Daisy Dog is a Pit Bull/Dalmatian mix with a sunny disposition and a whole lot of energy. In the cooler months she gets to go to the dog park, but when it gets too hot for her humans to play with her outside, she visits the well-manicured Tailwinds daycare facility conveniently located near my office in downtown Phoenix
Daisy has been a Monday-Wednesday-Friday regular at Tailwinds this summer. I purchased their buy 10 get 1 free package, so I only pay $20 for a full day, from 7:30am to 6:30pm. She gets lots of time in the water, playing ball, and socializing with other dogs in the pink group that have similar temperaments.
The staff treats her like one of their own. Daisy can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive and greets them enthusiastically, ready for her daily activities. I will often see her through the gate as I am leaving the property already running and playing in the grass outside. It's reassuring to know that she has the option of a safe and happy place to spend her day instead of waiting at home alone for her people to arrive from work. At the end of the day she usually gets a big hug and sometimes even a kiss from one of the staff members. Daisy usually falls asleep on the car ride home and is blissfully wiped out for the rest of the night.
The only bad thing I have to say about Tailwinds is that my sweet girl never wants to leave! Other than the want for some extra shade for morning drop offs in the summer sun to protect paws from hot pavement, this property is truly top-notch.
