We need to get some sleep, so hoping that Doggy Day Care will do it. Sailor gets restless in his kennel at night and barks and whines at least every couple of hours. We have to get up and let him out to pee.Needless to say, we are way losing sleep. Todd in particular, even though he was an RA in college and can usually sleep through parties and bands playing in the same room with him. Although we do walk him and play fetch with him at night, Sailor needs to play really hard to get all that 4 month-old energy out. Up until today, we hadn't been able to take him to Doggy Day Care. There are a lot of rules before you can get "admitted". Your dog has to be up on all their shots (which some they can't even get until they're 3 months-old), has to be fixed and their stitches out, can't be sick, etc. It's really just like having a human kid in day care.
Today was his first day and was put in the "big boy" room with the larger dogs. During the day he gets a ton of play time, nap time and lunch from 12-1. Pretty cute!
My co-worker came in the office around 11 am and announced to me that "Sailor is the new fav at day care and he went swimming in his water dish". Huh? Apparently Bryan dropped off his 2 Australian Shepherd's and the staff told him he would have a sweet Newfie to play with. Bryan immediately knew it was Sailor.
I couldn't resist going to see him at lunch. When I got there, he was in the play room in the back, so I could only watch him on the monitor. It was like watching the "Puppy Bowl" during the Super Bowl. I have to admit I was a proud "mom" as he was so cute and having so much fun.
I know he will sleep really good tonight - yay for us! Hopefully we can get him there at least a couple of days a week for his sake and ours.
