Kelly is the big golden beauty who is always filled with love and cuddles, while her smaller, wilder counterpart is always out adventuring. You can find Pene in her own little version of “Indiana Jones” running through the yard, hiding and stalking her prey… tiny mangos. While Kelly is busy making sure she gets a good helping of petting and love from us. Although these two are ying and yang they complement eachother wonderfully and always leave us smiling. 22 Apr 09 New Client Section category: Chit Chat no comments We are in the works of developing a client area within our blog to feature some of our wonderful clients.  If you would like your pet to be featured in this area please email us at info@grovepetservice.com with some cool pictures of your pet. 13 Apr 09 Blanche Dog Doody Park category: Chit Chat no comments The days of quality free poopy pick-up bags at Blanche Dog Park are over. If you’ve visited the park in the past few days you may have noticed the lack of poopy pick-up bags and the excess of dog poop on the ground. Apparently the city is changing the bags they use at the park from the nice, thick bags that can be used for doodies of all sizes to smaller, thinner less costly bags. Unfortunately when the city worker came to refill dispensers earlier today he realized that the new bags do not fit the dispensers so it looks like there won’t be any bags there until thats sorted out. So if you are planning a trip out to Blanche dog park remember to B.Y.O.P.B. 12 Apr 09 2009 Bark at the Park category: Miami Events no comments For anyone that has seen “Marley & Me” you’ll recall the “Bark at the Park” scene with Marley and Owen Wilson.
