Another snowy day called for another epic
playtime for our little friends this morning! Although small in size, the
small-dog group was large and in charge today! Boarding pals Maya and Toast
picked up right where they left off yesterday and chased one another into the
far yard for some fun in the snow! These two were in their own little world of
play. Every time I looked over they were wrestling and burying one another in
the snow in pure joy. You could just tell by the goofy looks on their faces how
much fun they were having together and at times would have to take a break
mid-wrestle to catch their breaths giving me the perfect photo opportunity. Maya
playfully had Toast buried beneath her in the snow and as I approached them,
they both looked at me with the biggest smiles as if they were saying “nothing
to see here”!
Little Rocky had lots of extra company this
morning to keep him warm in his usual spot by the door. But before he settled,
I secretly saw him take a nice snow-roll in excitement the moment he got
outside! Something about all this fresh snow gets everyone feeling frisky, but
when he caught me watching him, he immediately stopped and went back to playing
the poor cold boy; he gets what he wants that way and he knows it! Don’t worry
Rocky; little Lola likes to play that card as well. She ran around the door in
circles in protest when she knew I was watching. But when I was off in the far
yard with the others, I could see her venture out and do some exploring of her
own, little trickster that one is! Sister Pearl didn’t mind the snow at all; in
fact she embraced it and ran around endlessly with her nose to the ground in
excitement. She definitely wore her little legs out this morning trudging
through all of that snow and was thankful to have her warm bed waiting for her
inside, but probably not as excited as sister Lola was!
Speaking of noses to the ground,
instinctual explorers Coco and Timbit’s loved that all of the fallen snow
provided the perfect hunting game. They searched that yard high and low with
their heads buried to the ground in exploration. Finally when they thought the
job was done, they decided to have a their own wrestle in the snow after seeing
how much fun Maya and Toast were having. There they were, two pairs side by
side having a blast, kicking up snow behind them. All of this fun got the
attention of playful gentlemen Miko and Benji who were watching from the
sidelines just waiting for the right moment to join in. Miko decided to take a
run towards Maya and Toast but was quickly intercepted by little Coconut who
wanted so badly to play with little Miko. Miko just adored the attention and
this sent him off with a case of the zoomies across the yard to see if he could
outrun Coconut; his little ears were flapping in the wind as he picked up
speed! Well now Benji wanted to join in and this silly boy started running
circles around them in excitement! Always playful and happy, Benji enjoyed
another day playing with his favourite four-legged friends!
Boris had a lot of fun today. He was pleased to re-unite
with other dogs. Of course, he was in a group that was mostly huskies. It took
him no time at all to begin flirting with Kyah and asking her to please play.
Kyah briefly gave in and the two romped around, but she soon let Boris know
that she was too mature for his shenanigans. Boris then wandered around in
search of another play mate. He was pleased to meet up with Koda. Koda and
Boris made a great pair. They are equally strong and playful, making their
games very busy and intense. Justice wasn’t far behind and soon these three
boys were playing around together. All this action got Tasha’s attention. She
insisted on breaking up the boy time. Tasha needed both her sons to know she
was boss. Justice seemed to tell her to lighten up and Tasha told him off and
the two ended up racing around in circles. Boris joined in on this fun too, accompanied
by Phoebe, Kyah, and Koda. They zoomed around the yard with big smiles on their
faces, enjoying the deep snow, also known as husky paradise.
Issy was feeling extra frisky when she entered the yard
today. She was thrilled to see that she had access to all three yards and immediately
took advantage of this, running into the agility yard from the far yard and
doing a hundred circles in the deep snow. All this frantic action got the
attention of Boris and Justice very quickly. Issy wasn’t too sure about these
boys, however she was keen on Koda. Issy danced around with Koda for a little
bit and then gave Boris and Justice the time of day. Issy was happy to spend
some time with Tasha too. The mother daughter pair sniffed around side by side
while their sons and grandchildren zoomed in circles around them. Mocha on the
other hand wasn’t too keen on all the snow on the ground as well as all the
snow falling from the sky. She confined herself to the protected kennel in the
main yard, refusing to come cuddle me. I had to sit in the kennel next to her
giving her pets and cuddles rather than her coming out. When Koda spotted me
giving her attention he zoomed in to check her out. This got Mocha up off her
bum and moving around. Koda flirted with Mocha so much, which she wasn’t
apposed to. The two were very cute wagging their tails and licking one another’s
ears. Mocha danced around with Koda for a brief while before wandering away
from him and exploring the yard before it was time to come back indoors.
Max is hilarious when it comes to fresh snow. I’m not sure what
it is that is so intriguing to him, but he will do just about anything to
capture a handful of snow in his mouth. I had Max leaping all around the yard
for snow today. His favourite thing was when I made a snow ball and launched it
across the yard and then it disappeared when it landed. He kept coming back to
me asking for more after he had sniffed around looking for the mysterious disappearing
ball. Max also loved his fast group mates. The huskies and his daycare friends
were so busy running around today. Max loved racing after the huskies and
trying to get in the lead. A couple of times he successfully out ran them and
ended up leading them around the yard. He loves to race behind the outdoor
kennel and loop them around the agility tunnel too. He is so fast on his feet,
only ever stopping when his friends lose interest in chasing him. At the end of
all Max’s playtime, he came to my side for some good pets and cuddles before returning
indoors.
Percy was so happy to be apart of such a fun group today. He
was so occupied with all the action that he didn’t even realize there were no
toys for him to play with. Percy loved racing after his three huskies friends
all day. They are so speedy and agile, that it gives him a lot to focus on.
There’s nothing Percy loves more than a good challenge. Percy was so fast on
his feet, racing as fast as possible after Nyxx, Jynxx, and Skie all around the
yard. He was great at following them around all the obstacles, especially
through the tunnel. The trio was surprised when he never left their sides. They
ended up giving in to his games and splitting up to see who he would chase.
When they all split up Percy seemed a little confused and he came to my side
instead. Coope bolted by just in the nick of time, distracting Percy. Percy
bolted after Cooper and these two ended up frolicking with one another for a
bit. Percy enjoyed boxing with Cooper, and trying to chase him around. After some
socializing with his lab friend, Percy met back up with the huskies for more
fast paced running.
Sophie was very happy to head out into the yard for some one
on one time this morning, rather than trekking through the deep snow on a walk.
She loved exploring without her friends running in circles around her. When it
was time for her main group, she was just as keen to head out and keep an eye
on little Charlotte. Sophie wandered around the yard in slow motion, following
Charlotte as she sped around like a chicken with her head cut off. Whenever
Sophie got to the yard Charlotte was in she would make her way to my side for
some attention while monitoring Charlotte’s every move. Sophie loved being pet
and cuddled while her playful group mates kept busy. Sophie looked so lovely
covered in a light sprinkling of snow when it was time to come back in. She
shook off in the hall, resulting in it looking like it was snowing indoors.
Charlotte was so busy in the yard today. She only stopped moving once, when I
offered her a treat for a photo of her face. Charlotte loved her group so much,
she was thrilled to meet Ruby, a lovely puppy. Ruby and Charlotte were a match
made in heaven from the moment they got outdoors. The duo raced around the yard
after one another with company of fellow golden, Windy. Charlotte was so intrigued
by Ruby she followed her everywhere and even got her running through the
tunnel. Ruby is so happy go lucky, and easy going, making for a wonderful
playmate. Charlotte loved wrestling with her, boxing with her, and running in
circles with her. The pair never stopped moving.
