June 8: Ruff life

Cute photo alert... Molly and Dawson on the ATTACK!



















Hope you all had a great weekend! We took our dogs, and Frankie - who we were boarding - for a long walk around Stanley Park on Saturday.
This weekend coming? Camping! Our chihuahuas can pretend their wild dogs and run through the woods, kicking up dirt and chasing sticks. Can't wait.
The temperature has cooled off a bit today but at least it's not raining. The morning walks are done and the pups are just finishing their lunches. We'll do some more walks around 2 p.m. Here's what's been going on so far:
* Frankie (Boston Terrier-cross) was thrilled to see his parents this morning when they came back, all tanned and newly married, from their trip to Hawaii. Hope to see ya soon, Frankie!
* Buttons (cockapoo) has been chilling with Sebastian (miniature poodle) on the blankets. She ate all of her lunch. Look at her sitting pretty in the group photo, with Sebastian directly behind her (to the left) and Gus with his tongue out to the right. :-)
* Molly (Min Pin cross) has been doing some high-energy wrestling with Dawson (chihuahua) and Ozzy (Min Pin). Love the action photos Nigel took. She's also been playing a lot with Gus (American cocker spaniel). Molly was really hungry for lunch.

* Gus unleashed his energy on the pack this morning, chasing his buddy Bechler (Boston Terrier) and playing tug-of-war with the rope toys. He's also been wrestling Molly and Ozzy, and just ate all of his lunch. That's him, pictured right. :-)

* Next I have to mention Bechler (Boston Terrier, pictured left), who's been inseparable from Gus all morning. He's also been chasing Spike and LG.

* Jasper and Casper have been burning around the daycare this morning, chasing Heidi (shnoodle) super fast. Spike, LG and Pepe also joined in on the chase game, all over the back ramps. Looks like today is bath day for the boys. Nigel will have them sparkling white. They don't have any kibble left here so we didn't feed them lunch.
* Dawson (chihuahua) was really hungry today and gobbled up all her food. She's been playing with her best buds, Molly (Min Pin cross), Ozzy (Min Pin) and Mika (chi), and was giving Emma (miniature dachshund) kisses on their walk. Love the action shots of her and Molly.

* Spike and LG have been chasing Gus, Bechler, Heidi, Jasper and Casper all around the daycare. LG has been especially rambunctious, playing tug of war and wrestling Bechler and Gus.

* Emma (miniature dachshund) has a sore back so unfortunately she can't be in the big room with all the other dogs. She looooves her toys but has to take it easy right now, so we've been paying her visits and right now she's lounging on the dog bed. Pat too her for a really light, easy walk with Dawson (tiny chihuahua puppy) - and they were giving each other kisses!

* Boy, all the dogs were really hungry today for lunch. Everyone ate, which is kind of unusual. Ozzy (Min Pin) just ate quite a lot of his kibble, after spending the morning wrestling his GFs Molly and Dawson, and teasing Gus with a run/chase/pounce routine.

* Pepe (Havanese) was playing chase this morning with Spike, LG, Heidi, Jasper and Casper all around the back room. Other than that burst of energy, he's been pretty laidback, hanging out with the pack.

* Sebastian (miniature poodle) has a new companion - Gus! The two of them were playing this morning. Right now he's relaxing next to Buttons on the blanket, and he ate half of his lunch.

* Heidi (shnoodle) has lots of energy and has been running around with the pack, playing chase with Jasper and Casper (Coton du Tulear), and wrestling Bechler (Boston Terrier). I'm just about to take her out for a walk with Mika and Lexy, who've just arrived.
