Hi Everyone ! What a great 2 weeks of weather we've had. Sunny and down right hot. Great pool weather and we've been taking advantage of it. Don't worry though, there is always air conditioning to be had by anyone who would rather stay in and lounge around. On days when it is over 90 degrees we do have to limit free access to the yards so that no one gets heat stroke. We are getting ready to start our staff's busy season anytime now. (which is August through Christmas) The new dogs will start appearing as soon as school starts but even as soon as August 1st we will start our Halloween picture shoot. For those of you who were not here last year, we dress up each and everydog in costume and in October we will email you a picture free of charge. It seemed like a good idea at the time when I had a roster of 20 dogs. Now that we have over 500 dogs it is quite a large undertaking and we must start in August to get it done by October. In the beginning of October after the last dog is shot for Halloween, we start all over again and go right into Christmas pictures. Christmas pictures and photo xmas cards are always a big hit at the holidays. And of course everydog will continue to get a Birthday picture when they come on their birthday. We are also re-organizing Canines Unleashed as a whole. We have quite a few people leaving us in the next few weeks and in the fall for various reasons. Some of our remaining staff members will be put in different positions throughout the company and a training program will be ongoing for those new members of our team that will be coming aboard. Please be assured that throughout all of this the safety of your dogs is uppermost in our minds and you will not see a difference at all in the care your dog receives here. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email me personally at : annie@caninesunleashed.com Thanks Ann

Pics from the past 2 weeks

Finally a new post

Hi All ! Zoe and I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks and we apologize for not being able to get to the blog. It is more time consuming than we originally expected but we will try to keep it up at least once a week. We have pics and videos from the last 2 weeks. I will post the videos first (below) and then quite a few pictures in an additional blog (above) Thanks for your understanding.

Friday June 11th - week in review (part 1)

Hi all !

June 7th - 11th brought us 5 new dogs and 7 birthdays.

On Wed we welcomed Layla (2 yr old puggle)and Gidget (3 year old Jack Russell/Beagle).

Layla was shy at first with both our pack leaders and the other dogs but by the end of her first day she was comfortable with the people and that's the first step. We look forward to her continued progress. Gidget was in the large room with the whole pack within the first hour she was in the building.

Thurs we welcomed Cooper K (1-1/2 year old golden). Cooper......well, Cooper was a typical Golden. He had no problems at all and fit into the pack like he had been here all his life.

On Friday in our littles room we welcomed Holly (1-1/2 yr old Bichon) sister of Katie the Sheltie

and Daisy (13 week old Shih Tzu) sister of Rosie. Both were happy to have siblings in the room with them to show them the ropes.

Birthdays this week :

Gracie (Greater Swiss Mountain Dog turned 2 along with her brother Pax (Hound Mix) who turned 1.

Timber (Eurasier) turned 4 years old

Dublin (Golden) turned 5 years old

Nemo (Corgi) turned 2 years old

Samantha (Aussie) who hasn't been here for a while due to an agility injury, came back for her birthday this week. She turns 5 years old

Katie P. (Sheltie) turns 3 next week but we celebrated today

Since the sun finally decided to come out today, we brought out the agility equipment for the first time this year. The littles were not too impressed but the big group had alot of fun both in the tunnel outside and on the jumps. Enjoy the pics above and the videos below.

One more special note from the week :

Dozer, our rescue Great Dane came back on Monday this week bouncing back from a couple of near death experiences. He is recuperating in my office for another week or 2 but he is strong and looking great and is just about back to normal. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts, prayers and concern about Dozer. As many of you know it was a special project of mine to get

Dozer away from his past situations and into a loving home and get him healthy and happy.

He has just that in his home with Caesar (Mastiff) and Maddy (Poodle) and of course his wonderful new mom Joni. Hopefully we have past our last hurdle health wise and Dozer will now be able to live the long healthy life he deserves.

Everybody have a happy healthy weekend and we'll see you next week to do this all again !

That's it for now ..........Ann & Zoe
