Reese had a fantastic day today. When I
went to get him for his group, Reese ran around his kennel, excited to see his
walking buddies. As I opened the door for everyone, of course Reese was the
first one outside, but he did wait for all of his pals to catch up to him. After
running through the yards, when Reese got to the field he trotted along side
me, with his nose to the ground and tail in the air. As we made our way through
the field Reese made sure to stop a few times to smells all the fresh flowers
and some hay that was in the field. When we got back to his kennel Reese walked
in and went over to his bed for a much-needed rest, until it was time to go out
again. When group time rolled around Reese was so eager to get to spent some
time with his pals. As soon as I let him outside, he gave everyone a good
sniff, then ran around the yard. While he ran around one of his pals caught his
eye and they took off running together over to me. One they got to me Reese
kindly told his pal that he no longer wanted to run around and that he wanted a
few cuddles from me, so I gave him a few pets and kisses. Before it was time to
go back inside, Reese ran around the yard a few more times, and gave everything
a good sniff. For his extra attention today we spent some time cuddling up front,
and then we went outside for a little walk. After we came back inside I gave
Reese a few of his treat in return for a sit, paw and lie down. After a few
more treats Reese and I cuddled for a little while longer before it was time
for him to go back to his kennel.
Dudley and Abby are loving staying with us
when their parents are out of town. For their group today, Dudley and Abby
couldn’t wait to get outside. When I opened the door Dudley ran out as fast as
he could, but he waited at the door for Abby to catch up before they ran around
the yard together. While they ran through the yard Abby stopped to snatch up a
few pieces of grass while Dudley went to sniffing around the rocks and
boulders. After tasting some grass Abby ran over to me and sat up on my lap,
while Dudley ran happily around the yard. After getting some cuddles Abby
jumped off my lap to go chase Dudley around the yard for a bit. Before it was
time to go back inside, the pair came over to me for a few cuddles and kisses.
Pelley wasted no time racing up to the playroom for her extra attention after walks today. She immediately started running around the room, trying to see everything at once. The table and couch were quite interesting, so she spent some time sniffing them over. Pelley hopped up onto the couch and stuck her nose in every crevice she could find, looking for treats. Unfortunately the only thing that she discovered was dog hair. I snuck out to grab some treats for her and when I got back, she seemed to know exactly where I had gone. I had her sit for a few treats and then Pelley wandered off again to continue exploring while I pet her and took pictures. She wanted to look out the window and was just barely tall enough to see outside, so I picked her up and held her for a bit while she observed the yard. Pelley enjoyed a couple more treats and a nice back rub before we headed back to her kennel, so that she could rest before groups. When it was time to go out for her group, Pelley jumped for joy as she saw her friends running down the hall, and as soon as I opened her kennel door she ran along with her friends to the open door and ran outside. After saying hello to everyone Pelley ran around the yard excited to be out with all her pals. Once she had burned off all her extra energy Pelley came over to me for a few cuddles and kisses, but then went on the play with Joe and Vega for a few minutes. After playing around with the pups for a bit, Pelley discovered that she was tired, and came over to sit with me until it was time to go back inside.
Ranger and Piper enjoyed a lovely walk this morning and were
making their way down the trail with their heads up, basking in the sun as they
walked. After walks, the two of them were bouncing around with excitement when
I came to get them for their turn in the yard. They raced outside with their
friend Maggie and were happily greeted by a few more energetic dogs. Piper is
hardly shy in the yard now and she was racing around to say hello to everybody;
she bumped into Dushka and play-bowed in front of her, but before the two of
them started playing, Piper was running away again. She settled down eventually
and decided to wander around the yard and have a sniff with her friend Max. I
was taking pictures nearby, and as soon as Piper noticed me she trotted over
for some cuddles. I gave her a nice scratch behind the ear while we watched
Ranger explore the yard. It was quite sunny and warm out today, and
occasionally Ranger would pause and lift his nose to enjoy the weather. He went
back to sniffing around and Piper hurried over to cheer on Riley and Dushka
while they wrestled with each other. A little while later, Ranger ended up
beside me and we cuddled together, until Piper saw this and got jealous. I had
them both sit in front of me for a picture and then spent some time petting
them. Then Ranger went to continue his exploration of the yard, occasionally
sitting down to observe the other dogs, and he must have found something
interesting to smell in the grass. Piper headed back to bounce around with
Dushka. Seeing that they were both enjoying themselves, I went to go see what
the rest of the group was up to. Only a few minutes later and I turned around
to find Piper sitting like an angel and waiting for some attention. We cuddled
until it was time to go in.
Max P. is always a fun dog to have in the yard. He started the day
with a nice walk and then happily headed to the agility yard for group time.
There must have been some interesting scents in the grass today because Max and
a few others spent a while sniffing around. He seemed to enjoy the fence and
took his time nosing around in the rocks, and then Max trotted over to see what
the other dogs were up to. He wasn't sure if he was in the mood to play today,
but was content to watch while Riley, Dushka and Gracie ran around together.
Occasionally, if they got close enough to him, Max would pretend to pounce on
one of them and then he would get so excited, jumping up and down while they
raced in circles. Eventually the dogs slowed down for a breather and Max
wandered over to see what I was up to. He checked my pockets for treats;
unfortunately, I didn't have any goodies for him, though he was happy to cuddle
instead. Max sat down beside me and happily soaked up the attention. After a while,
once the dogs were rested, Gracie and Dushka started to run around again, and
this caught Max's interest. He trotted in their direction and was intercepted
by Riley. The boys proceeded to wrestle and chase each other around for a
while, and then the group settled down again and went to sniff around for a
bit.
Gracie seemed to be in quite the good mood today. She was trotting
along happily on her walk and was looking forwards to her extra attention
afterwards. After all of that, Gracie was still very excited to get out into
the yards for group time. She hurried out the door with the other dogs and made
her rounds saying hello to everyone. Once the rest of the group had been
greeted, Gracie wandered over to see if I would pet her. Of course I was
delighted to cuddle with her and spent some time giving her a nice back rub
before Gracie decided to explore the yard for a bit. She jogged around with her
nose in the grass, and every once in a while she would stop and lift her head
to enjoy the breeze. During her exploration, Gracie ran into Dushka, who wasted
no time play-bowing for Gracie. The two of them started to wrestle and bounce
around. They put their front paws on each other and the girls danced around for
a bit until one of them lost their balance. Dushka ended up laying on the
ground while Gracie pretended to chew on her feet, and then Gracie flopped over
on the ground also and they just rolled around together. Then Riley came
hurtling over and jumped right into the middle, so Gracie quickly leaped to her
feet and ran to the tunnel with the other two close on her heels. She decided
to claim the tunnel as her own and sat at the entrance, playfully defending it
from Dushka and Riley for the rest of group time. Gracie loves getting to spend some time
with us for her extra attention; today we were out in the lounge. When we got
to the lounge Gracie ran over to the cot and placed for me while I got her a
treat. After I rewarded her Gracie and I sat on the couch and cuddles for a few
minutes. After cuddling, Gracie decided she wanted to show off some tricks for
treats. She showed me how well she can sit, lie down, place, catch, fetch, roll
over, and give a paw. After getting a few more treats Gracie came back over to
me for a few more cuddles before she went back to her kennel.
