How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Hello Friends! I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer, full of great memories. It's been super busy around here the past few months- lots and lots of dogs came to stay this summer. A few weeks ago, I decided to do some filming of my friends cooling off in the pool; as you can see, they have a blast swimming, chasing each other, and diving after balls. Want to join in the fun? Call for a reservation....the pool's still open!

Future Therapy Dogs

Hello Friends! Sorry it's been so long since I posted here. Lots going on, writers block...please accept my apologies. Anyway, I'm back today to tell you about an awesome opportunity my friend Pogo and I had today.

So you know how I loooooovvvve people, right? Well, for some time now I've been considering becoming a therapy dog to reach out and give back since I have such a great life here at the Ranch. Today, I took the leap and had my first evaluation to becoming an official therapy dog.

Pam Wilson at Therapy Dogs, Inc. was nice enough to meet us at Spanish Meadows and Pogo and I visited several residents to see how we interacted. We both passed with flying colors!

Let me stop for a minute and tell you about Pogo. Pogo is a sweet poodle who was found in a crate on the side of the road by a kind policeman. His leg was mangled and couldn't be saved, but thankfully, he does great on three legs (hence the name Pogo). Pogo was adopted recently from CAP by Adrienne, one of WT's receptionists. Adrienne's daughter Cassie is Pogo's best buddy.

Anyway, both Pogo and I are well on our way to becoming therapy dogs. We have two more observations in different settings, but I will definitely let you know when we are officially certified!

My Waggin' Tails Family is so proud of me and Pogo!

Santa Paws

There is a holiday tradition at Waggin' Tails. Every year on Christmas Eve, Santa Paws pays a visit to the kennel, leaving toys and treats for the good dogs who aren't with their families on Christmas. It's always so much fun watching the dogs open and enjoy their gifts!

Riley wanted to open everyone else's gift!

Simba and Mocha can't wait to see what Santa Paws brought them

'Tis the Season

Small Business Saturday

Next Saturday, November 26, is Small Business Saturday.


So what? you say. Well, who wouldn't want FREE MONEY just for shopping at their favorite store pet boarding, grooming and retail business?

That's right, free money. And after Black Friday, that sounds even better. All you have to do is register your American Express card (you can do that here), spend $25 at a small business on Saturday, and you get a $25 credit on your statement.

This week, Waggin' Tails is decking our halls with brand new Christmas retail- and Small Business Saturday would be a perfect day to shop for your 4-legged family members.


We hope to see you next Saturday!

Katy Chamber Yappy Hour

A few weeks ago, my people hosted a Yappy Hour at the Ranch for the Katy Chamber of Commerce. We invited folks to come out for food, networking and doggie socialization.

We had the Wag and Wade Dog Park open for canine swimming, and yummy food from Fulshear's own Essence House Cafe.

About halfway through the event, the weather turned nasty and we had to move the party inside. We gave tours of the facility and gave away some door prizes!

Thanks to all that braved the weather and came out- it was a great time!
