Nov. 16: A rainy Monday

Everyone needs an umbrella today -

even Dawson and Rainy Rover.

Hey Duffy!

Duffy is still new to our daycare but is doing really well

and getting more comfortable every day.

One pup who never lets the rain get him down is Fiddi. If all humans were as happy as Fiddi, the world would be a much better place. Our dear boy Bechler is hilarious to watch after a rainy walk.

He will find the coziest dog bed with blankets and

roll and roll until every inch of him is dry.

Spike and LG are the complete opposite.

No matter what the weather. Rain, sleet, snow, or hurricane...

These guys are excited to go for a walk anytime!

Oct. 30: Happy Howl'aween!

Wow, what a scary bunch... Of the 26 dogs at daycare today, 18 are dressed up in costume! All of the outfits are so great this year, it was hard for us to pick our favourites.

And the winners for best costume are:

1) Tied for first place are the Maltese puppy clan: Zipper (dressed as a pirate - pictured above), Sprokette (an adorable bumblebee), Peanut (a devil), and Muggles (a skunk). A big THANK YOU to their mom, Traci, for bringing in doggie treats for everyone.

2) Molly, the Min Pin cross, who has the coolest K9 police officer costume (pictured above), complete with handcuffs.

3) Jude, the puggle, who wins for most originality. He's dressed as an All Black rugby player from New Zealand. It was hard to capture this costume in a photograph so sorry if you can't make it out very well.

Runners-up... Taylor the fire chief and Rico the penguin.

All photos of each of the dogs are below. Also, scroll down for photos of Bella (Jack Russell-chihuahua cross), who turns one today! We're celebrating her birthday with cake, games and photos. What a day :-)

Even baby Tessa (above) into the dress-up spirit! She shared her costume with Ozzy (below).

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BELLA!
