Aug. 19: Puppy love

Here's Scruffles, sending you all cuddles... We've got a really fun pack in here today - lots of playful dogs, not overly hyper, mixing well together with little bouts of wrestling matches and chase games. Also, we've got a full staff: Nigel, Katya, Judy, Angie and Maori (grooming in the Spaw). Right now, Pat and Judy are chucking the ball, and you should see the pack chasing after it - Katie, Spike, LG, Molly, Gus and Gus (two Gus's), Lexy, Maggie, Casper... uh, pretty much everyone, actually. They're pretty noisy right now, barking EXCITEDLY! The morning walks are done and we've just finished lunches.

* Here's a photo to the left of a few of the Yorkies: LG, Max and Spike.

So here's just a taste of what's been going on (take note there are two Gus's - an American cocker spaniel and a Yorkie-cross): * Gus (cocker) has been playing lots with Molly (Min Pin cross), Scruffles (shih tzu cross) and Heidi (shnoodle). * Jasper and Casper have been wrestling Heidi and Spike and LG. Rico is part of this play-pack, too. * Pictured left: Gus and Molly playing with the rope toy.

* Casper and Maggie (Cairns Terrier) have been rolling around on the ground, wrestling, and chasing each other around. Oh, wait - now Casper and Rico are playing tag! * Tui and Alley have been a lot more playful these past couple of days (especially Tui) - chasing each other around and wrestling with Jones (Bischon) and Heidi. Sebastian (mini poodle) has been hanging around with Jones all morning. He loves her. * Then we have the Ozzy (Min Pin) - Molly - Jones - Oliver (chi) - Max (Yorkie) pack, who've been chasing each other around. Sasha (Papillon) just arrived and is following these guys around. * Molly had a good tug-of-war match with Gus (cocker). Scruffles and Gus (Yorkie) have also been chasing each other around. Gus (Yorkie) has been playing with pretty much everyone. * Sheraz (miniature shnauzer) and Tuka (American eskimo - pictured right) and Buttons (cockapoo) have been chilling out together. The sophisticated crowd. :-) * Katie (sheltie) is playing ball right now, but she's been doing lots of playing with Lexy (chi-silky), Jones and Heidi. Here's the class photo from today:
