 Here are some of the adorable Birthday pups for September!  I included two "out-takes" because they were too silly to resist!



The spunky Zoe Hart is turning 2 years old this month!



Here is Zoe's "out-take": getting your picture taken is boring... yaaawwnn.



Beau, the regal Standard Poodle, is turning 4 years old!



Acis the English Lab is also turning 4 years old this month.  Just look at those puppy-dog eyes!

That's it for now, check back for more! :)

Our team here at Fetch Doggie Daycare recently got the chance to meet with the wonderful people of Yeller Cab, a pet taxi service for the Portland area.  We wanted to see for ourselves what their pet taxi is like and learn a bit more about what they do.  With their awesome 2009 Nissan Cube parked right in front of Fetch, we got to see inside the cab and meet some of their representatives.  


They have turned this cab into the most efficient and comfortable pet transport system we've ever seen here in Portland - and their founder, Nancy, is still brimming with ideas to make it even more dogtastic!  Talking with Nancy and her team, it was apparent that these people are more than just amazing entrepreneurs - they are devoted dog-lovers.  We can confidently recommend their services to anyone who needs help getting their dog to vet, airport, groomer, or - ahem - doggie daycare.  

Learn more about our new friends at Yeller Cab at www.yellercab.com, and be sure to check them out on Facebook!
