Chief was fast asleep in the hammock when I entered the cattery. He also seemed quite determined to stay that way. After giving Chief a quick pet I moved onto Aquinas. He was a little more eager to be woken up from his nap. After having himself a good stretch Aquinas was ready to receive some scratches and pets. Marley stood a little ways away watching us. As soon as I stopped petting Aquinas, Marley made his way over to me and demanded some pets of his own. After he'd had enough attention he went and hopped up into the windowsill to watch the world go by. Next I went to have a visit with Missy. She was happily curled up in her cubby. At first Missy wasn't so sure she wanted any attention, but she soon warmed up to the idea and was quite happy to get some scratches.
Groups
For the first group of the morning it was the first group of littles. Bruno was quick to go racing off. He didn't seem to quite know what he wanted to do, but that was soon remedied when Mac went running to join him. The two of them had so much fun racing back and forth between the yards. Merlin, Tennya, and Kouza all headed out to do some exploring in the snow. Merlin soon went off to join Mac and Bruno. In the end he decided he didn't really want to go racing through the snow so Merlin came and plopped himself next to me wanting lots of love and pets while also watching the other two race around. Tennya, having gone all over the main yard, headed out to the far yard to continue her explorations. When she came to an untouched section of snow she had to throw herself down and have a good roll. That done, Tennya continued on exploring. Bruno was also having fun rolling in the snow. Merlin finally left my side to head out and do some more exploring. This time he was a little more interested and was quite focused on his search. I made my way back to the main yard to see what Kouza was up to. She had taken a break from exploring and was just listening to what was going on around. When Kouza heard my approach she met me part way. She the proceeded to present her but and demand some scratches.
The second group of littles was up next. Nanook was practically vibrating he was so exited to get out into the snow. Xiao Bao was a little less so, but he loves being out with Nanook so much that I think he enjoyed himself more than he thought he would. When they got outside Nanook headed out to do a little exploring in the snow. Xiao Bao didn't want to stay still long enough to explore anything so he ran around the yard while also occasionally coming over for a visit with me. Nanook stopped exploring to have himself a good roll in the snow. Feeling all frisky he went racing off. Xiao Bao went racing after him. They trotted around together for a little while until Xiao Bao came over for another visit.
Roobee and Riley are still loving the snow. Although Roobee wasn't too thrilled with the cold this morning on our walk, she didn't seem to mind as much for group time. As soon as they made it out the door they went racing off to the far yard and started ripping around. Oliver also made his way out to the far yard, but he set out to explore. Riley finally stopped racing around to go and check out a section of deep snow. It wasn't long before he was joined by Oliver and Tatoo. Roobee went trotting off to the agility yard, looking for adventure. She didn't stay away long and was soon back wondering if Riley was done checking the snow out. He wasn't, so she figured she might as well do some exploring of her own. Finally Riley was done checking everything out. We then decided to make our way out to the agility yard. Riley and Roobee proceeded to race around like crazy while once more Oliver set out to explore. While Riley was running around, he found himself being pounced on by Kane. This resulted in the two of them having a blast racing around and wrestling. Roobee didn't seem to mind that she had lost her racing partner as she became very interested in something on the other side of the fence. She made sure to keep me informed of everything she discovered. Oliver, who was still going around checking everything out, noticed Tatoo rolling around in the snow. Wondering what he was doing Oliver headed over to check it out. After he had thoroughly examined Tatoo and his ear kicked back in the process, Oliver went off to explore some more.
The last group of the morning was definitely a fun group to end the morning on. As soon as they got outside, Molly and Duke started bouncing around in the main yard. When they noticed that Dawson, Syrus, and Finnegan had headed out to the agility yard, they were quick to go racing after them. As I entered the agility yard, I found Syrus and Dawson having a grand old time running around with Phoebe. Molly soon found herself being asked to play by Finnegan. They went racing off together. This caught Syrus's eye, and he wanted to play with Finnigan. Dawson seemed okay with this as it meant he had Phoebe all to himself. Molly took a break from running to go and do a little exploring in the snow. Finnegan went racing off around the yard with Syrus on his tail. They soon were joined by Duke. Duke then branched off to run with Dawson and Phoebe. Syrus and Finnegan switched from racing around to having some fun wrestling. The two of them then stood watching Dawson, Duke and Phoebe run around. Syrus and Finnegan quickly decided to go and join them. Molly was still off doing some exploring when she found a rather frozen rope toy buried in the snow. She was quite happy with her discovery. Molly then went prancing around the yard showing off her prize before settling in the snow to chew on it. Finnegan spotted Molly's toy and made his way over to see if maybe she would give it to him. In the end she wouldn't, but they did get a game of tug-o-war going. Their antics soon caught Syrus's attention as well as Dawson and Duke who all headed over to see what was going on. Several minutes later Duke somehow had the rope toy and went trotting off to have a chew on it. Molly and Finnegan followed him hoping to get the toy back. Pretty soon Duke was booking it around the yard, toy in mouth, as Finnegan and Molly chased after him. He eventually stopped running, which allowed Molly the opportunity to grab the other end of the rope. The two of them then had a good game of tug. Duke ended up winning and the running continued. A little while later Duke came over and offered me the toy. We had a little game of tug that he quickly won. Duke then came over and dropped it so I could throw the toy. After a couple throws Molly came racing in and stole the toy. She then went and dropped it in the snow and proceeded to roll on top of it. I'm guessing she wanted to roll in the snow but didnt' want to risk losing the toy so she rolled on the two...Molly ended up rolling off of it so Duke was quick to snatch it up. Molly then went racing after him. They were soon having another game of tug. In another part of the yard Syrus and Finnegan were having fun racing around and wrestling. Eventually they needed a break and so headed off to do a little exploring together.
