A great day in the big dog room!

We had such a great group of dogs in the big dog room today! Even though there were over 20 dogs, it was a carefree afternoon at Bark ATL. Our boarders are all pretty tired from the past few days of fun, so they spent a lot of the day relaxing. I have to say one of the best things about working at Bark ATL is that every time you sit down, you instantly get a lap-full of puppy love! Bogie, Wally, Trooper, Maggie & Millie were all being total teddy bears today. Haha. Molly, Jake, Peanut, and Bugs were all playing hard this afternoon. Riley was curled up sleeping in the corner, as usual, but of course had to come over for the occasional cuddles. Pippin, Toby, Mikey, Scout, Berkley, Sadie Roo, and Piglet all made themselves at home and spent a good bit of the afternoon laid out on our comfy Kuranda beds. All the dogs are having a great time during their holiday stay. I think they're really enjoying the Christmas music, too. :)

Happy (almost) Holidays!

Happy Dogs on Turkey Day!

Hi Everyone and Happy Turkey Day!

We have a full house this Thanksgiving, and today is Turkey Day! We are hosting 24 big dogs and 8 little dogs this weekend, and we are having so much fun! The webcams are on for special holiday hours, so you can still see the dogs playing all weekend!

Here are some Thanksgiving "wagging tales" for you:
Piglet and Sadie Roo are being very sweet, and they love everyone!
Bugs is dog tired and enjoying lounging on a hammock, while we've got the Christmas music softly serenading him to sweet sleep.
Ozzy and Jake are all fired up, and they are having a blast!
Maggie and Millie are sleeping close, keeping each other company just as sisters do.
Coco has made many new friends, and she loves chasing and playing with them.
Max and Nicole are in love, and Lola is a lap girl.
Cooper (Monkey) never stops moving (except when he finally passes out!).
Bogie is being very affectionate and loving toward everyone, giving everybody kisses.
Pippin is SO tired, he can't keep his eyes open!
Riley Riddle is being a good boy - he loves the ladies...
Sam Chen just wants to be loved and petted, and Nessie is playing and having fun!

All the dogs are being wonderfully sweet, and we are having a good time with this bunch. We will be sure to give everyone an extra Thanksgiving treat at dinner time!

Warm wishes for a happy, safe, fun Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving week at Bark ATL!

Hi Everyone!

What a busy week we're having here at Bark ATL! As everyone knows, doggy daycare's and kennels get REALLY busy during the holidays, but that doesn't mean that we can't put our personal touch on these festive days.

The dogs are having a great time and I have a sneaking suspicion that they KNOW some big fabulous feast is happening on Thursday without them, but that's okay. Everyone knows the classic movie "A Christmas Story" where the Bumpus's dogs come clamoring in the kitchen and attack the turkey, so we're here to help prevent that from happening a ruining someone's family dinner. (ahem, we know Crazy Bailey would try that!) Also, a lot of families have their older relatives come to town so sometimes it's good for the dogs to take a "vacation", too! We're making them as happy as possible with cushy, warm beds to lounge on, festive holiday music and a lot of extra staff members to interact with.

Hope everyone has a happy Turkey Day!
