Chief was a very happy boy whenever I’d go in to see him throughout
the day. He was usually in his favourite spot; the hanging bed on the cat tree.
Whenever I entered the room he would look at me, preform a huge stretch and
then meow until I went over to pet him. He definitely liked to show off his
meow today whenever he was in his kennel because he wanted to get out and rule
the whole room. He’d sit right up against his kennel door and meow consistently
until I’d let him back out; he’s a smart little guy. Rhapsody is obsessed with
going inside the food cabinet! Every time I go in I hear a noise coming
from it, followed by her bouncing out as if she won’t be caught. She spent her
fair share of time on the cat tree as well today. Her favourite spot was inside
the little box at the bottom. She’d sneak in there then stick her paw out every
time I was walking by. Every once in a while I’d walked by and see her all
cuddled up and asleep in her little hiding spot. Missy kept to herself today
for the most part. She loved sitting up at the window and watching all the
snowflakes and people pass by. She seem to be pretty intrigued by it for at
least half of the day. When she wasn’t at the window, I’d usually find her
cuddled up and napping on her bed. I tried to get her to come out of her kennel
and play with me for a little bit but I must have caught her right in the
middle of nap time because there was no way she was getting up. Aquinas seems
to feel right at home here. It didn’t take him long at all to get used to the
place once again and settle in. In fact he too already has a favourite spot to
sit; of course it’s on the cat tree. Just like Rhapsody, he loves to hide inside
the box at the bottom of the tree and watch everyone that passes by him. He
actually spent most of his day sleeping in there. However whenever I went in I
would encourage him to come follow me around and play with a few toys. He didn’t
end up playing too much but he still enjoyed swatting around a couple toys for
a little while. Ava was quite the cuddle bug today. She was absolutely in love
with her bed and I don’t think she really wanted to ever leave it. However I got
her up and out of her kennel to get her a little bit more active. Once she was
out, she immediately began exploring, sniffing all the walls, toys, bowls of
water and especially the cat tree. It almost looked as if she was about to jump
onto it, but I knew I’d never get her back off of it so I distracted her with a
nice ear scratch. She always seems to love a good ear scratch.
Groups
The littles were the first group of the new year. Everyone seemed determined to start off with a little exploring, probably checking to see if anything drastic had happened with the changing of the yard. Kouza was the first to take her explorations out to the far yard. Mac was the only one who didn't want to do any exploring. He was quick to race over to Ryder and ask him to play. Xiao Bao was the next to be done exploring. He spotted Nanook and made a beeline in his direction. Nanook took a couple extra moments to sniff something of great interest. He then went racing off out to the far yard with Xiao Bao on his tail. Beanie, Poochio and Ryder also made their way out to the far yard. Before they got there, Beanie was distracted by something interesting in the snow. She was soon joined by Rozy and the two spent some time thoroughly checking it out. Done with the inspection, Beanie went to join her brother. Poochie, Beanie and Ryder ended up meeting at the gate. Soon Poochio and Ryder were bouncing around and having lots of fun. They were soon joined by Chase, which then resulted in Ryder leaving Poochio to play with Chase. Beanie headed off to do some exploring around the yard. Rozy and Tennya decided to stay in the main yard and continue exploring. Back in the far yard, Kouza was very interested in whatever interesting scents she had smelled. After she had smelled everything of interest to her she made her way over my way. Kouza was happy to receive some pets and attention. She then proceeded to have herself a good stretch. That done, Kouza wandered off to continue her explorations. Xiao Bao came running over to demand some love and pets from me. He then went bouncing off to go play with Missy. Nanook made his way out to the main yard where he set off to do some more exploring. Tennya, who was still out the main yard, finally made her way out to the far yard. She was joined by Beanie, who had left the far yard earlier to join Tennya. Tennya and Beanie continued to stick together. They enjoyed going around the yard checking everything out. When Xiao Bao was done playing with Missy, he went bouncing off to go and see about getting Nanook to play with him some more. They played for a little while until Xiao Bao's attention was captured by Rozy, who was zooming around in the snow having so much fun. After he left her, Ryder made his way over to see if maybe Rozy would play with him. Xiao Bao ended up back with Nanook and the two of them went racing out to the far yard. Rozy ended up not playing with Ryder and so went back to racing and rolling around in the snow. Tennya left Beanie to return to the main yard. I followed her out and I was followed out by some of the group. Tennya went out to do a little more exploring before she made her way over to me for some attention. Poochio and Ryder headed my way as well. Soon they were having fun wrestling by my feet. Ryder then went running off to have a visit with Nanook which soon resulted in them wrestling and bouncing around.
Next up we had some big dogs plus a little, although Millie is very big in attitude. We headed outside where everyone was quite excited to say hi to Brokk. They were all fascinated and they all wanted to play with him, Syrus and Magic especially. After Millie had said 'hi' she went running off to see her bff Glory. They were soon wrestling and having a ball. Spencer went running off to go dashing through the snow. Dawson stationed himself in a spot where he could see everyone and proceeded to be the commentator. Syrus eventually left Brokk and went running off to join Spencer. Millie took a break from wrestling with Glory to go and run with Paisley. Soon the four of them met up along with Dawson, and went racing around together. The group run didn't last too long and soon Dawson came running over for some pets. Not too far behind him came Syrus. Once they'd had enough pets Dawson went running after Spencer as he passed by. Syrus decided to do a little exploring in the snow. Dawson slid off from Spencer to go and see about getting Glory to wrestle with him. Spencer decided to go and flop in some snow. Millie and Brokk made their way over to see what he was up to. Not finding him overly interesting they soon wandered off. Spencer then shot to his feet and went racing off. Syrus saw this and went tearing after him. They played for a little while until Syrus went off to do some more exploring. Dawson and Millie then went over to play with Spencer.
Roobee and Riley were super excited to get outside to the snow. They went racing off only to stop to do a little exploring in the fresh white stuff. Riley and Roobee headed out to the agility yard to continue their explorations. They then went racing off to the far yard. Riley found the far yard much better for racing around in the snow like a crazy deer. He was soon having a blast leaping through the snow. Roobee wasn't quite ready to run around, but was happy to watch Riley do so. A little while later she was finally hit with the snow zoomies and went tearing off around the yard with Riley. It's so fun to watch those two play.
The last group of the morning couldn't wait to get out to play in the snow. Jax was quick to go tearing around the snow as fast as he could. Duke stopped for a visit with me before he went charging over to Jax wanting to play. Molly stood watching them, debating on joining in. Oliver decided to take another route and went trotting off to check out the agility yard. He wasn't gone long and soon came trotting back out wanting to know what everyone was up to. Jax and Duke took a break from playing so Duke made his way back over to me for some more pets and love. We all then headed out to the far yard. Molly soon found herself being pounced on by Duke. They then had some fun wrestling and running around. Jax not wanting to miss out on the fun came racing over to join in. It soon turned into Duke and Jax having a great time wrestling and Molly joining in occasionally. Oliver wondered what they were all up to and made his way over to check it out. In the end Jax and Duke were too wrapped up in each other to include the others. Duke soon needed a bit of a break. He plopped himself down and helped himself to some snow. Jax went off to find himself some nice deep snow. He then flattened himself into the snow. Jax also had some fun rolling around.
