Scampers Weekly Recap - August 21, 2015
Dear --Valued Customer--
Finally, we get to enjoy a week of real Pacific Northwest summer - a little sunshine and a little haze, and the occasional mist.
We're so grateful that, while the pooches are still enjoying a dip in one of the pools from time to time, it's only because it's so much fun and not because it's necessary.
Watch for the updates of our framed Friday Funny in our reception area.
We'll also make sure they're posted on our Facebook page so you can share them with your friends.

We're a pretty close knit group of pooches - we form strong friendships, and we get to know each other very well. When we new pooches join us, we love to introduce them around and get them started in their Scampering adventures - that's why they call us the "welcome waggin".
This week, we welcomed three newbies.
On Monday, Little Nala came to see what goes on. She's a very shy girl when it comes to the wranglers, but she quite likes her fellow pooches, and sniffs and wags with grace and elegance.
On Wednesday, it was Echo's turn to try out the Scampers environment. She's just moved her with her family from Virginia, and seems to enjoy the Pacific Northwest, and all the campers she found here.
Thursday was Apollo's day to try out for the Scampers Team - he's definitely a party boy, and found plenty of energy and entertainment with the Mediums.
Hey, Peeps, don't forget, if you're curious about how we spend our days and you're not quite sure what those report cards really mean, you can watch the adventures in the photos and videos our wranglers are posting on the Scampers Facebook page.
There's also a ScampersDogs channel on YouTube where you'll find all kinds of fun videos, and we update that selection periodically.
Chris Sugarbaker of Cut-N-Run, mobile groomer extraordinaire will make his next visit to Scampers on Tuesday, September 1st.
His schedule really does fill up often, and while we'll try to squeeze everyone in, please make sure to get your request in early if your dog needs a spruce-up.

Every once in a while we receive a photo from one of our customers showing us what their beloveds are doing after their day at Scampers.
We're always looking for new material but we have some classics to share:

This category of owner-contributed pics features dogs enjoying their extracurricular fun.
This is where we'll post the pics we've received of your pooches enjoying summer vacations, beach roaming, ball games, and any other such general exploring.
Ripley's secret to keeping her cool.
Finley is awestruck by the majesty of Crater Lake.
MeiMei is showing us that she's truly a water dog in this exquisitely timed shot. What a refreshing moment!
Sometime during the night, Biscuit arranged all her Milkbones in a carefully spaced path from her favorite lounging spot to her human's bedroom door. We'll never know why.
We have also received some great shots documenting "The Real Reason" you bring your furkids to Scampers.
Pretty Josie is showing us how much she loves her Tuffy indestructible toy. You can just see the pride in her eyes!
Here's Charlie R, wearing his chicken bag. This is how Sally found him when she returned home one day.
We were not at all surprised to learn that Charlie R's littermate, Gunnar McL, is equally talented. This is Gunnar's attempt at helping around the office. We're pretty sure this is why he spends time with us at Scampers.
Pretty Abby G is a very helpful pooch indeed. This lovely picture shows her effort at helping to unpack mysterious things at the office.
Is anyone noticing a trend? Those yellow labs can be so charming, and so helpful!
Canine Nosework Classes at Scampers

Dogs on Leashes, Pretty Please
Our reception area is often very busy, and we host many dogs with many different kinds of personalities. While we love them all, we know that some are inclined to jump up and greet new friends, and others are inclined to try to protect their beloved humans.

To avoid any kind of mishap, please ensure your pooches are securely leashed and in control while in our reception area.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
