May 21: One big happy family

Happy (sunny) Thursday, everyone!

Looks like we're going to have a gorgeous weekend... anyone going camping? To the dog park? The sea wall?

Say hello to the new puppy here today, Yuki! He's a Papillon pup and is super friendly, playing with pretty much everyone...

The morning walks and lunches are done. We'll be doing more walks in the afternoon sun. Scroll down to see what your dog has been up to so far:

* Let's start with the new puppy, Yuki. He's a very friendly Papillon with lots of energy, ready to play, play, play... I hope Sasha, Wolfie and Lola (our other Papillons) get to meet him soon. Yuki's been wrestling with Bechler (Boston Terrier) and Jude (puggle), dogs much bigger than him. He also loves Umber, the little chihuahua puppy, Ozzy (Min Pin), and Sebastian (miniature poodle). Yuki's very popular! He ate all of his breakfast and we'll feed him his dinner at 5:30.

* Spike & LG started playing straight away with Marley, chasing her around and wrestling. They had a rousing game of fetch going on earlier, and LG looooves playing with his buddy Bechler (surprise, surprise!).

* Rolo (pug, pictured left with his tongue hanging out) is boarding with us right now and he was a very good boy last night at our place (sleepy after playing all day!) We're wearing him out again today - he's been zooming around non-stop with Jude (puggle) and Bechler (Boston Terrier), locked in a three-way wrestle match.

* Bechler's having a blast, as always. His best buddies are Rolo and Jude (read "Rolo" above for more). He also likes the new puppy, Yuki (Papillon).

* Same for Jude. Read "Rolo" above for more. The three dogs have been inseparable. Jude has also been playing with the new dog, Yuki.

* Buttons had a lovely, leisurely walk in the sun with Pat and Sebastian. Hurray - we're loving this sunshine. Time to break out the sun chairs and summer dresses... well, almost. Buttons ate all of her lunch and is chilling out in her favourite spot right now - on the shelf, on a blanket - watching the other pups run past.

* Marley's BFF, Mika the chihuahua, stayed home today for a snooze, but Marley hardly noticed. She's been buzzing around with Spike and LG, and chasing Jude (puggle). She's a little dog but she's not afraid to play with some of the bigger kids!

* Jasper and Casper have been very happy pups these past few days, whipping around the place and playing lots! Normally Casper is the more playful one but Jasper's been joining in more recently, too. They were both chasing and wrestling the new dog, Yuki, and Lui Lui (Jack Russell-chihuahua). We caught a video of it but I'm having trouble downloading it to the computer. Nigel? Help! The boys ate all their lunch.

* Lui Lui has come leaps and bounds (literally!) since starting at daycare. She used to bare her teeth and get really nervous around other dogs. You should see her today... we took a video but are having some technical difficulties. She's been playing with Jasper and Casper (read their blurb for more), was trying to get Umber (chihuahua) to play, and was chasing Bechler (Boston Terrier) around the room. Go Lui Lui!

* I remember when Umber (chihuahua puppy) first coming to daycare, it took her a few days to start playing with the other dogs. She was always confident around them, but it took a while before she started wanting to pounce and chase them. Now she's an old (but young) pro! She was very excited to come in, and loves playing with the new Papillon puppy, Yuki.

* Ozzy also loves the new pup, Yuki. They had a high-energy game of chase going on. He's also been playing with Rolo (pug). He ate most of his lunch.

* Sebastian ate a little of his lunch today. His best buddy of the day is Yuki, the new Papillon puppy. Sebastian is quite a bit taller than him so it's cute seeing them chase each other around and play.
