Tuesday, February 7th, 2017

Issy was feeling very excited when it was time to head outside today. All the fresh snow gives her lots to sniff and explore, keeping her very busy. Mocha was in the same mindset too, at first. As Mocha motored around the yard she quickly realized she was being followed. Charlie the Rhodesian Ridgeback was very interested in miss Mocha. Mocha wasn’t opposed to being followed at first, but then decided she should get to know him before allowing it to continue. She was pretty frisky with him, putting herself nose to nose with him and then wiggling backwards away from him. Charlie thought this was an invite to play and began dancing and prancing around her. Mocha was quick to change her mind and zoom off to enjoy some solo time around the perimeter of the yard. As Mocha took off, Charlie spotted Issy doing some fast paced circles at the back of the yard. He made his way right too her and began dancing around her. All this commotion got Justice and Windy’s attention and soon Issy was involved in a group meeting. She wasn’t apposed to all the attention at first. Of course, she realized Justice was trying to flirt with her and took off to keep Mocha company in their own privacy.

Miko was so excited to meet up with his pal from last week, Coconut. The duo quickly picked up where they left off from last week by dancing and prancing around. Miko and Coconut love to box. Their balancing skills impress me very much. Both Miko and Coconut are able to hover on their hind legs for so long, with their front legs in front of them or wrapped around the other. They love dancing around with one another as well as racing in circles. Miko was very pleased with his time with coconut, but was keen to explore the yard and meet some new friends too. Miko briefly danced around with his pal Samson, before being distracted by a great ball being launched across the yard. Miko tried his hardest to keep up with Tank, the fetch rock start. Miko was just as thrilled to race around, as he was to retrieve the ball. He did a couple turns with the ball but mostly followed Tank around on his never-ending game of fetch. When it was time to come in, Miko put up a bit of a stink. It is freezing cold today, but never the less he insisted on staying out and playing. He got a coupe more laps around the yard before we finally convinced him to head indoors for a nap before his next outing.

After a morning up front for some extra attention time, Flash and Zoe were then whisked away for some more fun but this time out in the fluffy white snow! Flash raced out the door in excitement with Zoe and the rest of the small dog gang not far behind. Zoe and the gang were cautious when entering the yard with all of the snow blowing in their faces, but Flash couldn’t be bothered, in fact he enjoyed it and quickly snatched up the orange tennis ball! With the squeaky ball in mouth, Zoe followed her brother into the far yard for some fun and little Maya was hot on Flash’ trail trying to see if she could get the ball from him. Zoe definitely took her time to sniff out her surroundings and do some exploring but she couldn’t help but get excited as Maya and Flash were dancing around on their feet kicking up snow behind them in excitement! Maya just adored little Flash and the two of them were inseparable most of the morning; back and forth they ran, up and down they jumped and they played to their little hearts content! Towards the end of group, Zoe let her guard down and every so often would zoom in for a quick wrestle with her brother and Maya. I have a feeling in no time, Zoe will be leading the pack to a group wrestle; she just needs some time to warm up is all!

Max and Percy had their own little fetch party out in the snow today along with fellow friends Dragon and Gryphon. They were digging up toys from out of the snow that I didn’t even realize were there, they let their noses lead the way! Percy was first to find the orange squeaky ball that Flash had left behind from the group prior and started running around in excitement as the ball squeaked from the pressure of his mouth. This squeak got the attention of Max and he ran as fast as he could from the front yard all the way to the far yard followed by Dragon and Gryphon. He soon realized that Percy wasn’t going to give up the ball so easy, so he made do with the rubber bone he dug up and played a few rounds of fetch with me. Now Percy wanted what Max had and there was a lot of back and forth exchanging of toys. Towards the end, Max let Percy have all of the toys because he got a case of the zoomies and decided to be the entertainment for the morning as he ran back and forth from yard to yard like a speed demon! It was hilarious to watch and even funnier watching Dragon and Gryphon trying to keep up!

Riley and Roobee were ecstatic to spend another morning out in the snow with some of their favourite friends! This sweet pair have such a fun-loving energy that they give off and everyone enjoys their company in the yard. Although their four-legged friends were enticing them to play today, Riley and Roobee were interested in playing with the humankind, they followed Leah into the agility yard. Leah got Riley excited as she chased him around and he excitedly chased her back, Roobee found this to be quite entertaining. Next it was Roobee’s turn, but she didn’t want to play chase, she much preferred a belly rub and got right down into the snow for her attention! They spent the rest of their morning running around but making sure to stay close to our sides in case we were open to more belly rubs! Not to worry, lots more belly rubs to come their way a little later for their individual extra attention time!
