June 2: Birthday paw-ty for Charlie!

Happy Birthday Charlie!
As you can see, he loved his birthday cake from the dog bakery... mmm... "Thanks mum!"
Boy, it's hot out there. We have to be careful on the walks that the dogs don't overheat. It's nice and cool in here though, with the fans and air-con cranked.
So what's your dog been up to?
* Let's start with Charlie (shih tzu), who is celebrating his birthday with all of his friends. He loved his cake and has been playing games and sat nicely for the group photo. Scroll down to the bottom of the blog to see the group photo of him with all his friends! We have burned a CD with all the photos of him at the Paw-ty for his family to get a chuckle out of...
* Scooby (American cocker spaniel) has been playing tug of war with Molly and chasing Bobo (maltipoo) and Frankie (Boston Terrier). He ate all of his lunch.
* Yuki (Papillon) was thrilled to see Umber (chihuahua). Pat was holding Umber to greet her hello, and Yuki sat at Pat's feet, waiting and staring up, pleading "Let her down! I want to play!" And then they were off... wrestling and chasing each other around. He's also been playing with Maggie (toy poodle), who he hasn't met before. Yuki wasn't hungry for breakfast but just ate now (lunch).
* This leads us to Umber, who's been pouncing on Yuki (see above for more) and playing with Oliver (chihuahua) and Maggie (toy poodle). She likes wrestling with the littl'uns. That's Yuki and Umber playing in the photo to the left.
* Maggie (toy poodle) has also been part of the Yuki-Umber pack this morning (read above two blurbs). She ate a little bit of her lunch.
* Buttons (cockapoo) loooooved the doggie birthday cake. We only divvy out small pieces, so don't worry - it wasn't a calorie binge! She also ate all of her lunch. Pat took her out for her morning walk quite early, before it got hot, so did get some exercise. The afternoon walks will be quite short (too hot for the pups!).
* Frankie (Boston Terrier) has been playing with Scooby, and just running around with the pack. He's having a fun time with all the dogs, and getting lots of exercise. Nigel gave him a bath yesterday so now he smells like green apple. Ahhh...
* Marley (Havanese) was blasting around the daycare this morning at full speed, chasing Winston (beagle-cross) and wrestling Molly (Min Pin cross), not to mention best buddies Spike and LG! Her BFF Mika is coming down in an hour too.
* Spike and LG have been playing tag-team with Winston (beagle-cross), playing chase and diving head-first into the dog beds for hyperactive wrestle matches. Marley's been joining in, too, so they have this big pack of brown and white fur flying fast...
* Jude's (puggle) girlfriend is here - Yep, you guessed it: Molly (Min Pin-cross)! Jude must be at least six times her size, so it's cute to see them two of them wrestle. He's really gentle with her - and all the other dogs. He's also been playing with Winston and Scooby. Jude ate all of his breakfast.
* Winston's best buds are Spike and LG (read their blurb for more), Jude and Marley (read her blurb above). He's been having a great day, wrestling and playing chase super fast.
* Molly (Min Pin cross) has been burning around the place with everyone. Seriously. She's been wrestling Jude, Ozzy, Milky, Maggie (Cairns Terrier), Scooby... um, everyone. She always has a super time here! She was hungry for lunch, too.
* We have two Maggie's here today. Now I'm going to write about Maggie the Cairns Terrier. She's been having a fun day with her friends at the birthday paw-ty. Maybe it reminds her of her 2nd birthday just a couple months ago. Her best friend today is Molly the Min Pin cross - they've been wrestling lots this morning.
* Ozzy (Min Pin) is missing his buddy Dawson. "Dawson, where for 'art thou?" Well don't worry - he's making due, playing wrestle with Molly (pictured left). He just ate his lunch.
* Milky (Bischon/poodle) has been a blur of white fur, bombing around with two of her white puppy friends - Bobo (maltipoo) and Sebastian (miniature poodle). She's also been wrestling lots with Molly, and ate all of her lunch.
* Enid was hilarious on her walk this morning. Not only did she crawl under the bush to cool down, but she was rolling around in the grass under there. That was before it got too hot out, but we all know dogs love the cool ground. She's been running around with the pack and right now is chilling in the orange bed, watching the Small Paws Daycare Show.
* Oliver (chihuahua) is getting so much braver. We're so proud of him. He's been playing with Maggie (toy poodle) and Umber (chihuahua). He looks a lot like our dog, Lexy (chihuahua-Silky Terrier cross), and turns out the two of them are becoming quite good buddies, too. Yay.
* Sebastian was sooooo happy to see his girlfriend, Milky here. Seriously, he springs to life when she comes through the yellow gates. They've been pouncing around and having the best of times. He wasn't hungry for lunch.
* Bobo (maltipoo) has been part of the Milky-Sebastian pack, blasting around with his friends. He was also chasing Scooby (American cocker spaniel) and it was cute to see him give Milky a loving face wash... :-) He ate most of his lunch.
* Kujo (chihuahua) just arrived for an afternoon of playtime. He was super cute when he came in the door, all squirmy and excited. He's pretty confident, running around right now saying hello to all the dogs. Umber (chihuahua) is really curious and following him around, as is Maggie (Cairns Terrier) and Oliver (chi).
