Daisys energy level requires her to attend Doggie Daycare twice a week. However, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, she hangs out with us. She likes to brag that some patients ONLY schedule on the days that shes in the office; we cant blame them Outside of providing top-notch customer service, Daisy likes to run around at the dog park, play (treat enticing) fetch, and sit or down in order to get all the yummy treats.
