June 12: Dogs = little comedians

Hello fellow dog lovers!

So here's the class photo of Friday, June 12. Nigel put a little hat on Jones, sitting in the chair... LOL. She doesn't even mind it. :-)

Pretty cute dogs in here today. I've been laughing a lot... So many of the littl'uns have been pairing up and doing these hilarious pounce/tail wag/chase routines. I wonder if they're learning some of the same moves from each other.

So all the dogs have had their morning walks. Scroll down to see what your dog has been up to:

* Bella (Maltese) has been playing with little Mika (chihuahua), doing this pounce/chase dance I was talking about earlier. It's funny because Mika is pretty picky about who she plays with - she likes the littl'uns who she knows won't beat her up. Wish I had a video of these two going at it.

* Lexy (Chihuahua/Silky Terrier) looooves Buttons (cockapoo). She prances up to her, her butt shaking so fast, and gives Buttons all these wet kisses on her nose. Buttons doesn't mind. Yesterday when I took them out for a potty break together, Buttons plopped down in the cool grass, and Lexy used the opportunity to race up to her and smother her with kisses. And the love continued today, when Buttons planted some kisses on Sebastian (miniature poodle).

* Scooby (American cocker spaniel - pictured left) was playing lots with Jones (Bischon) this morning. He got picked up early so we didn't have a chance to feed him lunch. But before he left, he also had a match of tug-of-war with LG (Yorkie-shih tzu).

* Both Spike (Yorkie) and LG have been chasing the ball and playing with Jones. Yesterday, Spike made a new buddy - Yuki. They had a hilarious game going of spinning in circles and then pouncing at each other. Now more on Jones (in the hat!). She has also been playing with Lexy, Bobo (maltipoo), Rico (pug-cross), and chasing Heidi (shnoodle).

* Speaking of Heidi, she loved her morning walk with Pat and Jones. When she came back, she started kissing Dawson, and right this minute is chasing Rico and Sebastian (miniature poodle) around the room. Sebastian has been really playful today, and all week, actually.

* Oh man, Tonka (miniature dachshund) hasn't been her for a while, but he's certainly making up for lost time. He loooooves Jones (Bischon) and has been doing this funny ramming game, running full-throttle into her, and then slamming into her with his back or his butt (not hard). That's one of the reasons I've been laughing so hard!

* Rico (pug-Havanese) has been playing gentle with little Dawson (chihuahua) and Ozzy (Min Pin). He's also been chasing after the ball, and wrestling Heidi (shnoodle) and Bobo (maltipoo). Bobo has been super cuddly with the humans, and blasting around the place with Heidi and Lexy.

* Dawson (chihuahua) is friends with everyone here. Little Miss Popular! Yesterday she was sitting on my lap next to Mika (chihuahua), licking her face. And today she cuddled up to Ozzy (Min Pin) chewing his ear. Ozzy made a beeline for her when he arrived, shuffling other dogs out of the way to play with her. Both Dawson and Ozzy have also been playing with Rico (pug-cross).

* Snoopy has been taking it easy. He's been slowing down on his walks but enjoys doing lots of sniffing the grass. He likes stretching out on the dog beds or in the cool caves in the back room to catch some zzzz's.

* Mico (shih tzu) had a cute burst of energy this morning when Pat was playing ball with the pack. She did a little excited pounce and chased after Scooby and the ball for a bit. She gets along great with everyone.

Did your dog eat lunch?

* Buttons ate all of her lunch.
* Bella wasn't hungry.

* Bobo ate a little bit.

* Dawson ate just over half of her food.

* Snoopy ate all of his weiners. Yum!

* Tonka ate.

* Tonka ate.

* Heidi ate all of her food.

* Sebastian ate all his kibble.

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! Nigel and I are heading off camping, with the dogs. Let's hope for some sunny weather...
