Aug. 4: Welcoming back Sebastian and Marley

Hurray... Sebastian (miniature poodle) and Marley (Havanese) are back from summer holidays - we missed you pups!

That's Marley at the left and Sebastian with the ball in his mouth. They're both happy to be back, too... catching up with all their furry friends.

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's kinda nice having a cooler day today. It's sure been HOT.

So the morning walks are done and lunches fed. We have a smaller group here this morning but they're still full of beans.

* Marley has been making up for lost time by chasing her buddies Spike (Yorkie) and LG (Yorkie-shih tzu) around the room super fast, and wrestling LG. Spike has also been playing with Lexy (chi-silky terrier). And LG has a girrrrl-friend. He's been following little Zipper (Maltese) around all morning.

* I LOVE little Zipper's outfit again today. She and her brother Muggles just have the cutest clothes, and I don't think I've seen the same thing twice yet. I'd better start digging out Mika's clothes. One of my favourite outfits of hers is this cute dress/denim skirt combo that Marley's parents gave us.

* Pictured left: Rico cuddling up to Zipper. Rico (pug-cross) has been wrestling with Bobo (maltipoo) and playing tug of war with Ozzy (Min Pin) and Muggles (Maltese). Ozzy's also been playing with Zipper, and Bobo has been having a wrestle-fest with Marley and bombing around the place with Rico.

* Sebastian seems really happy to be back. He's had lots of energy and has been playing with his new buddy, Muggles.

* Buttons (cockapoo) and Maximus (terrier) have been chilling out together, and with the pack. They're both laidback and so well behaved. Maximus loved his walk with Pat and Buttons (his tail was wagging like crazy). Buttons liked the walk too, especially since it's not as hot as last week.

As you all know, Nigel and I are expecting a baby girl in October. We've just set up a new blog to keep our friends & family overseas updated on the latest news.

Did your dog eat?

* Buttons ate all her lunch.

* Muggles and Zipper both ate their lunches.

* Ozzy ate a little.

* Bobo ate most of his kibble.

* Sebastian wasn't hungry.
