Doggy daycare pups begin arriving for the day. Boarding dogs are fed breakfast and given some time to let the food settle. 7:00 AM – After the dogs have waited 30 minutes post-breakfast for the food to settle (so they don’t get upset stomachs), the dogs are released outside into their groups to play for the day.  8 AM – The last of
