REPORT CARDS

[Cathy C. Bennett]

When your child starts school  – especially pre-school, or kindergarten, you “live” to hear the teacher tell you that little Jason “really knows his colors” or Samantha “can count all the way to 10!” This will go on until your child is able to articulate their own activities, adventures, pitfalls, and whether or not they ate their lunch.

Believe it or not, if you take a four legged child to “doggie daycare” you secretly want to know pretty much the same information. The “boys” can’t communicate such detailed information, and everyone isn’t comfortable “interrogating” the staff at pick-up time. So thank goodness the Olde Towne Pet Resort www.oldetownepetresort.com decided to incorporate a DAY CAMP REPORT so I can have all the information I could possibly want and more!

I can receive information in “writing” that would ordinarily come “verbally” from either the teacher or your child.

Check it out:

  

•  I know who they played with

• Who their counselors for the day were

• What sort of activity they participated in: chasing balls, pool play, getting their hair brushed (no I’m not joking), wrestling OR getting into trouble, and not listening

• Behavior or mood swings: happy, playful, well mannered, cuddly, OR shy, cranky, pouty, (love this one…) “talkative”, OR relaxed and laid-back

• Potty time: *this is important, because if someone has an upset tummy, mother needs to know BEFORE we get home

• Finally there are the little notes, that sum up the entire day, with a personal touch

And this happens at OTPR every single time they are there. I love it! When they sponsor events for both pets and parents, we associate and recognize each other from the information we’re provided:   “you must be Scouts people, he plays with Leo all the time”, etc…

A FOUR PAWS “UP” RATING ON THIS ONE!

   

The following announcement is certainly worthy of a spot on the news…..

Yesterday morning Leo returned the sock – Yippee, How? let’s just say it re-entered the atmosphere in the same manner in which it disappeared – 15 days later! If you want to start from the beginning read the CSI blog (dated Jan 26th).

Wow! What an amazing doggie day care! Glad you have the sock back...

[Bonnie and Kona]

So glad the sock has reappeared! Great doggie day care! 

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

This is so neat! Do they get grounded if it's ever "bad"? ( I doubt that will happen) Glad the sock came back to join you!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

We had a Lab that swallowed a sock. She acted fine, was eating and drinking normally, and just like Leo, that sock came up in the middle of the night TEN days later. I was starting to doubt I saw her swallow it at all. Sounds like you have a great doggie daycare.

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

I love it. They don't do report cards at our daycare, they don't even have a webcam (heck, might be as well since I would spend my day gazing at it), but I do ask how Monty was when picking him up. And I totally agree about the importance of potty time report as well. Do you want to check with the OTPR whether they want to open a branch here in Denver?

This is what I need for my husband to check off and fill out every time he takes Neely to the dog park! I grill him on how the visit went, who was there, animal and owner, who he played with, how he played. My husband basically says oh he had fun! And the answer to all the above is usually I don't know!!! That ticks me off, and Neely won't tell me either!
