Sept. 1: Cheers, big ears :-)

My, what big ears you have, Dempster!

This photo just makes us chuckle... he looks adorable.

* Dempster's a super playful American cocker spaniel puppy. He made a new buddy today called Gus (Yorkie-cross). The two of them have been chasing tails all morning.

* Gus has also been playing with Marley (Havanese); Marley loves Jones (Bischon) and Mika (chi) also.

* Oh, you should see Mika and Dawson (chi) going at it today. They're both tiny chihuahuas and have this similar dance/tail wag/chase game going on. They run from one room to the other, crouch down and pounce at each other. Very entertaining.

* Molly (Min Pin cross) and Lexy (chi-silky) joined in on the Mika/Dawson chase game, too. Molly's also been wrestling Jude (puggle)... Dawson looooves Jude, too.

* Pictured left: Mika, Dawson & Lexy.

* Casper has been very playful today and full of beans, giving Scruffles kisses and chasing her around the room (girlfriend/boyfriend?) Unfortunately, Jasper's not feeling too hot, and is kinda lying low today. He didn't eat any lunch (Casper ate though).

* Buttons (cockapoo) has been roaming around with the pack. Right now she's one of the few dogs NOT trying to steal Pat's lunch of tuna salad. Ha ha! She's sitting politely and watching all the little beggers giving Pat their cutest puppy dog eyes.

* Scruffles has been wrestling with Gus (pictured left) and playing with Casper (as mentioned above).

* Spike and LG have been playing with Marley (surprise, surprise!). Marley's been on holidays, so they're catching up on lost time. Sebastian (miniature poodle) has also been cuddling up to Marley, and playing chase with Scruffles.

* Sasha (Papillon) just arrived and is squirming around, tail wagging her entire behind excitedly, saying hello to everyone.

* Enid's been pretty laidback today, just mingling with the dogs, and right now resting on her pillow. She loved her walk outside.

* Cute photo alert: Check out Molly and Dawson playing!

We'll be doing more walks and potty breaks at around 3 p.m.

Did your dog eat?

* Molly ate all her breakfast.

* Buttons ate all her lunch.

* Casper ate his lunch, but Jasper wasn't hungry.

* Dawson ate all her lunch.

* Scruffles wasn't hungry.

* Dempster ate all his lunch.

And here's today's class photo, taken at around 11 a.m.:
