Max and Sadie had a fantastic walk this morning along the back trail. It was the perfect weather to enjoy a nice trot and the two of them were smiling from ear to ear in excitement. A short while later, they were heading back outside again for a morning of play. Sadie was thrilled to have the warm sun shining down on her; she followed the sun around the yard and stretched out in various positions. Max and I were cuddling in the far yard and when I looked over I saw Sadie sprawled out on the gravel, making sure every inch of her body was sunbathing. Max wished his sister was more playful today but she was too busy relaxing! I made sure to give Max all the attention he could ever want and he was quite content with that. During our afternoon outing, it was Max who was feeling relaxed and cuddly! He climbed up behind me on the picnic table and gave me tons of kisses. He's such a big fella that I almost fell off the table! 

Lola, much like her sister Pearl, were full of beans today! They could hardly wait to get out of their kennel this morning for their morning walk! Pearl enjoyed a walk with daycare pal Miko, while Lola enjoyed a leisurely stroll out front with Katie. These sisters met back up together with the rest of their small-legged friends moments later for some fun in the yard! With no hesitation, Lola followed her sister Pearl out into the yard instead of opting for a seat by the door like she usually does. The weather was so nice and she insisted on making a few laps around of the yard. But of course, she grew tired a short while later, so she found the perfect seat in the sun for the rest of her time outside! Pearl on the other hand was too busy exploring the yard; she was on a mission with her little nose to the ground.

Miko had blast running out his energy with little Chase this morning! These two were a match made in heaven and were perfectly sized to play. Miko and Chase immediately ran towards one another when they spotted each other in the yard and started jumping up on their hind legs in excitement. It looked like they were dancing the tango. Then, Chase got a case of the zoomies and started sprinting around the yard in a frenzy. Miko loved this and tried his best to keep up! It was tongues out Tuesday that’s for sure, they had played and ran so much that they were exhausted and panting by the time they headed back inside for a cool drink.

Loki was back for another day of daycare today. He had so much fun yesterday and he was ready to do it all over again! He had a nice walk upon arrival this morning with good pals Missy and Chase and he was excited to see them back out in the yard a little while later. He was quite amused with all the commotion Chase and Miko were stirring up in the yard. He couldn’t help but wiggle his bum and tail every time they came closer but didn’t want to join in the chase. He was too busy exploring the yard, getting head rubs and enjoying the sun; a perfect way to spend his day! 

Boris and Tasha met a new friend on their walk this morning, and they just couldn’t wait to get out into the yard to play with her later on during group time. Boris, Tasha and Haley made a great wrestling team, pouncing all over one another. Percy was quick to run over and join in on the fun, too! He chased after Boris and Tasha, barking away like a referee from the sidelines. When they started to really wrestle, Percy looped around the yard in search of a toy. He was thrilled when I waved a big rubber bone in his direction, and ran over as fast as he could. I threw the toy for Percy, sending him flying back across the yard to catch it. Meanwhile, Boris, Tasha and Haley were racing back and forth, through and over the agility tunnel. Boris loved Haley’s energetic and boisterous personality. She nosed and pawed at him, getting him all wound up, and then would pounce on him or even jump over top of him! Tasha couldn’t resist getting in on the games, of course, and although she watched her son and his new friend some of the time, she was also often right in on the action. Percy bounced his way in and out of the heart of the games throughout his group time. During one of his breaks from playing, Percy went over to the puddle and had a little fun splashing around. He was pleasantly surprised when he came across a ball in the puddle, which he had dropped there last week. Percy raced back over to Boris and Tasha with the ball still in his mouth, barking and pouncing around once again.

Issy and Mocha spent another leisurely day at daycare. It was a lovely day for relaxing, and Mocha did just that. After sitting at her perch on the doorstep for a little while, I encouraged Mocha to come and join the rest of the group in the yard. She followed me out, saying hello to Issy and a couple of other friends along the way. She looked around and observed all of the other dogs pouncing and running around, and decided to go back to her usual spot by the door. I stopped her before she made it too far, though and gave her a good pet. Issy followed her nose all around the yard, into the long grass and over to the agility tunnel. She stopped to have a sniff in the grass with her daughter, Tasha, and watched get grandson, Boris as he goofed around with his pals. Eventually, once she’d thoroughly sniffed the yard, Issy made her way back to the doorstep, where Mocha was soaking up some sunshine.

Kimi kept herself very busy throughout her group time, both being playful and relaxed. She waited and watched as the other dogs flew around the yard, bouncing off one another and the tunnel. Kimi sprung into action after a moment or two and joined the chase with the other dogs. She loves to run around with fellow huskies, Nyxx and Lola. These two goofballs are very entertaining to watch, and Kimi loves to keep a close eye on their shenanigans. She did quite a few laps around the yard, following close behind Nyxx and Lola, among others. When it was time to take a little break, Kimi went back over towards the door and the gate and stopped to sit and look out into the other yard. She looked very relaxed sitting there with her eyes half closed and her nose resting on the fence. I called her name and Kimi perked up when she looked over and saw that I had a cookie in my hand just for her!
