Aug. 14: High-energy Friday

They're certainly getting their exercise & stimulation today! Lots of chase games, running after the ball, and tug of war matches going on.

The morning walks are done and lunches being fed as I type this.

* Check out this photo of Bechler (Boston Terrier) leaping with the rope toy. RUUUNNNN!

* Leading the high-energy pack today are: Bechler, Heidi (shnoodle), Molly (Min Pin), Spike (Yorkie), LG (Yorkie cross), and Gus (American cocker spaniel). They've just been going, going, going... Running around, playing tug of war, zooming over the red ramps in the back, you name it.

* Saying that, a few of the other dogs have also been jumping into this fast-moving pack of fur for a little wrestle. Rico (pug-cross) has been playing with Heidi and Molly lots this morning, and Emmi (Italian Greyhound) has been chasing and pouncing all over Rico. Ozzy (Min Pin) has been jumping in now and again, too, wrestling with Gus and chasing Bechler.

* Also, Bobo (maltipoo) just arrived and is wiggling/running around with these guys. He's full of beans and soooo happy to be here, chasing his buddies around.

* Pictured left: Gus playing gentle with Ozzy.

* And then we have the Min Pin-chihuahua pack: Dawson (chi), Mika (chi), Ozzy, Henrik (chi) and Molly. Jones (Bischon) is also playing with these pups - especially Henrik. Pepe (Havanese), who I think is like a little teddy bear, likes to play with the littl'uns too, and really likes Jones.

* Pictured left: Rico & Emmi.

* Peanut (Min Pin) really likes Henrik, the chihuahua, and has been following him around and giving him lots of curious sniffs. A new buddy!

* Let's not forget the little, laidback angels. This includes Buttons (cockapoo) and Mico (shih tzu). They both received huge hellos from the other dogs when they arrived, and both enjoyed their walks. Buttons even walked a little longer than usual today - she must like the cooler temperatures. They both sat really well for the group photo today...

* ... But the winner of the group photo pose today was... Sebastian! Yep, the miniature poodle is getting so used to posing for the cameras, when he sees Nigel get the camera out, he hops out and sits down, posing perfectly, for the photo. Good boy. :-)

Did your dog eat?
