A clever pup named Jem was growing tired of waiting for a ride to her favorite doggy daycare. With her fur parents currently sleeping into the morning, Jem decided to take matters into her own hands!

Carriere was beginning his morning of work at the Happy Tails Pet Resort and Spa when he saw a bit of movement at the door. With it being 6:30 in the morning, he was not yet expecting any day care guests. After a few moments passed and the door had yet to open, he knew it was time to investigate.

“It was 6:30ish when I saw her nose poking through the gate there. Normally, I wait for the owners to come in with the dogs and see what happens but she was just poking around out there.” – Carriere

Once Carriere poked his head around the corner, he realized he had a solo canine visitor. Not only was this pup unaccompanied by a fur parent, but it was a doggy daycare regular!

“I was pretty shocked when I opened the door and there was a dog there — and one of our regulars, too. So I was like, ‘Come on in, Jem. Let’s play,’ I opened up the door and she ran right in — tail wagging and she was ready to go.” – Carriere

Jem made the early morning journey from her home to the doggy day care all by herself. After reaching out to Jem’s fur parents after her arrival, Carriere soon discovered that Jem had quite the eventful morning.

It appears that guests at Jem’s house the night before accidently left the backyard gate unhinged. When Jem stepped into the yard for her first outing of the day, she was then able to break free and go on a stroll.

 “I guess that morning she just couldn’t wait for Mom and Dad to get moving, so she came here herself.” – Carriere

Jem’s parents brought her home and offered her a big breakfast before heading back to the day care for a full day of play. Jem made it clear that she wanted to spend the day with her doggy friends, so her fur parents made sure she had a full belly to do so!
