June 22: Two new members of the pack

Introducing... soon-to-be baby Irwin! Normally this main photo goes to a cute dog photo, but we just had a 3D ultrasound done and here's a sneak peak into what will be bursting into the world in just a few months.

She'll (yes - she) grow up with a lot of animals around, just like a little Bindi Irwin (Steve Irwin's daughter... LOL).

Now back to the dogs! The morning walks are done, and we've just finished lunches. More walks to come this afternoon. Scroll down to read what your dog has been up to so far, and make sure you check out the group photo at the very end of the blog.

* The second new member of the pack I'd like to introduce is Tofu (pictured left on the chair). He's an adorable Boston-Bulldog puppy, and he's been bombing around the place with Bechler (Boston Terrier) and Muggles (Maltese puppy) all morning. He's also been playing with Danger (Maltese puppy), in a very cute chase/pounce game.

* Bechler (pictured above, giving Tofu a spank) has also been wrestling Abby (Corgi) and Heidi (shnoodle), and playing tug of war with LG (Yorkie).

* Muggles has a sweet little outfit on today. He's been a little play machine this morning, chasing Tonka (miniature dachshund) and Danger (Maltese puppy) and wrestling Tofu. LG and his brother Spike (Yorkie) have been chasing Heidi and Bechler around, and participating in the Bechler-Heidi-Jasper-Casper-chase pack.

* Tonka (miniature dachshund) and Marley (Havanese) spent the weekend with us. They had a blast chasing each other, and our two - Mika (chi) and Lexy (chi-Silky Terrier) around the on the carpets. They went for walks and got lots of attention...

* Buttons (cockapoo) has had a few bursts of energy today - first when Pat arrived (squealing and jumping up and down!), and then when I (Katya) arrived (more hopping - so sweet), and then at lunch time... She always makes us smile. :-)

* Yuki (Papillon) has been playing with Muggles and Marley this morning. He's just a pup still and he looooves to wrestle. Molly (Min Pin cross) has also been playing with Heidi and Ozzy (Min Pin) lots. Ozzy must be missing his girlfriend, Dawson, who's away on holiday right now... His new BFF replacement today is Muggles (see the photo right).

* We haven't seen Tui and Alley for a while (Yorkie-cross and Brussels). These two are totally inseparable. When one goes to get a drink, the other one follows. When one rests, the other rests. Talk about companions! Right now they're both mingling with the pack, just walking around with the other dogs.

* And here's another brother-sister combo we haven't seen for ages: Yogi and Abby (Corgis). Yogi has been playing with little Muggles, and Abby has been especially active, chasing Bechler around LOTS (the two of them pictured left).

* Jasper and Casper have zooming around with their girlfriend Heidi (shnoodle) all over the ramps. Jasper was very curious when he saw little Muggles (he's a tiny Maltese puppy) and has been chasing him around and playing really gently with him.

* Enid (Jack Russell) is always curious when there's a new dog around, and today she's quite fascinated with little Muggles. She went up for a sniff, and Muggles rebounded, trying to play with her!

* Gus (Yorkie-cross) has been playing with Tofu and Muggles, and keeps trying to get Sebastian (miniature poodle) to play with him. Sebastian and Gus have been mostly been playing chase, and also a little pounce/wrestle.

Did your dog eat lunch?

* Tonka ate.

* Buttons ate all.

* Yuki didn't eat breakfast, but ate at lunchtime.

* Casper ate all his kibble, but Jasper ate less than half.

* Mr Muggles ate.

* Ozzy ate about half his kibble (and a rope toy - pictured right).

* Danger ate.

* Gus wasn't hungry (ate none).

* Sebastian ate.

* Heidi ate.

* Tofu we are feeding dinner, so we'll update you tonight.

And here's the group photo from today:
