North's Big Adventure: Day Ten

Home at last! Although I am extra happy to have my lil' fella back home after ten days away, North seemed to have other ideas about this morning's end to his wild adventure at Wag Hotel.

Home at last! Although I am extra happy to have my lil' fella back home after ten days away, North seemed to have other ideas about this morning's end to his wild adventure at Wag Hotel. When I arrived to pick him up, I could hear him before I could see him . . . wheezing, snorting, and pulling to enter the lobby area. Although he gave me his typical welcome back greeting of a quick glance, the oh-it's-just-mama realization, and the look for more interesting people present, he was squirming out of my arms for final kisses as the staff members (and North) seemed genuinely sad about his departure. After coming in the apartment and reacquainting his nose with every nook and cranny, he curled up in his bed where he has been snoring for the last eight hours. Overall, he seems well adjusted and, I bet after his long sleep today, tomorrow he'll be back to normal, nosy North.

North's Big Adventure: Day Five

Do you miss hearing about North?

Do you miss hearing about North? I sure wished I knew how he was doing so I gave San Francisco's Wag Hotel a call yesterday to check in. My crazy pup is playing with their number two group – good for dogs that aren't super active. Hmmm, I wonder if my little fella has already mellowed from his normal, constant spastic state in my five day absence . . . and I wonder if this could possibly continue when I return?! Doubtful. He's usually as active as they come so maybe he's getting an extra good workout there and, either way, I'm glad that he loves his puppy playtime with whichever group he's in. They also told me that he has a big appetite (duh!) which must mean he has already eaten the baggie of snacks I left and that he's "super duper sweet" (double duh!) – I wonder if they're tired of slobbery North kisses yet! No matter what, it sounds like he is enjoying himself as much as I am!

North's Big Adventure: Day One

This will be the very first Christmas I have spent without North .

This will be the very first Christmas I have spent without North . . . in fact, I miss him already and I haven't even left town yet! I'm spending the holidays in Turks and Caicos with my parents and, because of the islands' quarantine laws, my little fella cannot come along. Sad. After checking out my options, I've decided to put him up at San Francisco's Wag Hotel while I'm gone. I took a tour of their facilities (and recorded this video), provided all his shot records, and dropped him off this morning. I've socialized my little one quite a bit (he always gets top marks for energy on his daycare report cards) so I know he'll enjoy his stay at this new facility. When we arrived there today, he was so busy giving kisses to everyone in the lobby and retail area, I couldn't even record him or give him a cuddly farewell. He already seems to be a big hit but, little do they know, his love and affection won't stop after I walk out. I'll keep you posted on his pawgress . . .
