Aug. 25: Bye bye camera

Yet another camera has been added to the camera graveyard. We need dog-proof, water-proof and bullet-proof technology around here! Sorry, but there are only a couple of photos today, before the camera conked out. Also, it may take us a few days to shop around for a new digital camera, so hang tight.

As for today, the morning walks are done, lunches are fed, and the pups are playing chase right now.

* This morning, Sofie (Yorkie, pictured left with Jones) had a blast wrestling with Jones (Bischon) and Dempster (American cocker spaniel). Dempster has been getting along great with all the dogs. He especially loves Molly (Min Pin cross).

* Molly has also been playing with Dawson (chi) ... and pretty much everyone, actually.

* Marley (Havanese) immediately hooked up with her buds Spike, LG, Jones, Mika and Lexy for a blast around the room! Jasper and Casper joined in, and started frolicking around with Sofie and Jones. One big ball of fun.

* Pictured left: Molly playing tug of war with Dempster.

* Sebastian (miniature poodle) has been Mr. Playful this morning, chasing Dawson and Dempster around.

* Maximus (Yorkie) has been chasing after the ball with the pack (often the first to get to it first!). He's also been playing with Jones. And who else has been playing lots with Jones? Sasha! The Papillon has been super playful this week, really coming out of her shell. She loves Jones and Sofie.

* I would love to tell you that Buttons had a playing spurt today, but she's doing her usual sophisticated, laidback cruise around the pack. Dogs run up to her and give her kisses (Lexy and LG loooove her). She's kind of like the Queen of Small Paws!

Did your dog eat lunch?

* Buttons ate all.

* Dawson ate all.

* Jasper and Casper ate all.

* Dempster ate all.

* Sebastian ate half.

* Maximus ate all.
