Sept. 9: It's raining dogs

Say hello to the new Maltese puppy, Rocco! Isn't he sweet? He has an appointment for the Spaw today to get handsome-ified.

Rocco's the new brother of Bella (Maltese). Here's an "after" shot of Rocco, to the right, after his groom.

We sure have a lot of Maltese puppies in here today: Rocco, Rupert, Muggles, Zipper & Sprokette! All of them are probably under five pounds and little balls of white fur. They've got a playful little pack going on.

It's been raining on and off all morning, so the walks were a little soggy, to say the least. Thank goodness for indoor dog daycares - everyone's nice and dry inside.

* Bella (chi-Jack Russell cross), is a feisty little thing. She definitely picks her doggie friends around here, and today her little buddy is Rocco. She also likes Enid (and vice versa!).

* Enid's a Jack Russell. This is a funny pic to the left of Angie holding Enid. Enid looooves Angie and keeps jumping on her lap to give her kisses!

* It's Rupert and Talula's second day of daycare. Rupert is having a blast, especially with Rocco, and Talula is getting more confident. She's been going up to other dogs and sniffing hello.

* Rico (pug cross) has been playing chase with Gus (American cocker spaniel), Jasper & Casper. They've been running fast, all over the red ramps in the back room. Jasper has also been wrestling with little Muggles, the Maltese pup, and Casper really likes Gus, Muggles & Rupert.

Here's a cute photo of Rico and Dawson:

* Dawson loves Rico, and has also been playing lots with Zipper (Maltese) and Mika (chi).

* Henna (Boston Terrier) made a new friend today - Gus! The two of them have been chasing each other around. She also really likes Dempster (another American cocker spaniel). These three get along fang-tabulously. Dempster also likes playing with Zipper.

* In the far left photo, we have Sheraz (miniature shnauzer), Rico & Cookie (pomeranian).

* Pictured right: Donut (pom). I love this photo!

* Cookie and Donut (pomeranians) are getting a lot more playful lately. Cookie was playing with Muggles earlier, and Donut was playing with Rupert. Yay!

* Pictured left: You guys remember Leroy? He stayed with us for boarding a couple of months ago. Well he's back, tail wagging and all excited, for an appointment with Maori, our fabulous groomer. This is a "before" shot, to the left. And an "after" shot, to the right!

* Pebbles (black maltipoo) just arrived and is running around with all the other little Maltese puppies. She's saying hello to Buttons (cockapoo) right now and trying to give her kisses. Buttons really didn't like her walk this morning... so wet and blahh... so we didn't force her to go far!

Did your dog eat?
