June 26: Happy Birthday Jude

Jude (puggle) turns one on Sunday so we threw him a birthday paw-ty! His mom bought him a cake from the dog bakery and he looooooved it. We made sure he shared with his friends though...

Happy Birthday Jude!

Morning walks are done and lunches fed. We'll do round of walks/potty breaks at around 2:30/3 p.m. Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this blog entry for today's fabulous group photo.

* So what's been going on? We'll start with the birthday boy. Jude has had a super day, playing with his friends, eating cake, wrestling with Tofu (Boston-Bulldog puppy). Tofu has also been playing lots with little Muggles (tiny Maltese puppy) and Umber (chihuahua). Check out the photo of him left, play-fighting with Muggles. Also, that's Jude and Muggles pictured right.

* Buttons (cockapoo) loves birthday parties, and especially loves the cake. She was right in there, waiting for her little slice, and of course singing Happy Birthday to Jude. Er, right - that I'd like to see.

* Bently (Yorkie) and Yuki (Papillon) have been joined at the hip this morning, chasing each other around. We haven't seen Bently here for a while and he sure is a happy, friendly little thing, going up to everyone!

* Bobo (maltipoo) was a very good boy for boarding last night, and has had a super time playing with all his friends yesterday and today. He likes chasing our dogs - Mika and Lexy - around on the carpets at home, too. Tui and Alley have been playing lots with Bobo today. They're getting really playful!

* Scooby (American cocker spaniel) has been playing with Jude and Spike (Yorkie) and LG (Yorkie-shih tzu). Spike and LG love birthday cake so much, in the group photo, they kept inching forward, trying to get closer to the goods. Enid (Jack Russell) was doing the same thing, and when the group photos were done, she was the first one to lunge for the cake!

* We'd like to introduce a new dog to the pack today: Frank (Yorkie-poo). It's his first day so he's a little timid, as expected, but he's in the small room with a few of the littl'uns right now. He feels more comfortable with the laidback dogs but definitely needs more socializing to gain his confidence around other dogs. He's mingling with little Muggles (Maltese), Umber (chi), Bently (Yorkie), Ozzy (Min Pin) and Danger (Maltese).

* Also, exciting news... Muggles is getting a little sister! His mom just bought a little companion for him (pictured right). Isn't she adorable?

* Umber, Muggles and Bently are chasing each other through the blue tunnel right now, wrestling. Umber's also been playing lots with Tofu and Jude. Make sure you scroll down to yesterday's blog entry for the BEST photo of her!

* How do you like this action shot (left) of Ozzy (Min Pin) playing with Maximus (Yorkie)? Maximus is always a happy ball of energy, and has been having lots of fun with Tofu and Heidi (shnoodle) today too.

* Danger's been doing lots of playing with Umber, Heidi's been wrestling Maximus, Sebastian's been playing with Maximus and Yuki... play, play, play...

Did your dog eat lunch?

* Yuki didn't eat breakfast, but worked up an appetite while playing and gobbled up his kibble for lunch.

* Scooby ate all his lunch.

* Buttons ate all.

* Bobo ate lunch.

* Muggles ate.

* Tofu ate all his breakfast. We'll feed him again at dinner time.

* Ozzy ate lunch.

* Danger ate a little lunch.

* Heidi ate all.

* Sebastian ate all.

And here's all Jude's Birthday Paw-ty friends!
