George and Titan started their morning like usual, with a little exploring. They started out in different areas of the yard, but pretty soon Titan decided to head over and join George. Titan, having seen enough, made his way over to me to see what I was up to. After, he headed over to the pool. Titan was quick to hop right in and get his feet nice and wet. His antics caught the eyes of the majority of the group and pretty soon he didn’t have the pool to himself. George was one of the few who weren’t quite interested in the pool just yet. He had made his way out to the tall grass by the main building and was on the hunt for something spectacular. Titan left the pool to Katie and headed over to join George. They spent some time exploring together until George noticed the pool was now empty. He headed on over to see what all the fuss was about. George did it just in time too as Katie wasn’t too far behind him. She was now covered in dirt and hopped in next to where George was standing to rinse her feet. Titan noticed George had made his way over to the pool and went over to hop in once more. George left the pool and headed off to do some more exploring around the yard. Duke and Tyson's playing caught Titan’s attention. He went trotting over to see about maybe joining in. In the end the three of them went trotting around the yard together. Titan was then stopped by Brenyn. It wasn’t long before the two of them were having a great time wrestling and goofing off.
Duke is such a happy boy and is always so excited to get outside and see what’s going to happy that day. He went trotting around the yard saying hi to everyone, when he came across Brenyn, a dog he didn’t know. Duke spent some time checking her over before returning to running around the yard. Soon enough Duke had his nose to the ground and was off checking out any interesting scents. Along the way he met up with Charlie. The two of them started bounce around before they took off around the yard. Their antics caught Tyson’s attention. He went running over to steal Duke away from Charlie. Duke was okay with this and went along with Tyson. Titan then joined them. The three of them then went trotting off around the yard together. Titan didn’t stick around long so it was back to just Duke and Tyson.
Olen and Zuk had a pretty good first day. They were a little unsure, but warmed up pretty quickly. Olen met up with Shyla shortly after they got out to the agility yard. She was so exited to see him and desperately wanted to play. Olen did too, but he also wanted to check out the yard with Zuk. He was quick to put his nose to the ground to start exploring when Maverick went over to say hi. Maverick then moved on to say hi to Olen. Zuk headed out to check out more of the yard. Shyla joined Zuk for a quick hello and then turned to Olen, seeing about getting him to play once more. Olen was in a playful mood now, and he obliged the Shyla's request. The two of them took of racing around the yard. Olen soon stopped when something caught his attention. After thoroughly checking out the rocks Olen went to go and say hello to Mocha. She took quite a liking to him and wanted to play. Olen bounced around with her for a bit, until Shyla appeared wanting to play with him some more. Zuk was still all about the exploring. A little while later Olen found himself being checked over by Issy. She also took quite the liking to him, but Olen wasn’t as interested this time. Olen left her to go and join Zuk and do some exploring with him.
Hobart went trotting out to the agility yard. He set off to do a quick tour of the yard to see if anything had changed. When Hobart had made sure that everything was good, he went trotting back to the entrance to the yard. I went over to see what he was up to. Hobart was happy to see me and receive lots of pets. I left him to his sun tanning and went to rejoin the others. After a little while I headed back to check on Hobart. He came trotting out to meet me and ask for some more pets. Hobart was also joined by Shyla, the two of them spent some time hanging out together.
Issy and Mocha were all about the exploring as per usual. They made their way out to the agility yard and were quick to put their noses to the ground to see what they might find. Issy made her way a little further into the yard. She stood waiting for Mocha to me done with her section by the entrance before she moved on. Mocha did finish up and go trotting over to meet back up with Issy. Having checked on one another, they split up once more. Issy headed off to check out more of the yard while Mocha decided to take a seat and watch what the rest of the group was up to. After a little while Mocha found herself being joined by Olen. They spent some time checking each other over and saying hello. Mocha took quite a liking to him and was hoping they could play. He ended up being stolen away by Shyla, so Mocha made her way over to me for some pets. Not too long after this Issy noticed Olen, only this time it was Issy who went and sought him out. Unfortunately for her, she liked him a lot more than he liked her. Eventually Issy finished her greeting and wandered off to sniff aorund some more. Mocha headed out to do some more exploring as well. She wasn’t gone long, and was soon wanting more pets. Mocha even sat on my foot so I couldn’t leave.
Maverick and Shyla couldn’t wait for it to be their turn for group. They were quick to go racing off into the yard. When they realized that the rest of the group hadn’t joined them yet they went running back to the entrance to wait. When Olen and Zuk came through the gate they were pretty excited, though more so Shyla. She went bouncing over to Olen wanting to play. Maverick said his hellos then went to see what Zuk was up to. When Olen wasn’t quite ready to play, Shyla went off to join Zuk for a little exploring. She couldn’t only do that for so long and was quickly back at Olen’s side wanting to play. This time Shyla had a bit more luck. She and Olen went racing off around the yard. Maverick stood in the shade watching their antics. The racing soon changed into exploring when Olen needed to go and check something out. Shyla was soon asking him to play once more. Maverick left the shade to go and see what was going on with the pool. He ended up deciding against hopping in and went trotting off to check out more of the yard. Shyla was next to make her way over to the pool. She spent some time staring at it, before also deciding not to hop in. Maverick left his explorations to make his way over to me for some pets and cuddles. When he was satisfied he decided now was the time to hop in the pool. Shyla left off her exploring to make her way over to where Hobart was hanging out by the entrance and spend some time with him.
Pippin W. and Penny seemed very happy to be in today! They greeted everyone with lots of enthusiasm no matter how many times we saw each other. During groups outside they were just as excited with the other dogs as they were with us inside. They ran out the door and started to bounce around while saying hi to everyone. When Penny took off to explore after she got all of her energy out, Pippin walked over to the further yard to begin sniffing around with some of her other dog friends. When I was sitting on one of the rocks in the further yard, Penny came running over to me to say hello and jumped up to give me some company as she sat beside me. She couldn’t sit still for too long though since her body kept wiggling as she was so excited to see the other dogs that came up to say hello. She jumped down and started to chase them back to the gravel yard and I followed after her. I walked over to the picnic table and took a seat in the shade when all the dogs ran over to see me, including Penny and Pippin. Pippin was trying her hardest to jump up on top of it but it was a little too tall for her so I helped her up and she sat beside me in the shade as some of the others jumped up as well to join her.
Merlin was such a happy energetic boy today outside, along with one of his best daycare pals Pippin H. When these two walked into the yard, Merlin was all over the place right from the start. He couldn’t decided whether he wanted to play, explore or just come and see me for some cuddles. This caused him to not stay in one spot for more than 5 seconds as he ran around the whole yard before he settled down, Pippin was keeping to himself at first when he came outside. He wandered around the gravel yard at first while sniffing everything along the fence all the way up to the play structure. It wasn’t until Merlin ran up to him with the biggest grin on his face and jumped around, asking for a play mate. Pippin stood still for a second and gave him a couple sniffs until he started to run. These two did a couple laps around the yard while playing tag before they went off on their own again. Merlin went to explore by the grass. He came up to me when I called him and loved the cuddles. Pippin started to get more and more playful as group time went on. He met up with Higgins and Merlin and had lots of fun wrestling around with them.
Coco and Timbits came in with a howl this morning. They love to announce their arrival and their excitement whenever they first get here. After their walk, Coco and Timbits settled down a little bit, that is until they go outside for their group time! Timbits ran out the door faster than the speed of light as Coco trotted behind him trying to find a snack on the way out the door. Outside, Timbits was full of energy right away. He started to run around and say hi to me as well as the other dogs in his group. He really liked Maya and followed her around the yard for a while as Coco took off on her own to start sniffing around the yard for a treat. It wasn’t long before she came across a bone that she found in the grass and picked it up as fast as she could before anyone noticed she had it then ran to a spot in the corner to chew on it. Of course Timbits sniffed it out from across the yard and ran right over to try ad get it for himself. Coco was not having it and kept on moving to different spots in the grass to relax with it but Timbits just kept on following. Eventually Timbits snagged it from her when another dog ran by that distracted Coco. Timbits grabbed the bone and ran over to a cozy spot in the sun the chew on it while Coco walked over to see me. I gave her lots of cuddles as she hopped up onto my lap.
Miko was super excited to come in this morning when he ripped down the hallway to meet his friends in the back. Out in the yard he was pretty calm and cool. When he walked out the door he started off by noticing a new dog out in the yard. Jack and ran right over to him right away. He started to jump up on him and say hi as Jack stood there unsure of whether or not he wanted to play yet. Miko gave him some time on his own as he went to go sniff around so Jack could get more comfortable with the other dogs before he tried to play with him. Miko started to explore around the door then walked all the way along the fence while sniffing the grass before he got to the pool to explore there. I tried to walk over to take some photos of him but whenever got close he would run away with a big smile on his face. Jack was a tad nervous at first when he got outside as all the dogs ran to see him, but when everyone finished saying hi he had some time to sniff around on his own he slowly became more comfortable with everything. I called him over to me and he trotted over as I gave him some cuddles. Miko ran back over to start playing and started to bounce around him but he still wasn’t ready to play and stayed by me instead.
Bella and Jake are such sweet dogs. They came outside today with everyone and ran up to me right away to say hi and greet me. Jake jumped up and tried to reach to give me a kiss while Bella stayed on the ground and barked at him. She always wants all the cuddles for herself! When they were outside they didn’t do too much during the start of their group. They both wandered around and said hello to the dogs that came up to them before walking off to sniff around a bit. I saw Jake walking over to sniff some of the toys so I picked one up and waved it in the air for him to play tug a war with me. He didn’t want to bite on to it but was getting so excited so I threw it across the yard and watched it as it landed. But Jake wasn’t feeling it and didn’t chase after it, instead he jumped up on me to say hi and to give me lots more kisses. I knelt down and called Bella over as well. When Bella came Jake had enough and went to go see some of the other dogs as she curled up into my lap like a baby. When I stood back up Jake was ready to play and started to jump around with Bella for a little while before running into Maya and playing with her.
Maya and Rocky spent the day in a kennel together and Rocky snoozed the entire day! when it was time to go outside I had to wake him up out of his nap before he trotted out the door. Outside Rocky just hung out like usual. He likes to relax a lot more than socializing with the other dogs and leaves that for Maya to do. He hung around the door and sniffed around it for a bit before trotting out to the grass to explore where all of the dogs were playing. When some of the more energetic dogs ran by him he quickly walked back over to the door to relax and lay down in the sun. Maya was the opposite and had so much energy to play outside with today. She ran out the door and began to chase all of the dogs which made them all run around in circles. She finally decided that she wanted to play tag with Timbits as he was sniffing the grass and jumped up on his back for him to notice her. He stopped what he was doing right away and they zipped around the yard while playing their game of tag. I picked up a toy and started to throw it for Maya to play fetch with, it wasn’t really a game though since as I threw the rope toy the first time she ran after it and swung it around in the air before running back to play with Timbits.
