Sept 28: Small dogs have big hearts

Poodle power! Here we have (from left to right): Nikko (miniature poodle), Heidi (shnauzer/poodle), Buttons (cockapoo) and Sebastian (mini poodle). All four are very lovable, affectionate dogs. We've got lots of tiny puppies in here today too, which are getting lots of attention on the walks. Pat was stopped twice this morning by strangers to ask: a) "Are those dogs for sale?" (Muggles & Zipper), and b) "Is that dog neutered? I'd like to breed him." (Theodore). Nope, and nope. Sorry! All the best-looking dogs come to Small Paws, that's for sure... * So right now, the pack of extra-small dogs are rumbling around on the dog beds and playing chase. This includes the Maltese puppies (Rupert, Muggles, Zipper & Sprokette), Dawson (chihuahua), Theodore (Yorkie), Umber (chi), and Mika (chi) and Lexy (chi-cross). * Pictured above left: Sheraz (miniature shnauzer). * Buttons is chilling out with Sheraz, Enid (Jack Russell), Sebastian and Talula. Talula made a new friend today - Pepe (Havanese) is really curious in her and has been tagging alongside her. Scroll down to the bottom of this blog for a cute pic of Pepe. * Pictured left: Enid in foreground, with Mika & Lexy curled up in the blankets in the background. * And then we have the high-energy crew, chasing each other around on the back ramps and playing tug of war with the rope toy. The main leaders in this pack are Bechler (Boston Terrier), Heidi and Nikko, but there are lots of other dogs jumping in and racing around with them. * Spike (Yorkie) has been playing with Pepe this morning, and LG has been chasing Bechler around. Jasper was running on the ramps after Bechler, and Casper was wrestling Heidi & Nikko at the same time. * Great to see Scooby (black American cocker spaniel) back again! We were hoping Dempster would come today so they could meet (he's a black Am'n cocker spaniel puppy). But no... next time. Scooby has been playing with Muggles this morning ... he seems to like the littl'uns best. * Pictured right: Scooby, Sheraz & Bechler. * Pictured left: Bechler with the rope toy, and Zipper in her adorable blue dress. * Pictured below right: Teddy's got the toy!
