• Day Care : Have no one to doggy sit your dog for the day? Well that’s not a problem any more. Here at Playful Paws, we’ll take in your pet for while you’re away. We’ll make extra sure that your dog has all it needs to have a tail wagging good time. There are loads of doggy toys as well as plenty of other dogs that are here looking for a friend to play with. Our daycare staff are pros at frisby throwing, tug o’ war pulling, squeak toy squeaking, and more! We have more than enough room for some good ol’ romping in the grass.  Even if your pooch is a bit shy around other dogs, that’s no problem. We have special one on one time for your dog as well.
• Boarding: Planing a vacation soon and don’t want to leave your pooch at home all alone? Have him/her come spend a few nights with us. We just love sleep overs and we know that your pooch will as well.
• Dog Grooming : We know that everyone love a little pampering, and the same goes for your dog.  With our experienced staff, we provide nothing but the best and safe grooming experience for your dog. We provide nail clipping, coat brushing, fur cutting, coat cleaning, and more. We love our earth and take our part in keeping it healthy by using nothing but Eco friendly cleaning products. Your dog will feel a new spring in their paws once their done with their grooming.
• Dog Walking : Dog walking might not seem like such a big deal to people, but for the dogs its one of the best times of the day. Here at Playful Paws, we enjoy walking dogs so much that we have picked out some of the best walking locations in town. Does your dog like trees? We found the perfect walking path that has plenty of trees to sniff at. Or maybe you dog enjoys a city stroll. That is no problem for us.  We found some very lovely city blocks that are doggy walking friendly.
• Dog Training: Its a tough job trying to train your dog all by yourself…

Playful Paws started out as a simple idea…

Create a place that is not only enjoyable for dogs but for their owners as well. At one time Playful Paws was only but a tiny dog house that didn’t quite fit its every growing friendship among the doggy populous. The pups and dogs demanded, “We want more space to romp and play with friends. Oh! And we also want a pool for splashing in during the dog days of summer! It would also be nice if we could get cleaned up so that we smell and look wonderful for our owners.” We listened to our furry friends growing list of request and happily replied, “That all sounds like a dog gone good idea!” So here we are today, a newer, bigger dog house with 2 acres of lush green grass, it very own doggy pool, and a most delightful doggy grooming and bath house.  Now, not only are the puppies and doggies very happy, so are their owners.

Creator and Owner of Playful Paws

Megan Martel’s love for animal started when, at the age of 6,  got her first puppy and  that was love at first sight.  Ever since then Megan has enjoyed working with different animals, but her canine companions always stayed near and dear to her heart. When Megan reached 24, she realized it was due time that she made a place where people could bring their dogs to have all sorts of fun. Megan gathered some of the most experienced dog groomers, trainers, and walkers to create an excellent staff. Not only do most of them have 30 years of experience in their fields, they are also all very loving and devoted to their dogie companions.

Testimonial

Pam Penbrook of Chicago say:

I’ve taken my dog Max to many different Dog grooming places and never found quite the right place to return to.  When I found out about Playful Paws, I just had to check it out. Its all that people say that it is. Its a great place and my dog can’t get enough of it! Max just love playing in the Playful Paws doggy pool.

Bill Bob of  Wisconson says:

My dog, Jack , is very picky about where it wants to be walked. At Playful Paws, it seems like they know all the hot dog walking spots in the area. Now my dog wont stop bugging me to take it back to Playful Paws for a walk.

Jack of Evergreen Park say:

Goldie and I love going to the different doggy events. This year we are going to attend the Howl-aween costume bash! I can’t wait! When I’m at school and my parents are at work, I want my dog to have as much fun with its other dog friends as possible my family is busy.

Now that I found that New York Times addressed this topic quite well, I wanted to see how out friends down at CNN addressed the topic. It was easy to find the article that I was looking for, but what I found was shocking and a tad bit confusing. Both the New York Times and CNN have the same exact article. Word for word, the two articles matched up perfectly. That’s odd.. I would think that the two apposing news providers would have two different journalist to cover the same story to get a variation on the subject. Just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, I surfed on over to Yahoo and typed in “2012″ and just like before I found it quite easy. But whats this? The article is the same exact one, word for word, as the other two sites. Now I was getting more annoyed. Wheres the originality? What happened to plagiarism? Maybe I’m just being stupid and don’t realize that the same journalist works for not the just the New York times, but also for CNN and Yahoo.

The other thing I noticed was the lack in providing the writer’s name. The only site that provided one was Yahoo. Thank goodness one of them gave me a name to connect the story’s writer to.

I’m not too sure if I’m just going about this wrong or if I was correct for thinking that this is all a bit odd that all three articles are identical.  Hopefully some one can shed some light on this for me before I yank my hair out.
