March 2026 - Lexie Rose

Lexie Rose is a female Vizsla, nearly 2 years old and has been using our dog daycare, puppy/senior dog walks, and on demand training while at daycare. Client has been using Fur-Get Me Not services since 2014 with beloved EverGreen who was also a Vizsla and May 2022 alumnus.

Words to live by: "It's Play Time - Be Happy"

The Vizsla Vibe: Vizslas are known for energy! What is Lexie’s absolute favorite thing to do when she arrives for her dog daycare days with us? I assume it's play with her daycare buddies and get love'n from the staff – as the 'Velcro' Vizsla she is..

Brainiacs & Training: We know she participates in On-Demand Training during daycare. What is the newest skill or biggest "lightbulb moment" she’s had with our training team recently? Recently, Lexie has had significant success with her "Stay" behavior. She's beginning to understand the cue in a variety of environments, and we're quickly building more duration and distractions!

Making Life Easier: Living in the busy Northern Virginia / DC metro area, how does having a reliable dog walker or daycare plan help your daily routine or give you peace of mind while you’re at work? OMG, it's huge! Having a reliable walk/daycare plan, training resource, and care provider to help support Lexie allows me to be fully present at work or running other required errands.

Quirks & Comedy: What is the funniest, most unique personality quirk Lexie has that makes you laugh every day? Honestly, and maybe because Lexie is still in her puppy years, it's her almost endless desire to play. Most evenings, when I'm ready to wind down, Lexie will pop up off the couch, bounce off the floor, and let me know she's ready for another round of play with a goofy face expression and funny voice (aka a bark). Absolutely hilarious.

The "Fur-Get Me Not" Factor: You have been part of our family for over a decade. What is the main reason you continue to choose our team for pet care over other options in the area? As we discussed earlier, the reliability and care of the staff and services exceed my expectations and help me provide a solid day-to-day, week-to-week routine to Lexie.

If Lexie could tell other dogs about her experience, what would she say? "Whoof, whoof" in her happy voice. Translation: I had a great day and look forward to my next visit!

February 2026 - Krieger

Krieger is a male German Shepherd who just turned 5 years old! Krieger has used our daycare, boarding and training services since 2021.

Words to live by: "Ball is Life!"

Favorite thing about our team? All the love shown for Krieger.

Favorite dog friend? Nacho (black-and-tan Basenji who doesn't attend daycare...)

Unique quirk? His German Shepherd head tilt and always wanting to join a conversation.

If your dog could talk, what would they say? That he loves all the love, snuggles, and scratches he gets from the crew but especially Mary. Thanks for not making him go down the stairs when it's time for a pee break.

Why did you choose our service? Great reviews and close proximity initially. Since joining, we love how friendly and helpful everyone is.

Anything else you would like to share? We greatly appreciate how attentive the staff are and quickly report any issues with Krieger. Thanks to the Fur-Get Me Not staff, we were alerted to a wound on Krieger's rear end where he had gnawed a spot raw and almost to bleeding.

January 2026 - Fern

Fern is a female beagle/shepherd mix who turning 5 years old in February! Fern has been using our daycare, boarding and training services since 2022.

Words to live by: "Snuggle hard, chase squirrels harder." Fern is happiest snuggled up with her favorite people, but once she's outside, every squirrel instantly becomes her top priority.

Favorite thing about our team? Fern loves how attentive and patient the team is with her. She soaks up the affection and attention, but they also understand when she needs a little space. They’ve gotten to know her so well over the years, supporting her through shy moments, celebrating her confidence as it’s grown, and loving her exactly as she is. It’s clear how much they care, especially when they have special nicknames just for her. She truly feels known and safe with the team.

Favorite dog friend? Fern loves all of her daycare friends and likes to match the play style of others, but she loves bossing around her best friend, Cassius, an Australian Shepherd she met at the dog park.

Unique quirk? One of Fern’s signature quirks is sleeping completely upside down, paws in the air with her lips flopped over, proudly showing off her most relaxed (and goofiest) face.

If your dog could talk, what would they say? “Thank you for being so patient with me and letting me warm up at my own pace. I will always make sure everyone is safe - especially when a new friend joins the team or if I spot something suspicious outside that clearly requires an alert. I love all the love, the understanding, and the respect you give me. This is my second home.”

Why did you choose our service? I chose this daycare because the team is friendly, patient, and truly attentive to Fern’s needs. They understand her personality, respect her boundaries, and celebrate her quirks, making it a second home where she feels safe and loved.

Anything else you would like to share? Fern is an incredibly smart, goofy, cuddly, and sensitive dog who loves affection and isn’t shy about barking at anything she sees as a potential threat.
