Wow, it was a hot one out there today! We kept our outdoor time relatively short and brought the dogs in for indoor play pretty quickly. For some pictures from our indoor groups, check out our Tails & Trails Facebook page!
Miko went racing out into the yard. He took a look around then headed straight for the far yard. Miko's antics caught the eye of Abby who went over to see what he was up to. By this point, Miko was feeling the heat and had pretty much used up all his energy. He made his way over to me for some pets and attention then headed out to watch the others and observe the yard. It wasn't long before he was feeling frisky again and went bouncing off to check out the hole. That done Miko went back to dog watching. It wasn't long before we ended up retreating to the shade to cool off for a bit. Once the group had cooled down it didn't take long for Abby and Jake to start racing around. Miko, not one to miss out on a good run was quick to join the fun. When the running stopped Miko was more than happy to try and get them going once more.
Adele wasted no time in heading out to the yard and putting her nose to the ground. I was rather impressed that she was trotting around like that and not crashing into anything. Adele took a little break when Duke went trotting over to join her and say hi. When he wandered off once more Adele's nose hit the ground and she was off. She was eventually distracted from her exploring when she spotted Bella and Magic playing. Adele stood watching them debating on what she wanted to do. When they ended up in the pool she finally decided to go over and see about joining in. Once Adele got in the pool she decided that she'd actually rather splash in the pool for a little bit. She then became aware of the fact that Bella was no longer playing with Magic. Seeing an opportunity Adele went running over to get Bella to play with her. Soon they were having a lot of fun wrestling.
Bella went trotting out to the agility yard and immediately put her nose to the ground. She was very determined to smell that particular section most thoroughly, even when I showed her the pool Bella went right back to exploring. Eventually, Bella had apparently checked out everything that needed to be checked and decided now was the time for the pool. She started to splash around and just generally enjoying the pool. Bella didn't have the pool all to herself for long as Justice went and hopped in with her. Bella didn't seem to mind and was actually pretty excited to see him. Once she had cooled off and hopped out of the pool Bella quickly found herself being asked to play by Magic. Soon they were tearing around the yard having a blast. Adele not wanting to miss out went over to see about joining in. When Magic went off to do some exploring with Justice, Bella wasn't alone long. Adele went bounding over to play.
Teddy was pretty excited to head for group and see who all was out there with him. As soon as he got into the yard Teddy started to watch what the others were up to and see if anyone was going to start running soon. He was out of luck as everyone was more interested in doing some exploring around the yard. Teddy decided to go with the flow and do some exploring of his own. Once he finished with the main yard he went trotting out to the far yard. He wasn't alone long as Spencer went trotting out to join him. They headed out to check out different parts of the yard. Teddy then noticed Zennon checking out the hole and decided to go over and see what was going on. It wasn't long before they stood staring at each other trying to decide what to do. Zennon started to bounce around wanting to play. Teddy wasn't quite sure about this as he's more of a runner than a wrestler. He ended up leaving Zennon to come visit with me. When Zennon started to run around with Spencer, Teddy was quite excited and went to race around with them.
Spencer was quick to put his nose to the ground and set off in search of all things interesting. Along the way, he met up with Odessa. Spencer was more than happy to spend some time saying hi and seeing how she was. Soon they were joined by Zennon who was curious about what they were up to. Odessa wandered off so Spencer spent some time getting acquainted with Zennon. He then spotted Teddy going trotting out to the far yard and decided to tag along after him. Spencer's nose was quick to hit the ground once more and he was off touring around the yard. Once he'd seen pretty much everything Spencer made his way over to Zennon. Soon they were off running. With the heat, it didn't last long so Spencer went back to touring around the yard.
Bear was pretty happy to go outside though I don't think he was overly thrilled with the heat. He set out to tour around the yard and see if anything was new and exciting. Bear made his way all around the yard stopping only to thoroughly check out whatever caught his attention. He eventually made his way over to the pool. Bear spent some time looking at it and debating. He ended up settling on the little puddle that was next to the pool, thanks to the hole in the pool. Bear was quite happy to settle himself in the puddle and cool off for a bit. Feeling cooler he got up to see what the rest of the group was up to. It wasn't long before Bear was back to checking things out around the yard. Not finding anything too exciting he decided it was time to cool off in the puddle once more.
Extra Attention
Bella was so excited when I went to grab her for her extra attention time. I brought her to the playroom so we could have some fun and stay cool. Bella wasted no time in pouncing on the toys, but as soon as she realized I had some treats she came and sat and waited to see what I wanted from her. I asked Bella for a sit then tossed a bunch of treats so she had to go find them. Bella was quick to go racing after them and track them all down. We did this a couple more times until the treats ran out. After that, Bella decided it was time for some pets and scratches. Once she had had enough it was time to play with some toys. Bella went and grabbed the rope toy and soon we had a good little game of tug going. After she had won, Bella brought back and we switched to a game of fetch.
