July 3: Cool dogs

Hurray for air conditioning! We just doubled up on our air con system and all those hot dogs are now cool... We still have to hook up the 2nd machine so it will be even better next week.

Don't get me wrong - loving the sunshine and warm weather. Keep it coming...

Check out Gus (American cocker spaniel) sitting on a perch in today's class photo, keeping an eye on the troops.

And this is what's been going on (oh, and to avoid confusion, we have a Frank and Frankie here today - they're not the same dog):

* Right this minute, Yuki (Papillon) is wrestling Maximus (Yorkie). He's been playing lots with Gus and Theodore (Yorkie), too. We took the ball away from Theodore so he'd play more with the other dogs, and he's chasing after Frankie (Boston Terrier) right now.

* Buttons (cockapoo) had a warm welcome when she arrived from her biggest fan: Lexy (chi-silky terrier). Buttons loves the cool air, but really doesn't like the new air conditioning unit. She did a wide walk manoevre around the humming, cold-blowing monster!

* Mika (chi) and Lexy have been playing with Wolfie (Papillon), Lola (Papillon) and Muggles (Maltese). There's Wolfie pictured left, waving "HI!" to his parents in California! He's boarding with us right now.

* It's great to see Chopper (chi-pom) again! He's been running around with his old buddies, Mika and Lexy, and is really curious about Jones and Danger, giving them sniffs and following them around.

* Muggles, Dawson (chihuahua) and Ozzy (Min Pin) have an adorable little pack going. They've also been playing with Mika and chasing big (in comparison) Gus around, which is quite hilarious. Gus & Ozzy pictured right.

* Jones (Bischon) loves wrestling with Muggles. She's also been going at it with Tonka (miniature dachshund) and Danger (Maltese). Danger has been pretty playful today, also playing chase with Theodore and Frank (both Yorkies). Tonka's twin, Dash, has been frolicking around with Muggles and Jones.

* Spike and LG have been chasing Frankie around and playing ball with Theodore and Lola (cockapoo). They made a new Yorkie buddy today called Frank (all three of them pictured left). Frank's been doing great - it's his second day so daycare's still new, and he's kinda timid, but he's been playing with Danger and he really likes Theodore (another Yorkie about his size).

* Tui and Alley were chasing Bobo (maltipoo) around a minute ago. Lola (cockapoo) has also been playing with Bobo, but more in a rough-and-tumble, wrestling and rolling around kinda way.

* Dawson ate all.
