| - Before I had a dog, I never really understood the purpose of Doggy Day Care. I thought, if someone wasn't able to care for and socialize their dog themselves, or if the dog wasn't okay being home while they were at work, why in the world would they get the dog in the first place. I can own it, I was wrong.
The thing is, puggles (pug+beagle) have A LOT of that beagle energy! And although I read a lot about it before bringing Bailey home to live with us, I did not realize the true extent of the puggle puppy energy. Doggy Day Care (or DDC as it is know in our house, so she doesn't get too excited) is a great solution for Bailey's energy.
She loves going to Malinda's and everyone there is very friendly. They always seem happy to see her when I drop in, unannounced, to let her play for a few hours. Only $10 for a half day of DDC (5 hours or less), what a great price to pay for Bailey's happiness and a calm house. Don't get me wrong, I love taking her to the dog park, but I am only good for about an hour and she'll still be ready to play.
I have also used Malinda's for grooming and boarding and have been very happy with both. When we go out of town I feel bad leaving her at a friend's house because she has so much energy, I think they might be volunteering for more than they realize. While the boarding might be a little on the high side ($40/night), when I take her to Malnda's, I know she is playing in day care all day (instead of being locked in a small, confined space) so that when it is time for her to go in her room, she'll be all ready to sleep. Even though the puggles do like to play, they still have the cuddle-side of the pug and seem to really enjoy nap time as well!
Sorry to steal your line Brett B., but I have to say Malinda's is puggle approved!
