July 7: Na, na, na, na, na...

Look at Muggles (Maltese), sticking his tongue out at Dawson (chi). "Come and geeeeet me!" Jude (puggle) was also playing, until he saw the camera. Love it!

It's a rainy, grey day out there, but we're optimistic it will clear up by the weekend. Not that the dogs care - they have fun, no matter what. The morning walks are done, lunches are fed, and it's PLAYTIME! This is what's been going on:

*Jones (Bischon) is boarding with us right now. She's been a really good girl, playing with our dogs, doing lots of running around here, and sleeping quietly at night. Mom and dad, if you're reading this from Vegas, nothing to worry about - she's eating well and getting lots of exercise! Today she's been frolicking around with Danger (Maltese) puppy and Bobo (maltipoo) - the three little white dogs rolling around in a ball of white fur.

* Rico (pug-Havanese) has been on a wrestling mission, tackling his buddy Marley (Havanese) and Chico (chihuahua). He's also been playing lots with Yuki (Papillon). Yuki's a little lady's dog, getting kisses from Muggles. That's Rico and Jude pictured left. Does Rico look guilty of something?

* Marley had a burst of energy this morning and was zooming all over the place with Rico, Spike (Yorkie) and LG (Yorkie-cross). She's actually conked out right now, re-energizing for her afternoon wrestle-sesh with Mika (chi), no doubt.

* Also playing in the Spike-LG-Marley pack are Molly and Winston (these two love each other), and the super-friendly Lola (cockapoo), who's been chasing after Winston, wrestling Rico and Bobo.

* Sasha (Papillon) has been chasing after the ball with Jude and Rico - go girl! And Rolo (pug) has been right in there, wrestling with Jude, Winston and Rico. Ahhh... an action-packed morning, for sure.

* Muggles, Dawson and Chico are a little pack of playthings, all under four pounds. They've all been playing together, but aren't afraid to play with the bigger dogs too (that's the benefit of socializing your pups while they're young).

* Muggles (pictured left) has been planting Winston (beagle-cross) with lots of kisses, and climbing all over Jude (same with Chico). Jude's also been wrestling with Molly (Min Pin-cross) and Winston. Ozzy (Min Pin) has also been running around with the small-dog pack. Check out the photo at the bottom of this blog of Winston, Molly and Lexy playing!

* Buttons (cockapoo) started screaming (with delight!) when I arrived... (it's Katya writing). I mean, she went berzerk! Talk about a grand entrance. Maybe she thought it was lunch time? Ha ha... we love ya, Buttons.

Did your dog eat?

* Jones ate breakfast.

* Buttons ate all her lunch.

* Yuki didn't eat breakfast but ate his kibble for lunch.

* Dawson ate all.

* Muggles ate lunch.

* Ozzy ate lunch.

* Danger ate all his lunch.

* Chico ate lunch.

* Lola ate all.

* Bobo ate all his lunch.
