Janet Naylor, founder and owner of Woof and Tumble, loves her job so much that she sometimes has a hard time parting with her borders. She says she loves each dog to pieces, something that owners appreciate.

Tails wag at Bear Prairie’s Woof and Tumble

Dog day care and boarding center "Woof and Tumble" will officially welcome its new groomer, Heather Fawver, during an open house on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The barbecue, for humans only, is an effort to thank existing and new clients as well as to showcase the business's facilities and the companies they work with. Janet Naylor started Woof and Tumble three years ago when she couldn’t find an adequate boarding facility in the area with reasonable prices. It was only after she looked into what went on at kennels and identified the qualities she figured were important that her husband advised her to, “Just go for it.” So, she became first-aid certified, set up the facilities and was open for business. "I wanted something rural, friendly, easy-going," said Naylor, who has found her home at last. She grew up in England and has lived in several different states across America. "I could never see myself moving anywhere else now." Woof and Tumble is located at 181 Mathews Road in Washougal.
