Arlington County posted a water advisory for the part of the County where our daycare is located. We have purchased water for the dogs to drink and had switched to that earlier this morning. The advisory stated it was okay to continue to use tap water for bathing, cleaning, and laundry. The current advisory runs through Sunday. We will follow the County's guidance and ensure all the dogs are getting safe water to drink.

Smart dogs are begging for you to enroll now! 🎓

Kickin' off the month with this cutie! 🐶 Say hi to our June Pet of the Month honoree Griffin 🐾

☀️ Griffin is a 19 month old male Alaskan Klee Kai. Griffin joined Fur-Get Me Not in 2023 and uses our daycare and training services.

☀️ Words to live by: "Snacks are life."

☀️ Favorite thing about our team? That everyone is so excited to see Griffin in the morning at drop-off and in the evenings at pick-up. And, of course, that he comes home and passes out. :)

☀️ Favorite daycare friend? Griffin will play with everyone until he tires them out or annoys them enough he's put in a time out, but he seems to really like Penny, Penelope and Basil lately. Yay Group D!

☀️ Quirk? Griffin likes to walk while peeing and there have been a few shoes hit at FGMN! We're sorry! If you ask for kisses, he'll lick your ear.

☀️ If he could talk, what would he say? Griffin would ask for treats and to play chase.⁠

☀️ Why did you choose our service? Griffin was incredibly shy when he first came home at 8 weeks. He was afraid of everything including other dogs and people. In our continuing effort to socialize him, we did group training classes, dog parks and eventually, when he was ready, daycare. It's been a huge help with his socialization and depleting his high energy.⁠

☀️ Anything else you would like to share? Griffin has his own Instagram handle if you'd like to follow him

Happening now… Brianne is training dogs enrolled in Enrichment School today while the others are working their noses in another playgroup or on their nature walks. If your dog hasn’t tried Enrichment School yet they are missing out on some amazing benefits. Ask us how to get started.

💥 New Workshop Alert!💥 Join us Friday, 5/31 for another Scent Work Escape Room and watch the power of your dog's nose transform into the best puzzle-solver ever! Checkout Mika (pictured here) on the hunt...🐽🤩

🐾 Excellent for any dog especially puppies, adolescents, elderly dogs, and Impulse Control, Confidence Building, Brain Games, or Cooperative Care students and anyone with enrichment interest.

In this workshop, you and your dog will be a team, searching for clues to break the code. You’ll work against the clock leveraging your skills (such as having a thumb) with your dog’s skills of having a powerful nose. No experience needed. If your dog has any food limitations, please let us know and be sure to bring enough treats to provide us for when we set up each room.

Fur-Get Me Not

Showing off those pearly whites with nothin' but smiles! 😁😃

Waiting for my bestie like... where you at?

Friday ready 🎉

Kickin' off the month with this cutie! 🐶 Say hi to our newest Pet of the Month honoree Ember 🐾

🌸 Ember is a 9 month old female German Shorthaired Pointer. Ember joined Fur-Get Me Not in 2023 and uses our daycare, private at-home training, and nail trimming services.

🌸 Words to live by: "I've never met a treat or trail I didn't like."

🌸 Favorite thing about our team? We love that Ember is greeted by name when she shows up to daycare every day. Funny enough, one morning as I was walking out the door after dropping her off, I heard one of the gals at the front desk say, "Good morning, Ms. Ballestero!" I turned around, only to realize she was talking to Ember, not me- gave our family a good laugh! The team genuinely seems to care about the pups!

🌸 Favorite daycare friend? Louie, Frankie B, Duchess, and Seamus are Ember's squad from Group C

🌸 Quirk? Ember is a total treat mongrel! She can be fast asleep- nubby tail happily wagging during a dream- and the slightest crinkle of a treat bag (human or puppy) will wake her up! Cheese, chicken, and blueberries are among her favorite non-puppy treats. If a treat falls into her water bowl, she'll be sure to "dive" (blow bubbles out of her nose) to retrieve it. When she's not snacking, Ember loves to run around the Holmes Run Stream Valley. Whether chasing a frisbee (sadly two too many have been lost to the Holmes Run), sniffing the scents of fox and deer, or watching the birds, she loves to be outside.

🌸 If she could talk, what would she say? "More bubbles!"⁠

🌸 Why did you choose our service? Convenient location, flexible hours, clean, friendly staff, positive training philosophy ⁠

🌸 Anything else you would like to share? Ember is our first puppy and FGMN is the only dog daycare service we have used; we could not be more satisfied with the service!
