Keegan and Dugan started their day off
bright and early for their morning trail walk with good pal Olive. They were
thankful that the rain stayed away long enough for them to enjoy their daily
trot; Keegan and Dugan were all smiles as they galloped along the trail! A
short while later they were ready to head outside again, but this time to join
the rest of the little ones for a morning of fun and play. Dugan was ecstatic
to see daycare friend Bailey the Beagle since the two of them always have a blast together
and today was no different. Dugan and Bailey raced one another out into the far
grassy yard to make sure they got first dibs on all the toys. Both of them
spotted the rubber ball and went for it, which turned into a playful game of
tug-of-war as they both held on to opposite ends for dear life!
While Dugan and Bailey were busy running
around together, Keegan hung back and made friends with Spaniel siblings Penny
and Pippin. The three of them noticed that I had treats in my pocket and
excitedly followed me around the yard with hopes that they would get a treat!
It was a spaniel party today! Pippin and Penny were thrilled to see brothers
Casper and William and of course silly Ringo. It’s been a while since we have
seen Pippin and Penny and they enjoyed their visit, lots of smiles and great
energy and it was a blast to watch them all interact together!
Maya and Rocky, our usual daycare friends
are in for boarding this time and we are thrilled to have them! They were happy
to start their day off with a morning trot along the back trail. Maya joined
Casper and William while Rocky enjoyed a one-on-one stroll out front. It was a
hot and humid day and Maya and Rocky took their usual seats to lounge out in
the sun. They were in good company, most of the small ones, apart from Bailey
and Dugan hung out together by the door, some in the shade and some in the sun.
Both Maya and Rocky wanted to be right in the sun, and of course they didn’t
mind all the extra attention they got, they both adore head rubs and belly
scratches; the perfect way to start their day!
Sophie is one of the happiest girls I know, and it was so
nice to spend my first group outing of the day with this sweetie. She was ready
for just about any activity on this sunny Monday, including playing fetch and
running around with her friends. Sophie said hellos to everyone in the yard
before scooping up a toy from the grass. She carried it around in her mouth,
holding it up high for everyone to see. I went to throw the toy for Sophie, but
she instead tossed it for herself and rolled on top of it when it landed in the
grass. She was feeling frisky after her roll and went running off to join
Finnigan, Titan and Lotus in their prance around the yard. Sophie didn’t stick
around for long, though and went sprinting away to meet up with Syrus and
Molly, who had found another toy. She eventually made her way back across the
grass yard to sit by my side and ask for some pets. It was getting pretty warm
out so Sophie and I spent the rest of our outing just relaxing and hanging out
together.
Titan and Finnigan were inseparable boys today! Finnigan was
in the mood to run, and Titan couldn’t pass up on a good chase. The pair were
never far behind Lotus the Husky, always taking off running when she did. I
offered Titan and Finnigan both a couple of toys, but they were more focused on
their run than on playing fetch today. It was quite warm outside today, so
Titan eventually looped back around the yard to have a sit under the play
structure for some shade, while Finnigan went and had a seat next to the
tunnel. Titan was watching Finnigan in the other yard and spotted a puddle,
which he of course couldn’t resist laying in! We went and got the hose out and
rinsed Titan off under the cool water, which caught everyone’s attention. Soon
enough almost the whole group was trying to catch the water in their mouths and
get underneath the stream. Later on in the afternoon Titan joined me upfront for some one on one time. He was much more active today and didn't feel like snoozing on the chair. I grabbed a kong and filled it up with some liver treats. Titan was thrilled to push the kong around with his nose and watch it wobble around the room, dispensing a yummy treat the more he pushed it around. It didn't take him long to get all the treats out of the kong. He posed for a few pictures and then trotted back to his kennel to wait for his next turn outside.
Syrus was ready to go go go right off the bat this morning.
He was very eager to get out onto the walking trail next to his walking
buddies, Riley and Rosco. Syrus loved to pounce through the long grass and
weave back and forth across the trail to sniff everything he could get his nose
on. He was still in an exploratory mood later on in the day during his time in
the yard. Syrus ran his nose through all of the long grass around the perimeter
of the yard and took his time before going to greet his friends. Syrus was
happy to see Sophie the Golden playing nearby and quickly trotted off to join
her. Syrus pounced on the big red Jolly Ball that Sophie was batting around
until she picked it up, prompting Syrus to start chasing after her. He wasn’t
too worried about getting the ball back, so Syrus veered off course and went to
join Finnigan and Titan over by the play structure. Syrus watched Titan as he
wove in and out of the bottom level of the play house, and decided to follow
him inside. Syrus jumped up onto the upper level and looked around at the rest
of the dogs from his new point of view.
Annie and Zen get more and more playful every time they come
in for daycare! They met up with their friend Tango from last week, who was
very happy to see his fluffy friends again today. Tango immediately went to
greet Annie and Zen, and play-bowed in their direction, ready to play. Annie
was more interested in gazing out into the field for the time being, but Zen
showed a little interest in Tango’s request. She gave in to Tango’s play-bow
and started to pounce around with him for a little while. Meanwhile, Annie left
her post by the fence and went to go and say hello to her new friend, Riley who
was laying down in the grass and enjoying the breeze. Eventually Annie decided
to join Zen in a little play time with her friend Tango, and she was even more
excited when she saw Riley hop up from her spot in the grass to come and join
them.
