May 19: We're back!

Katya & Nigel are back from their trip and are both really happy to see the dogs!

So far this morning, everyone's been taking out for a morning walk, and we've just finished lunches. We'll do some more walks this afternoon (it's sunny!). Scroll down to read what your dog has been up to.

* Buttons (cockapoo) came flying through the doors, so excited to say hi. It's happy dogs like this that makes our job so fun. Pat took her for a walk with little Dawson, the chihuahua puppy, and they were a good match, trotting around. Buttons gobbled up her lunch in record time.

* Molly (Min Pin cross) also shot off like a bullet when she got here, so wriggly and excited to go play. She's been blasting around all morning, playing with Dawson the chihuahua puppy and wrestling Maggie (Cairns Terrier), and playing tug-of-war with Ozzy (Min Pin, also pictured left) and LG (Yorkie-shih tzu). She ate more than half of her lunch.

* Mika & Lexy (yes, our two), were really happy to be back at daycare and see all their friends after more than a week off. They've been playing with Maggie, Spike, LG, Dawson and Marley (Mika's BFF).

* Dawson, the 2 lb chihuahua puppy, went for her first walk today with Pat and Buttons. She did very well and walked for a while, and Pat carried her for the last leg of the journey. Dawson loves playing with Molly (Min Pin), Mika (chihuahua) and is being very brave, making lots of new friends! She ate her brekky and lunch.

* Marley has been tackling Spike & LG, wrestling and running around like a maniac this morning. She's taking a little breather right now!

* Spike & LG have also been playing non-stop. They were very curious with Dawson, the little chihuahua, and LG tried to play with her but she was a little timid of him. Even though he's a little guy, he must look like a giant to her. The boys have been wrestling Marley, and running around on the ramps, and chasing the ball.

* Maximus was a little nervous when he first arrived, but he gets along great with all the other dogs. Bailey (Yorkie-cross, pictured with Maximus to the left) loves him and started playing with him, and then Maximus joined a chase game with Jasper and Casper, bolting around like speed demons from room to room. He also really likes Maggie (Cairns Terrier).

* Bailey (Yorkie-chihuahua) was playing with Maximus this morning (see above for more) and Charlie's (Pom-chi) been chasing after the ball and barking at dogs to play with him. They always love their walks outside... and there's actually a bit of sunshine piercing through the skies. Yippee!

* Maggie (Cairns Terrier) is hilarious! She likes to roll on to her back to get dogs to play with her. That's her to the left wrestling with Lexy. She's also been playing with Molly (Min Pin).

* Jasper & Casper are full of beans today! They have been bombing it around from room to room, up the ramps, enticing other dogs to chase them in a pack. Zoomies!! They've been running around with Spike and LG, Maximus and Casper has been wrestling Molly. They ate all of their lunch.

* Max (Yorkie) just arrived and is saying his hellos to all his friends. He especially likes Molly (Min Pin) and Dawson (chihuahua) but he hasn't been here for a while so he's being a little shy. He'll warm up in no time. :-)

* Heidi loves to play tug-of-war, as you can see. She's got lots of energy this morning and has been chasing Ozzy, Molly, LG and ... well, everyone... around the room!

* Ozzy's best girlfriends, Heidi and Molly, are here today, so he's a happy dog. He grabbed one side of the rope toy, Molly grabbed the other side, and they started a game of tug-of-war, yanking each other here, there and everywhere... He ate all of his lunch.
