OSCA reports: WAG Opens Local Doggie Daycare

THURSDAY, 13 DECEMBER 2012 16:38 BY GWENDOLYN GALL

Nice Dog Biscuits are available for all good dogs at Xmas.

Wag staff member Ana Kerr says there's been a lot of excitement among customers about their newly opened doggie daycare, and owner Joan Garvey is excited too. The room is in the basement of the shop on Bank Street juist north of Sunnyside. The space is airy and large, ideal for play, with a fenced off area for dogs of similar size to play together. This is standard practice—little dogs like to play with little dogs; big dogs with big dogs.

The room is large and well lit, with lots of space for romping. 

Wag Daycare Room

The floors are painted and easy to clean. All doggie amenables are available.

Old Ottawa South is a dog-loving neighbourhood, and it's expected that there will be plenty of demand. There is no other dog daycare in the area; there are a few dog walking services, but they don't care for the dogs for the whole working day. It's a really necessary addition to neighbourhood services.

WAG is always busy with evening events in the "doggin' it" café, and with selling their wide selection of products throughout the day. Many of WAG's events are fundraisers for local dog rescues, the Humane Society, and other worthy pet-related charities.

Ana Kerr in the Doggie Dayare

Ana Kerr has special skills with dogs, and as a veterinarian, she's a real boon should anything happen to a dog during their fun days there.

Joan Garvey has worked hard to make " WAG...a posh shop for spoiled pets" a success. The store and the café, where your dog is more than welcome, have been a popular addition to the Old Ottawa South business mix.

 A full day at WAG Dagcare is $29.99.
A half day is $19.99.

For more details about the doggie daycare program, call Joan Garvey at 613-730-4647, or visit the website atwww.wagpetshop.ca.

 WAG Daycare already has some happy customers: below are Red and Paco, two Chihauhaus spending the day in fun and play, and Marty, the Bernese Mountain Dog is hanging out with Joan and Ana, right.

The Old Ottawa South Community Association wishes WAG the best of luck in its new venture in our Old Ottawa South neighbourhood!

GDB Holiday Luncheon Keynote Address by Jake Olson

GDB recently held our 36th annual Festive Holiday Luncheon at the Westin St. Francis hotel on Union Square in San Francisco - it was such a wonderful way to usher in the holidays! More than 700 people turned out to enjoy a lovely wine reception, three-course lunch, and a program that featured everything from a guidework demonstration to a puppy delivery. All of our guests enjoyed the puppy love, and left feeling very inspired, thanks to our keynote speaker, Jake Olson with his guide dog Quebec. Jake's speech was so well-received (he brought the crowd to their feet for a standing ovation), that we thought we'd share his remarks with you here. Jake is introduced by the event emcee, CBS-5 News Anchor Ken Bastida. Enjoy - and happy holidays from all of us here at Guide Dogs for the Blind!

Fluffy – the lizard pet

David Robson, a young man from Bridlington has an unusual pet with the common name Fluffy. Now you probably imagine a cute little dog but Fluffy is actually a five-stone lizard that and it runs, jumps and is able to infuse the hearts of other animals with fear.


As any regular pet Fluffy goes for walks and loves playing with his owners and other people. David admits that older persons love Fluffy the most.


Robsons take Fluffy the pet-lizard to festivals in order to collect for charities and usually David holds him around his chest.


“The people think I hold a small child and are asking me to see the baby” – says David.


Robsons have a lot of animals in their home. There are several dogs and cats and Fluffy gets really well with most of them. When Fluffy arrived at home about 5 years ago he was only about 3in long. The lizard is now 5ft long from head to tail and weight more than 5st.


When Robsons got their latest cat as a just one month old kitten it went missing. They thought he was lost forever but found the kitten curled up next to Fluffy in his tank. Fluffy generates a lot of warmth from his body and probably attracted the kitten.


The pet-lizard Fluffy was trained the same was dogs are. Fluffy let his owners know when he wants to be let out or is tired or hungry. David uses a leash to lead him for walks and Fluffy recognizes the time and happily runs to the front door (just like a normal dog). He also loves running around the garden. Fluffy also likes doing night-walks but is very careful and silent and doesn’t break anything or wake anybody. There was a funny time when the lizard loved to climb over David’s father legs, sit on his face and then fall asleep. But the lizard is too big for his dad to move and he’d be pinned to the sofa.
