Our Murder Mystery event is officially over! It was pretty tricky this year- each suspect had means, motive, and opportunity...but only one had all three! Not going to lie, halfway through the event I was even questioning who the killer was (and I knew from the beginning)!

Our first winner was Jeff K and his son Brooks with Cooper, the father/son duo got it on September 10th before anyone else! The the second winner is from the raffle. Because we're good sports, we expanded our raffle to include one ticket from each client who had submitted any suspect from the list and doubled up on the correct guesses. Here's the lovely Allyson drawing our second winner, Rob & Rubie!

Introducing our October 2026 Dog of the Month– the amazing and admirable Ava! Every Wednesday Ava brings her positive and playful energy with her to daycare, and it radiates throughout the playgroup to the other dogs. She loves to play with toys and run around with her friends, especially Carl and Jax. Ava is also a huge sweetheart, and cannot get enough love from our staff, oftentimes snuggling her way in between our legs. She is also a sucker for the warm weather because this means she can have zoomies in the pasture and a dip in the pool. Ava’s lighthearted spirit makes her a perfect companion for the other dogs in the playgroup, and she has never met a dog she didn’t get along with. Congrats Ava! ♥️

It's the end of our Murder Mystery Month! After reviewing the clues, it was evident: Charlie L the Lagotto Romagnolo was the murderer! Why? Simple: Paige substituted his Grated Parmesan Cheese for American Cheese Slices! Unthinkable for an Italian dog!

Congrats to all our detectives at home! This year was tricky, we only had 3 correct guesses! Due to this, we added one vote from everyone who put in a valid guess to the raffle and added two tickets for the correct sleuths 🕵️‍♀️ the video of the raffle drawing will be up on Thursday, along with our winner's photos but we have completed our drawing. Special shout out to Aimee C with Artemis & Pippa, who passionately poured over the clues every Monday, Heather V with April & Lexi who excitedly signed up her two suspects for each weeks activities, Jeff K with Cooper who solved it before anyone else with the help of his son Brooks, and Rob F who is going on two years of correct solves in a row! We had a ton of fun this year and hope you all did as well 💙
