May 1: WWF wrestling matches

We've got a high-energy pack in here today!

At the moment, we have the dogs split into two rooms, with the more rambunctious small dogs in the bigger room, playing chase and wrestle.

In the smaller room, we have two new members of the pack: Kujo, a very sweet chihuahua, and Dawson, a three-month-old chihuahua puppy. Also in there keeping them company are Molly the Min Pin-cross, Ozzy the Min Pin, Mika the chihuahua and Lexy the chihuahua-cross.

All the morning walks are done and we'll take the dogs out again at around 2:30. The sun's-a-shining, so we've got to take advantage of that (and try to tire the pups out a bit more... LOL).

We've got lots of great pix today, so I'll try to integrate them into this blurb. Scroll down to see what your pup has been up to today:

* We'll start with the new chihuahua puppy, Dawson, who is tiny and absolutely adorable! She is very friendly with humans and loves to play with the other dogs. Check out this photo of her and Ozzy the Min Pin. She ate a little bit of lunch.

* Next is Kujo, another new chihuahua, who is having his first day at daycare today. He really likes the little chihuahua, Dawson, who keeps trying to hop up and play with him. He did a little whimpering this morning but has been wrestling with Cassie (Bichon-cross) and Gus (American Cocker Spaniel).

* Gus (American cocker spaniel) is also new (this is his second day!). He's super friendly and has been chasing tail with Winston (beagle-cross), Jude (puggle), Bechler (Boston Terrier), Rolo (pug), Scooby (American cocker spaniel) Spike (Yorkie) and LG (Yorkie-shih tzu). He's part of the high-energy pack in the big room that's been bombing around all morning playing chase, wrestle and tug-of-war.

* Jude (puggle) is part of the WWF pack, playing with all the bigger small dogs (read "Gus" for more). He also likes wrestling Molly, the Min Pin.

* Bechler (Boston Terrier) is - surprise, surprise - also one of the main leaders in the playful WWF pack (read "Gus" for the lowdown). He also likes playing with Molly, the Min Pin, and looooooves Snoopy.

* Scooby (Amerian cocker spaniel) is also part of the WWF pack (read "Gus" for more). He's been extremely playful today and ate all of his lunch.

* Rolo arrived just after lunch time and injected new life into the almost-energy-fading pack in the big room. They've been playing chase, going nuts, having a blast! LOL. He especially loooooves Jude (puggle).

* Spike & LG were super happy to be back at daycare today! They've got lots of energy and have been playing, playing, playing non-stop all morning. They've been part of the WWF and running pack (see "Gus" above for more).

* Tonka (miniature dachshound) is in with the "big" dogs right now. He had a blast with Sasha yesterday and his best girlfriend today is Cassie. He ate all his lunch.

* Winston (beagle-cross) is also in the WWF wrestling pack. His best buds today are Bechler, Molly and LG. He's been doing lots of running around and should be ready for a dog-nap soon! I'd say the whole wrestling pack will be droopy-eyed by around 3 p.m.

* Jones (Bichon) has formed a little play-pack with Cassie (Bichon-cross), Heidi (shnoodle), Bobo (maltipoo) and Molly (Min Pin-cross). She's as wriggly and playful as ever!

* Cassie (Bichon-cross) has been playing with pretty much everyone... She wrestled with the new chihuahua, Kujo, took on Jones, and has been playing with Molly and Bechler. She ate most of her lunch.

* Bobo (maltipoo) is is part of the Jones-Cassie pack (the three little fluffy white dogs!). He especially loves wrestling with Cassie. He ate all of his lunch.

* At this very moment, Ozzy (Min Pin) has a squeaky toy in his mouth, and Molly and the new chihuahua are chasing after him super-fast around the small room. It's so cute seeing the littl'uns play together. Kujo is right in there, too. He ate all his lunch.

* Molly (Min Pin cross) is Ms. Playful, always eager to play chase or wrestle, and not afraid to take on the big kids. She's playing chase right now (see "Ozzy" above for more) and was playing with Bechler (Boston Terrier), Jude (puggle) and Jones (Bichon) earlier in the big room. She ate a little of her lunch.

* Heidi (shnoodle) is in the big room, playing lots with Heidi and everyone in the Jones-Cassie pack (read "Jones" for more). She's also been wrestling Ozzy and Sebastian. At lunch time, she just kept trying to get into the big room to play, and didn't want to eat her lunch.

* Sebastian is a little lady's (dog's) man today, wrestling it up with Heidi and Cassie. He's in the big room, trucking around with all the big kids, having a blast. He wasn't hungry for lunch.

* Snoopy arrived at around lunch time to much doggie fanfare, as always. He's chilling out on the dog bed right now, avoiding the commotion of the other dogs.

* Henrik the chihuahua arrived later in the afternoon and has joined the little dogs in the small room. He looooves playing with Dawson and has been wrestling and chasing her all over! He also likes Mika and Molly. So cute...

* Mika and Lexy - yes, our two - are in the small room, playing with the new chihuahua, chasing after the toys.

So that's everyone! 21 dogs today, divided into two rooms. Hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend. :-)
