So, my beagle, Brandy, is a fospice failure. Officially adopted! But that being said...she has…read moremalignant melanoma, and her time left on this planet is rather unknown. :( So she decided to #livelikeroo (if you're unfamiliar, you should definitely google it!) and Brandy the Beagle's Bucket List was born. We've made a steady clip on it, but yesterday we found out some generous, anonymous soul donated a swim sesh for our girl out of the kindness of her (or his?) heart. *swoon* Cathy, the amazing owner of The Puddle, reached out on Instagram (yes, Brandy has her own account...don't judge) and she was immediately amazing. Not even kidding. We exchanged a few emails, spoke on the phone, and set up an appointment for yesterday morning at 11AM. You guys, this place is AWESOME. Okay, for starters...it's pristine. The shop itself, the pool, the pool area, the drying area, the self dog wash area...all spotlessly clean. It's like dogs don't even set foot in here, let alone parade through here all day. As a germaphobe, these things matter greatly to me, believe me. Second: Cathy is basically a dog whisperer. If you're a pet parent, you know that warm & fuzzy feeling you get when someone is so incredibly (& genuinely) sweet to your furry family member? That's Cathy. Brandy adored her immediately. *I* adored her immediately. She was SO good with my pup. So gentle, so loving, so kind. I had zero hesitation about having my "non-swimming" dog in a wonderfully warm pool as I sat on the sidelines. Cathy was perfectly attentive and intuitive. She provided a fantastic work-to-rest ratio and was never out of arm's reach; she let Brandy swim independently but stayed close. She switched back and forth from life jacket swimming to free swimming, but always watched Brandy for any signs of stress and/or fatigue. So, how did she, my sweet beagle, like her swimming experience? Brandy LOVED it, you guys. Loved. It. She took to it like--wait for it--a dog (duck?) to water. (Cheesy, I know. But seriously!) She had an absolute blast and was so calm, so content, so happy. After her swim sesh, you would've thought she was a one year old puppy, not a senior beagle with terminal cancer. Total case of the "zoomies". And then she slept the whole 90 minute drive home! If you're thinking about introducing your pup to swimming, The Puddle is the place to go. Truth: not all dogs are natural swimmers. Some can't, and that means they sink. Not kidding, you guys. If your canine companion is going to be around water, you definitely need to check this out. Cathy at The Puddle is the best of the best. This is honestly one of the easiest five stars I've ever Yelped. Ever.

We've had a weekly visit to The Puddle from May-present before my dog had CCL surgery and to help…read morehim recover when he was cleared to rehab. We've had a lot of swims with Adrianne- and we love her and her relationship with our Oliver. The swims have really helped him recover and strengthen both his injured leg and his healthy leg. The Puddle is a popular place, so it is sometimes tricky to get in- but well worth it in my opinion. They also sell lots of fun toys and treats for dogs too and have a space for bathing your dog that I need to try out for sure. They also sell packages for the swims that do save you a little money. I would highly recommend this location- the staff is absolutely wonderful!

We love how excited he is to go to daycare as well, especially because he'll be put to work. When guests come over he'll now hold place and wait for them to greet them, and be released when calm. I highly recommend training for your dog, it's a worthwhile investment.

The doctor was nice and did not try to push added things on to make my bill higher. They stayed well within the estimate and my dog was well taken care of there. We have found a new family vet because now my brother has some place to take his cat. He was using the same vet I was but was overcharged both times and we had to wait for refund.

We work and he is a rescue, we hoped having him play with other dogs and socialize would be good for him. Last week was great! The trainer was in the room with the dogs, playing, cleaning, she even brought out bubbles at one point. He had an absolute blast playing with other dogs. We were so excited to take him again. Today? Wow. The stuff I saw disgusted and shocked me. My dog was here for 1.5 hours tops before we drove back to pick him up. During the 1.5 hours, with a different trainer than last week, I saw dogs eating each others poop (at least separate 3 times), urine and feces not being picked up for a while while the dogs walked/played, the trainer spraying the dogs in the face with the corrective spray for (from what I saw) literally no reason, dogs mounting and humping other dogs with no repercussions, dog fights going unnoticed and uncorrected, even at one point a dog pinning another to the ground while biting its neck and trying to shake it like a toy/rag doll. While on the way to get my dog out of there, I also witnessed some of the dogs getting into an open container of baby wipes and eating them while the trainer was god knows where, and a short while later, a dog (laying down) getting lightly slapped by the mop to get it to stand and move out of the way so she could clean. I CANNOT believe someone would treat another living being like I saw them do in a short amount of time today. I am appalled to say the last. We pulled our dog out, and spoke with the front desk. I later called and had a good conversation with the owner, Dave. He sounded like he was sorry, said this isn't a normal day, and did say I would get a full refund on the month I paid ahead for, but wow. I want to get the word out to anyone who cares about their pets. I would SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER taking your four-legged family members here for daycare.
