition.

Look at those eyes! Mopsy is a lover, not a fighter.

Daisy! Just hanging out, posing for pics. Our dogs love to model and show off.

Ahhh, Luna and Safi. Luna is a playful pup, who is mischievous and lots of fun! She has striking eyes and a lovable personality. Safi is one pretty girl; don't be fooled by her beard! She is a girly girly who loves to cuddle (She reminds me of my dog back home in Michigan, named Frisbee! Friz has a beard too, but is most certainly a girl). These two girls seemed to have found a best friend at D is for Doggy, and don't mind relaxing with each other after a long day of playing.

We love all our dogs here at the D!

It's nap time!

2011-12-14T05:29:00.000-08:00

Many of the pups who stay at the D are big time sleepers. Obviously, Yoda, pictured above, is not. But hey, it's a cute picture of our beloved resident dog! He's watching you! Also pictured: Kira

Here is lovable Joshua, a beagle mix. He is taking the day off from the daily stresses of being a dog and is taking a little nap on our comfy couch. I'd say he looks pretty happy, wouldn't you?

Harry here is a unique dog. He can do special tricks, like the one shown above: sleeping while sitting up! He's perfectly content to sit straight up and be fast asleep. We love Harry and his silly trick!

I guess Harry's trick isn't uncommon, eh? Rocko and Plonky seemed trained in the art of sleeping while sitting up. We love laughing at our hilarious friends.

A day in the life of a D Doggy

2011-12-10T06:46:00.000-08:00

A sweet moment with Olive and Rocko, taking a nap on our comfy, soft couches. Rocko is a sleepy, sweet little chihuahua, that everyone loves to have in their laps! Olive is playful and fun, and all the dogs love to play with her. She takes turns running and jumping around with each dog, and then takes a little nap with one of her closest friends. Today, Rocko is the lucky one!

This is Elvis, sleeping away in our window. He loves to people watch, and the people love to watch him! Neighbors and visitors alike gather around our window, and peek in to see this adorable sweetie snoozing. Pose, Elvis!

Here is Puck, loving our good friend, Kaitlyn. Who couldn't love those big, beautiful eyes? Don't you just wanna pet and give him kisses? Or an Eskimo kiss (though dogs usually have wet noses!)? The staff is sending kisses and love your way, Puck!

Don't forget about our

Holiday Donation Drive!

Welcome New Puppy!

2011-12-09T06:21:00.000-08:00

(Pictured in Order from Left to Right: Franklin, Cooter, Rocko, Taylor)

We have a new puppy at D is for Doggy. Welcome, Cooter, the 4 month old Shiba Inu! Cooter is fitting in well with the other dogs. He likes the attention he gets in the window. He fluffs his tail and struts his stuff when people are peering in! He's also very playful with all the new dogs. Worried about bringing your shy new pup? Don't be! Cooter will be friendly and fun! This spunky pup will warm your heart.
