When Bella arrived yesterday, her person shared that she'd had to reassure several concerned gas station patrons that Bella was, in fact, perfectly healthy.

No, she was not injured.
No, she was not being abused.
No, she was not being tortured.
And despite the dramatic soundtrack, she was definitely not in the process of dying.

I smiled and nodded knowingly. We've had a few dogs over the years whose vocal talents have prompted similar concerns from well-meaning strangers.

This morning, however, I finally got to experience Bella's performance firsthand.

Friends, I have been thoroughly informed, at considerable volume, that Bella did not appreciate spending the night without cuddles.

Not a little displeased.
Not mildly inconvenienced.

Absolutely betrayed.

The sounds that emerged from this adorable drama queen could have convinced an unsuspecting bystander that I was committing crimes against puppies. If I had heard those noises coming from somewhere else, I probably would have sprinted over to rescue the poor dog myself.

As I write this, Bella continues to voice her grievances while attempting to physically merge with me into a single life form so that I can never, ever leave her again.

For the record, Bella has been fed, watered, loved on, given treats, taken outside, and informed repeatedly that she is a very good girl.

The jury remains out on whether she finds this compensation adequate.

🐾 **Breaking News from Doggie Headquarters:** 🐾

For what may be the first time ever, we have achieved a truly remarkable feat...

**We are currently operating at 100% Brittany capacity.** 😂

No Labs. No Goldens. No doodles. No shepherds. Not even a rogue Chihuahua.

Just Brittanys.

Every. Single. Dog.

If you've never met a Brittany, you're essentially looking at the canine equivalent of a professional athlete fueled by enthusiasm, determination, and approximately three gallons of invisible espresso. ☕🏃‍♂️

The Brittany (also known as the *Épagneul Breton*) originated in France and has a history stretching back hundreds of years. Dogs resembling today's Brittany can be seen in paintings and tapestries dating back to the 1600s. During the mid-1800s, French hunting dogs were crossed with English Setters and Pointers, creating the modern Brittany we know today, a highly athletic, versatile hunting dog capable of working through dense brush, rough terrain, and challenging weather.

The breed was officially recognized in France in 1907 and by the AKC in 1934. Although they were originally known as the **Brittany Spaniel**, they officially dropped the "Spaniel" in 1982 because their hunting style is much more similar to pointers and setters than traditional spaniels.

A few fun Brittany facts:

🎯 They're renowned hunting dogs with incredible stamina and drive.

🌲 They were bred to work all day in difficult terrain, which means your average backyard zoomie is basically their warm-up routine.

🤫 They're often quieter than many sporting breeds. One theory is that early breeders favored dogs that worked quietly, allowing hunters to remain less noticeable while pursuing game. Another theory is that peasants in medieval France needed a silent dog capable of hunting on banned aristocratic lands.

❤️ They are intensely loyal and form strong bonds with their families.

⚡ They thrive when given a job to do, whether that's hunting, agility, hiking, nose work, or simply helping supervise every household activity.

Today's crew has been a blur of wagging tails, happy faces, and enough energy to power a small French village. Fortunately, they're all very good dogs... because if they decided to organize, I suspect they'd be capable of taking over the facility by lunchtime. 😂

Hello all! We are absolutely LOVING the warmer weather and sunshine 💜

We wanted to take a moment to address the recent gastrointestinal illness that affected some dogs in our care. As dog owners and animal lovers ourselves, we completely understand the concern, hesitation, and questions surrounding it. Please know this has been taken very seriously from the very beginning.

We have been working closely with several local veterinarians, including Dr. Dawn's, Dr. Deb at Southwood Veterinary Clinic, as well as Dr. Maddox at NDSU. Throughout this process we have remained transparent and in contact with owners whose dogs boarded before, during, and after the affected timeframe, as well as upcoming reservations.

At this time, all f***l and PCR testing has returned negative for contagious bacterial, viral or parasitic causes, with findings primarily showing an overabundance of normal enteric gut flora. As it has been explained to us by the veterinarians involved, all dogs naturally carry bacteria in their digestive systems. Some dogs, however, are considered “heavy shedders,” meaning they release a larger amount of bacteria, especially when over excited, stressed (good or bad stress), or even something as simple as a water source change, into the environment through their stool. Even with prompt cleanup, trace bacteria can remain on the ground. Other dogs may then unknowingly pick it up on their paws and ingest it later through normal grooming behaviors, potentially leading to gastrointestinal upset due to the sudden imbalance in gut bacteria.

Based on current veterinary recommendations from both Southwood and NDSU, we are encouraging all boarding dogs to begin a pre/probiotic before their stay, continue during boarding, and remain on it for approximately two weeks afterward.

In addition to our already strict sanitation procedures, we have implemented several enhanced preventative measures, including:
• Weekly bleaching of our turf run areas
• Heavy sprinkler flushing of outdoor spaces to help push excess bacteria deeper into the soil
• Continued use of freshly mixed TP 256 disinfectant daily
• Installation of a heavy-duty commercial dehumidifier
• Upgrading to a larger air conditioning unit for improved airflow and humidity control
• Allowing longer spacing between departures and arrivals when needed to ensure proper disinfecting saturation and drying time between dogs

Moving forward, we are also requesting that all dogs:
• Be fully up to date on vaccinations
• Be on flea/tick prevention
• Arrive with a pre/probiotic to be added to their meals during their stay

We truly appreciate the trust you place in us to care for your pets. We know how much they mean to you because we feel the same way about our own (and yours). Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support while we navigate this carefully and thoughtfully.

As always, if you have concerns specific to your dog, we encourage consulting directly with your veterinarian for guidance 💜

Must be a Labrador pup thing 🥹.
Here we have a sweet 4 month old showing off her bouncy personality and a just turned 6 month old showing off his catching skills...he's come a long way since his last stay when it just bounced off his noggin.

"She's obnoxious."

That’s what I was told about Charlie. And if I’m honest… she kind of was.

She was demanding. Judgmental. She knew exactly what she wanted, exactly when she wanted it, and if you failed to meet her expectations within her acceptable time frame, she’d either yell at you or deliver some truly devastating side eye.

But somewhere along the way, she completely weaseled her way into my heart.

While I love and care for every dog that visits us, Charlie was one of those special ones. I absolutely adored her. She made me laugh constantly. She was a drama queen extraordinaire, obsessed with fetch, and an even bigger fan of cuddles. This one hit me hard.

She was one of the very few dogs allowed inside my house. She loved to cuddle with my son and personal dogs on the couch.

She had her own toys here. A special ball and a stuffed reindeer she cuddled the way a child clings to a teddy bear. Every time she arrived, she’d march right over to where they were kept and demand I hand them over immediately.

Charlie was almost always thrilled to arrive… and somehow equally thrilled to leave. She’d yell at her person at pickup as if to say, “How dare you leave me here!” despite having just spent her stay playing ball, eating treats, soaking up cuddles, and demanding the peasants attend to her every whim.

Yes, Charlie was obnoxious.

But she was also deeply loved.

And she will be deeply missed.

Our hearts go out to her family. She may have been tiny, but she filled every space she entered with an enormous personality. I can only imagine how quiet and empty home must feel without her there now.
