Christmas 09'

Christmas was a lovely week for all of us at Ruff House. We have a FULL house. It kept all of us on our toes. Thank you all for your support and trust with your loving animals.

We'll MISS You Lindsey

We always hate the day when we lose a wonderful employee, co-worker, dog expert and friend. Lindsey Adams is getting married Friday December 18th and moving to Las Vegas with her new husband. We loved getting to know her and working with her was always a pleasure. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for everything you did for us and all the love you shared with our furry guests. She really put the dogs first before everything else in her life. We need more people like you.

We'll also miss your cute babies...

'Annie' (please bring her up to visit so we can watch her grow)

'Grissom'

and 'Champ'

We TOO Can Share

We got some new rope toys...which won't last long, but a blast anyhoo...and all the dogs took turns playing and tugging at the frayed edges. Honestly, they watched the other dogs play and then took turns tugging at the rope with each other, no fighting, biting, pushing, or shoving. It was soo much fun to watch the play in action.
Proof that it was a playful session with love. Little 'Leyah' got her turn as well. She doesn't look too interested though...

Oh so gentle, even little 'annie' is involved.

Go 'Daisy' run run run while you still can...

Didn't last long. With a paw like 'Mable's' on your neck you may give it up too. Although 'Mable' is the sweetest thing.

'Sekoya'

Boxer tug-a-LOVE

FUN!

These two played for hours.

Shepherd mixes

'Mable' haha, don't you want to plant a kiss on that nose...

Smile :-)

Scruffy face...'Plato' was such a riot. He has the greatest personality. His look fits him perfectly.

Shhhh! 'Bella' is sleeping. We got another cozy futon and the kids love to doggie pile on it together.

'Schoggi' is always at ease with a ball and a cot. This little rambunctious one is 4 yrs old yet acts and looks like she is still a puppy. Some doggies never grow up...thank goodness!

Tug-a-war is always a fun game when being supervised.

'Bosa' is all smiles during his first stay at Ruff House. We love making dogs happy :-)

Thanksgiving Yay!

Wow! We sure did have a wild and crazy time this thanksgiving.

Dogs dogs dogs were everywhere.

Honestly, we couldn't be more thankful.

Thank you thank you thank you to all who support us and allow us to love and play with your furry babies. We truly have the best job ever.

Just thinking about a monstrous stuffed turkey is making 'Sekoya' lick her lips. Little does she know i'm not sharing...haha!

These crazy doggies were a challenge to get photos of. They didn't slow down for days. Hopefully they rested once they got home. Owners love it when they pick up their dogs and they sleep for 2 days. Rest assure that is exactly what we want them to do.

'Jesse' giving us his -love me- face. Yup, they know how to get us...every time.

Oh my! How do you not fall in love with dogs?? Look at the love they share. Snuggling close to one another. They are so smart. If only I could slip in between without them moving.

Little 'Leyah' snuck herself up. She is our newest little puppy friend. We can't get enough of puppies. Right now we have little 'Annie' banannie the boxer pup and 'Leyah'

'Teddy' was a new buddy staying for Thanksgiving.

'Raiders' mom had a baby over Thanksgiving. He was staying with us and no his eyes don't really look like that. It would be cool if they did though.

He was a small little guy but he only wanted to play with the rowdy big dogs.

'Dexie' was a proud little shit zhu who stayed for his first time and was a happy camper when the pups would hop off the couch so he could lounge around in peace.

'Champ' and 'Grissom' we all know these guys!!

'Rossi' her face says it all...

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!!

As some of you know we have been doing some up keep on our facility, with dogs it tends to wear out quickly. We had a lot of spectators making sure we did a dog gone good job, hopefully those fur balls enjoy the work we've put into the place.

Bright white pup on a bright green chair...what a great combo.

Dogs sure do come in all sizes. This Newfoundland is a pup believe it or not. They can sometimes reach over 200 lbs. imagine the size of their droppings.

A good little snuggle on the futon. The dogs love the couches and futons at Ruff House. They find friends and snuggle away in the afternoons...so precious!

'Neville' giving us his best face.

'Sekoya' begging for treats. Honestly, how can you not give in to these animals? Its hard but we try our best not to encourage bad behavior.

'Phoebe' and 'Otis' giving nose kisses.

The bunch...

Ohhhh, a little 'Annie' puppy with a flopped over ear...boxer puppies are so stinkin cute.

Looks like some dogs are getting sleepy watching us work on the facility. Such silly kids.

...and their OUT!
