You guessed it - Wednesday is Spaw day! And we've got a full house in the back room for grooming again this week. Remember to call ahead if you want to book your dog in for grooming. We have a few spaces left for next Weds (June 10).
The morning walks have been done, lunches have been fed (16 lunches today - a new record!), and after I finish this blog I'll be taking the dogs out again. Love this weather! Any excuse to get outside...
So what has your littl'un been up to this morning? We should also explain that this is by no means a full list - just some highlights and observations that we jot down on a daily registration sheet each morning. Here's what we've got so far:
* It was super cute seeing Dawson (chihuahua) climb up to Ozzy (Min Pin)'s face when he arrived, putting her paws around his snout and giving him kisses. They're the best of friends. She just ate her lunch (polished off about half the tupperware container so far). She's also been playing with the yellow ball and getting Gus (American cocker spaniel) to chase her. Oh - and she did a #2 outside on her walk. Hurrah!
* Next is Ozzy, who I just mentioned above. He just arrived a few minutes ago and I tried feeding him but he was way too excited to eat lunch. We'll try him again in an hour or so. He's been blasting around with Molly and Dawson, and chasing Gus (Am'n cocker spaniel).
* I fed Buttons (cockapoo0) her lunch first (she gets soooo excited), and then when Pat was finished helping Maori in the back room, she came up to take over. Well, Buttons thought it was lunch time all over again and started squealing like crazy and tried to break into the feeding room. It was hilarious...
* Scooby has been playing lots with his blonde American cocker spaniel buddy, Gus. He just gobbled up his lunch. And he did a funny thing on his walk today - he was so interested in sniffing the ground, getting really into it while walking along, he head-butted a pole (walked straight into it!). It's okay Scoobs, we've all been there. :-)* Gus (Am'n cocker spaniel) is getting along great with Scooby (check out the photo to the left of the two of them together!). He's also been wrestling with Rico (pug-cross) and playing tug of war with Molly (Min Pin). He also loooooves little Dawson the chihuahua - they had a cute game of chase going on. Gus ate all of his lunch.
* Yuki (Papillon) wasn't hungry for breakfast so we just tried feeding him now and he ate his lunch. I think he's too excited in the morning to eat. He made a new friend today called Bella (Jack Russell-chihuahua) and the two of them have been playing like crazy. He's also been chasing/pouncing all over Rico (pug-cross).
* This leads me to Bella. She's only been to daycare a few times so she's still pretty new, but each time she gets more confident and makes more friends. Today she's especially been chumming up to Yuki (read above for more) and Lui Lui (also a Jack Russell-chi). She had a good appetite for lunch.
* Frankie (Boston Terrier) wasn't hungry for breakfast but we just tried feeding him at lunch and he gobbled it all up. He's been doing lots of running around and playing, and is very quiet and obedient at home.
* Brothers Jasper and Casper have been chasing Heidi (shnoodle) all over the ramps in the back room. They just ate all of their lunch. Casper's also been doing his spin/dance with Rico (pug cross). Jasper is going through a funny, timid stage of trying to get through his walks as quickly as possible - crouching really close to the ground, claws dug in, and pulling the leash. Not sure why he's doing this but we're hoping he'll grow out of it.
* Great to see Rico (pug-Havanese) again! He's been burning around the place with Gus (American cocker spaniel), playing chase and wrestling, and has been cuddling up to Yuki (Papillon puppy). He was in the Spaw for a few minutes getting his nails trimmed.
* Molly (Min Pin cross) has been chasing big Gus (well, big in comparison to her!), and tackling him with some pretty impressive moves. She's also been playing with Ozzy and Dawson and just ate her lunch.
* Spike and LG spent much of the morning getting bathed, and clipped, in the Spaw. They now look dashing and smell deeee-licious. Not good enough to eat though. They're out now, blasting around with the other dogs.
* Mika (Maltese) is getting more adventurous each time she visits. This time, she was running around on the back ramps with a bunch of the dogs. She's still pretty timid though and tends to stick with the calmer, smaller, more laidback dogs. She didn't eat her lunch.
* Tuka (American cocker spaniel) was right in the heart of the action again this morning, plopping himself down on the cool concrete and watching all the hyper dogs run circles around him!
* Lui Lui (Jack Russell-chi) has been hanging out with her mini-me, Bella. We haven't seen her do any playing yet this morning, but she tends to break out the dance and pounce moves in the afternoon. She wasn't interested in eating her kibble for lunch.
* Daisy (shih tzu puppy) was full of energy this morning, playing lots with Bella (chihuahua-cross) and chasing Sebastian (miniature poodle). Nigel has written on the sheet: "Very playful and friendly, lots of energy." Right now she's actually relaxing on a blanket, cuddled up to Sebastian. She wasn't hungry for lunch. * Mico (shih tzu) was very curious about Daisy, giving her sniffs. She was in the Spaw this morning, getting groomed, and now looks and smells fabulously. Right now she's mingling with all the dogs.
* Sebastian made a new friend today called Daisy (read above for more). I think he's in loooove. He's been chasing her around and right now they are cuddled up together on a blanket. He didn't eat his lunch.
* How do you like this photo of Heidi (shnoodle) and Molly? Hilarious! She also tackled Casper (Coton du Tulear) with an unsuspected pounce, knocking him to the ground. * And let's not forget Snoopy, who's in the Spaw right now getting groomed. He enjoyed his bath, just relaxing and enjoying getting pampered. We just fed him lunch - boy, oh boy, his meals sure make the other dogs jealous! He wasn't interested in it though.
And that's a wrap! Hope you have a great day. I'm heading outside ... "C'mon pups!"
