Heard ‘Round the Water Bowl
We’re excited to be adding new personalities each week. Our frequent campers are doing their best to make them feel welcome. Here’s the scoop from gossip heard ’round the water bowl:
Welcome greetings to Trillian, Canuto, Mugsy, Mika, Echo, Scout and Tucker the Lab.
“It’s a good think we have a long weekend – we’ve been having so much fun showing the newbies all the fun they can have, and we’re exhausted.”
“Oh, Ripples, we know you’re having nothing but fun, and you can always find the energy you need to have more fun.”
“Well, that’s true enough. And it’s easy to find energy to play when the newbies are as delightful as these cuties are. I am looking forward to having some fun with that handsome fellow, Tucker. He’s a high-speed kind of guy! Did you notice that he looks a lot like you, Ginger? Maybe he’s a cousin.”
“Speaking of cousins, Canuto has such a charming ‘doodle’ way about him, and did you see the way he played with Winston Dood? They’d make great bookends, if they could just stand still!”
Scampers Boarding
Our boarding services are proving to be very popular, and we’re already booking for the upcoming holiday seasons. If you foresee needing space for your pooch at Scampers, please get your reservations placed early.
